Bishop Hill notes:
Geoff Chambers points me to the (almost inevitable) “Downfall” video to accompany Stephan Lewandowsky’s recent (Fury paper retraction) demise. Enjoy.

You know you have hit the big time when you get parodied with the downfall snip! LOL
The best yet! I bet that is what their meeting was like. The war is lost. It’s just not over yet.

So very close to the truth and funny.
Braced myself for an actual video of Lew., was relieved and finally laughing out loud by the end. Thanks.
When confronted by zealots who argue white is now black, humour is probably the best response – well done!
“They’ll even make one of those stupid Hitler videos about me.”
Whahahahaha! The “Hitler rant” videos are among my favorites on Youtube.
de rigueur, nonetheless priceless.
Thank you for the laugh, great video, so true.
Best Hitler video yet. Seen many of them, but I was laughing out loud at this one. Congrats!
One of the best ‘downfalls’ I’ve seen.
Though I have to say that the movie cast are much better looking than those being parodied.
Love the Downfall parodies. The movie itself is a master piece.
A lot of the cleverness in the parodies comes from how the author uses the canned action to make subtle jokes. Which lead to my one minor critique : at the point where our protagonist says “Everyone leave the room except Cook, Nuccitelli, Oberauer and Marriott” I think that should be more like “Everyone who no longer believes in AGW leave the room”.

Funneee … well done. ☺ Thanks.
Who is Elaine?
Maybe he’ll do a paper about the video?
Hitler accusing others of being deniers is doubly ironic.
He could call it “Refluxive Furry”.
(Think “hairball”.)
Not exactly the perfect thread to respond with this link. This essay from Randall Carlson reminds me of the “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” reply, but in response to a reader’s questions regarding climate change.

“…Elaine McKewon, one of the peer-reviewers for Recursive Fury…”

Maybe she was the student expert reviewer of the Lew paper?
Or Elaine could have been Naomi Oreskes.
Note how “Stalin” is synched to the subtitled “Koch brothers”. Almost as good as working an actual reference to Stalin into unrelated title content.
Sehr lustiges Video. Ich denke, die meisten Leute keine Ahnung, wer diese Namen sind, haben aber für diejenigen von uns, die tun, es ist urkomisch!

Bishop Hill forgot to add the /sarc tag to the video.
(But then again, who knows?)
Sehr urkomisch. Geil !
Just glad it was a stand-in. I could not stomach seeing another real video of Lew’s face.
It’s amazing that Lew actually believes he conducted a real study. We MUST continue to make fun of Lew’s stupidity.
He knows it wasn’t a real study but it served it’s purpose in the MSM.

Thanks for the link, Richard. Randall Carlson penned a thoughtful overview of climate change in his reply. He also made several statements that I hadn’t heard before. Have either of the following been discussed here at WUWT?
1. “It has been pointed out that Muller used a reliability rating for temperature stations that is over a decade old. New reliability ratings have recently become available and when they are applied at least half of the presumed average global temperature increase disappears.”
2. “Not a single all time, state high temperature record has been set since the year 1995, when a temperature of 106° F was recorded in Danbury, Connecticut. … Of all 50 states, exactly half experienced record high temperatures during the 1930s. This is powerful evidence that, at least for North America, the 1930s was the hottest decade since comprehensive instrumented record keeping began in the 19th century. And again, the amount of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere during that decade was negligible.”

I know we have discussed the fact that (for the US) 1998 became the hottest year only after temperatures in the 1930s were adjusted downward in a series of adjustments that reduced temperatures by as much as half a degree. But I didn’t know that half of the states experienced record high temperatures during the 1930s, or that no state has set an all time temperature record since 1995. That’s almost 2 decades. If 1998 is supposed to be the hottest year on record, surely some high temperatures must have been broken that year somewhere in North America. Does anyone know if Randall Carlson’s information above is correct?
Loved the line about: “and you idiots dressed up in the … uniforms”
Louis,
Randall doesn’t say things lightly. I would love to see his stuff fact checked. And Nobody from the evil empire should debate him! It would be a slaughter. He has computer like memory of details that I cannot comprehend. I have attended lectures where he described what the end of the last ice age was like. He has documented floods that defy belief. Talk about climate change — what would happen if there was a significant bolide event?

I thought it was someone parodying Lew until I saw a corroborating picture of him. Sure enough he is serious in the bizarre video I posted above. It was not a spoof.
Chris B,
I honestly didn’t realise how seriously delusional he is. Very, very scary.
Lew will undoubtedly conclude that those of us that find this funny are psychologically impaired.

Indeed. I’m sure we will read all about it in a new scientific publication very soon.
I will hang around his neck for months, like a smelly bit of ….. Has anyone heard from him publically, I know several editors resigned.
Lewandowski has a “fake” Aussie accent? To me his accent wasn’t anywhere near Aussie, fake or otherwise. He sounded North American.
It’s got to be the best Hitler climate video yet.
Beautiful!
Yeah…I am sure the next paper from Lewandowski will be an analysis of parody videos. He’s probably decided that now HE has been parodied he has ‘arrived’.
I needed that this evening. Thanks!
Chris B.
As much as the Hitler thing was amusing the actual video of that wack-job Lewandowsky was disturbing. Thanks for posting it.
What an absurdly contrived and unnatural self absorbed pontification. I hardly think he was involved in science with that diatribe. He criticized people blocked from the peer review process by AGW activists for seeking alternative means to get the word out. Now he is doing exactly that himself! Does he know? Or has he suffered some psychic fracture disabling him?
In as much as Lewandowsky claims a correlation between Skepticism of AGW and adherence to free market principles, I argue that the opposite is even more true, that Climate Nazis believe in government control and wealth redistribution as a social policy and furthermore, the green movement, and the club of Rome is using fake AGW to get to a global socialized state, run by the UN.
Thanks Chris B. albeit a disturbing experience.
I say accept Lewandowsky as a suitable straw-man spokesman for AGW. Then let him continue to discredit the whole farce of AGW by virtue of his own actions…like Al Gore the clown, Mann the liar, Gleik the criminal.
He is one of those “useful idiots”
I’ve never seen one of these Hitler videos before, its hilarious, The best thing on the web.

It’s an except from the German movie “Downfall” I believe.
Both videos.
Acted as an emetic.
It might just be me, but I’m kind of tired of the Hitler parodies.
@Mike. “Everyone who is no longer willing to believe in AGW leave the room”.
This will happen one day.
Someone should repost that Lewandowski missive on Halloween.
But please, no sooner!
They got the minister of Propaganda right
If only Hitler had retreated to a tree hut!
“It’s an except from the German movie “Downfall” I believe.”
Correct, Mike. It is a most powerful film.
A superb GOODIE! Big Thanks 😀
Here another Goodie with German origin:
Brgds from Sweden
Best one yet, spread this around.

By chance I watched Downfall again about a week ago. I agree, it is a masterpiece.
This youtube is very good, but I think the best Downfall climate youtube was the one that showed Hitler ranting about ‘hide the decline’.
Great stuff!
Chris
You have remarked very interesting details! P.s. Nice web site =)
