The chooming is strong with this one.
Once in awhile, something so over-the-top dumb comes along, that all you can do is point and laugh. This is one of those times. From my Twitter feed:
Dumbest climate activist statement, evar! @climatebrad I'm sure people worldwide can check on that boiling for ya! pic.twitter.com/9XKSvB4S8H

I think he meant “addiction” since as far as I know, we aren’t dumping coal into the oceans. Brad Johnson is the same activist fool that once said tornadoes were payback for voting the wrong way:
No wonder he got booted off climate Progress. He’s too “out there” even for Jolting Joe Romm! Now he runs “Forecast the Facts”.

They are all morons, starting with Mr. Gore – moron supreme.
Amazing, but not surprising. It’s not science, it’s a crusade – and I mean that in the blindest, most delusionary sense.
No colour bar. Red bad. Got it.
Bizzaro! Putting aside the moronic comment, that doesn’t even look like a SST map in any way shape or form. Where is the current NE Pacific warm anomaly? None of the anomalies match anything on the current SST map!
see actual sea surface temperture anomalies here:

OK But assuming doesn’t actually mean boiling point, where did that map come from? It can’t be Argo data. I clicked on it and it simply went to the image and not the twitter feed. No time to do that now. Anyone know the data source?
Perhaps he made the mistake of taking literally Homer’s Wine-dark Sea!
Dumbest climate activist… evar!
Fixed!
When you’re out of facts, well, forecast them!
Dumbest climate activist statement, evar!…
Que? Thought the dumbest activist (for the rest of the World!), regardless area/field/topic… was namned Al Gore… Pls. elaborate, Plenty txs…

Here is the source of the graphic. NOAA’s state of the climate report.
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/2013/11
Note the graphic Brad cites contains both land and ocean data, so apparently the land was boiling too.
Hmmm … so did we just have the first recorded incident of icebreakers stuck in boiling water?
Yes , that was bad, but did you see the one posted on ICECAP ??? I think this one might be worse . See link & Thomas Friedman quote :

“Until we fully understand what turned two brothers who allegedly perpetrated the Boston Marathon bombings into murderers, it is hard to make any policy recommendation other than this: We need to redouble our efforts to make America stronger and healthier so it remains a vibrant counterexample to whatever bigoted ideology may have gripped these young men….And the best place to start is with a carbon tax.”
What?! Somebody had a sea food ‘boil’ and didn’t invite us to the beach party?????
How Rude……………
Oh, I think Nuccitelli and Sinclair just topped this idiot. – http://suyts.wordpress.com/2014/01/13/peter-sinclair-gets-the-warmist-scumbag-liar-of-the-month-award/
Having a determination on “why the sea is boiling hot” the walrus and the carpenter are now down to “whether pigs have wings”…
Global warming now clearly responsible for more premature deaths of oysters.
I doubt this is the dumbest ever, that takes some doing. But I am a bit more forgiving, I don’t think anyone really thinks the oceans are boiling. I think that anyone who says that is talking figuratively, the same way that a lot of people might say “I am going to kill you” but never actually kill anyone.
The underclasses have to bitch, and make a mark on their lives. It’s human nature to feel jealous of others who appear better off, but basically they are ‘pissing in the wind’. But unfortunately there are reasonable people who believe what these scare mongers say. Like Flim Flam Flannery. Why would he give out wrong information about sea rising when he owns a home on the Hawkesbury River you can only gain easy access by boat? Fair dinkum. We were thinking of buying the house years ago, but the access was a challenge or you had to travel miles on a bush track to get to it. OK if you didn’t have to go to work each day or had school kids. (Well before the internet by the way or emails). Or a holiday home etc. As soon as Al Gore started yelling I knew by my studies at Uni, that this was wrong, and we were more likely to head towards another cool period or mini ice age. I nearly died when he got the nobel prize and then academy award. And we are overdue for another full glacial period, that will kill people off unless they move to the Southern Hemisphere. Will not happen in our life time, unless the Arctic circle stretches further south and the Gulf Stream is diverted. I really think more education of the masses, is not what some governments want! Restricting information is a world wide government ploy. At least the Australian government is taking a stand, and gud luck to them.
What is “polluting the climate”, anyway? Definition, please. How would you know that the climate was polluted? Would it smell bad? Would it get moldy??? Someone care to shed some light on this alarming term? No? Then how can they be “deliberately ignoring warnings from the ‘scientists'”? (cue footage of a phalanx of scientists, with pocket protectors and horn-rimmed glasses, urging the big GovGuys to ‘act’).
I nominate this statement as the stupidest CAGW statement ever:
Stephen Hawking: Earth could become like ‘sister planet’ Venus due to global warming
Desperate people say desperate (stupid) things.
The expression is out of context, pollution is real though. Note the deadly smogs of London in the 50s that heralded the smoke free zones (Coal fires and industrial ) part due to the closeness to the Thames and humidity. They stopped it and within 10 years the SMOGS were gone. The Thames was cleaner etc., unfortunately cities are the culprits and create their own UHI and air pollution. But outside this is not evident, but fertilizers leaching into water ways can increase the blue green algae, especially when the water flow is low due to drought. But you are right, you can not pollute ‘the climate’ just the air and ground near human habitation, including water resources.
Stephen Hawking, shame on you. As an Astrophyicist, Venus is far closer to the sun than Earth.
And they don’t have our atmosphere.
Oh no! Boiling oceans!
Well our oceans could almost boil if they were not being cooled by a radiatively cooled atmosphere.
How hot? Maybe 80C
But climate pseudo scientists claim that they would freeze without an atmosphere with radiative gases! Can we check that via empirical experiment? Yes –
http://i42.tinypic.com/315nbdl.jpg
What about empirical observation?
The “Snow Line” in the solar system is 3 AU.
The oceans won’t freeze without DWLWIR.
And that is the radiative GHE disproved right there.
The atmosphere cools our oceans and radiative gases cool our atmosphere.
The only thing boiling here is Brad Johnson’s brain.
Bushbunny: “I really think more education of the masses, is not what some governments want!”
What the gov’t DOESN’T want is for people to properly use commas.
@John, I wouldn’t call Gore a moron, he has made quite a fortune with his climate scams. The folks who believe him might deserve some derision.
I often wonder if people like Johnson actually believe the tripe they put out.
