Climate spin – more than just a game, it's 'Wheel of Gore'

Over at Ben Garrison’s website, he writes about climate change and produces a grrraphic.

One thing I don’t like about true believers is they like to set up extreme negatives for those who disbelieve.

Whistleblowers who don’t go along with statism are called ‘traitors’ and threatened with imprisonment. Don’t believe in war? You’re unpatriotic. Don’t agree with Obama? You’re racist. Don’t agree with Hillary? You’re sexist.

Don’t believe in global warming, er, climate change? Your intelligence is questioned and your character impugned. You get called a stupid racist redneck or a planet hater. Some statists have even called ‘climate deniers’ to be imprisoned.

Yep. But at least Ben can visualize the climate spin and laugh about it afterwards.

What’s needed is one of those 8-balls that predicts the future that has all those sayings in it… The Climate Change AlGoricleTM!

Can I use a hockey stick to spin Gore? I sure don’t want to get any gore on my hands….

“Spin the wheel and win a prize,
A prize on every spin.
And even when the wheel is still,
for every prize there’s spin!”

Gore is pretty tricky – which hand is pointing to the prize?

I’m pretty sure it’s the left. You know, the sinister side.

JohnWho, good one! I had to ponder a bit but the other outstretched hand waiting for coinage suddenly clicked.

He’s only sinister on one side? You sure?

Whoever realizes that this game could actually become a best seller needs to understand one very important thing: The spinner MUST be made out of wood.

Sweet Old Bob, please recognize that a further abbreviation would make you an SOB. Now if you intended that, why not just say so… (ok, about as far as my humor challenged mind can go…)
And no. Gore gets gored on his own hockey sticks. There is no need for any goring assistance.

Some irony: fossilized wood.

Wonderful. Its amazing how Gore has made so much money out of demonising that life giving gas CO2. Shows how Darwin was wrong, evolution does not always improve the species, people especially politicians, are actually getting dumber. Hi.

I particularly enjoy how dust bowls are “climate change”.

Agreed. Would make a reasonable bumper sticker, too. Not a game, though. A person would get really bored with it after two seconds.

Ben uses the kind of strong language that makes you smile but that shows the person speaking does not carry the burden of responsibility. That’s fine, of course.
