Tuesday Tittering – Drill baby, drill

Josh writes:

Apparently Dana Nuccitelli works for the fossil fuel industry, see here and here, so I thought a cartoon of him at work would be helpful. If you want to get the slightly obscure but apposite references to Drillbit then Google is your friend 😉

A Tetra is a fish.
Fish are slippery.
Maybe that’s the connection?

The third component of definition 1 seems particularly appropriate.

It looks like Nutty Celli has been making some entries to Urban dictionary as well.

In June of 2012 Tetra Tech, Dana’s fossil fuel employer, purchased a company engaged in shale oil extraction. Did I hear ‘Big Oil shill’ or should that be ‘Big Oil shale’. Never again will Dana be fast a loose with his mouth about big oil. He’ll probably shift to Big Gas.

From the link for Delingpole he seems to have summed the global warming debate very nicely.

Our beef with the alarmists is not over the issue “Do humans contribute to climate change?” It’s over “Do humans significantly contribute to climate chnage?” “Is there any evidence that this climate change is catastrophic or unprecedented?” “Do we need to do anything about it?” “Can we do anything about it?” “And are we sure that the cures currently being proposed aren’t worse than the problem they’re supposed to solve?”

Every sceptical blogger should have this quote inserted automatically at the bottom of their pages.

More revelations about Dana. I wonder whether the Guardian is aware of this conflict of interest?

In Alberta, we’re smart enough to finish building the pipeline before pushing the oil through it.

In Europe that dirty oil just got green as it “helps” wind power to perform when the blades no longer spin due to a lack of wind. The most expensive “help” possible that is. http://www.eureferendum.com/blogview.aspx?blogno=84176

Isn’t it beautiful when our future mandatory electric cars receive their re-charge from a diesel fueled power generator? How “green” can you get. US DOLLAR GREEN that is.

Nuccitelli is excellent when spread on toast. Of course, toast is hot, just like our anthropogenically changed climate.

I find the hypocrisy nauseating. Thankfully, “Big Oil Shill” is no longer a weapon in their arsenal.

Drillbit Dana … LOL brilliant !!

July 25, 2013 4:40 pm

Well, I don’t get the cartoon including the name “drillbit dana”.
There is a serious drilling company named Dana: http://www.offshoreenergytoday.com/dana-spins-drill-bit-in-dutch-north-sea/
Dana is a common name, including of heavy duty automotive drivetrains.
