“Right now, I need humor to help me through today. The now-politicized U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has just declared a harmless gas as a hazard to health and public safety.
Someone pinch me.”
pinch you?? heck no! i’m gonna sue you all for exhaling that deadly hazard in my presence! 🙂
This is Armenian Radio; our listeners asked us: “Why do we need two central newspapers, Pravda (Truth) and Izvestiya (News) if both are organs of the same Party?” We’re answering: “Because in Pravda there is no news, and in Izvestiya there is no truth.”
ClimateGate version:
This is BBC; our listeners asked us: “Why do we need two central journals, Nature (finest peer-reviewed research in all fields of science and technology) and New Scientist (scientific discovery, and its industrial, commercial and social consequences) if both are organs of the same climate scientists?” We’re answering: “Because in Nature there is no scientific discovery, and in New Scientist there is no true peer-reviewed research from any field of science or technology.”

V. good, assume you’re working on the ‘Idiot Wind’ remix right now.
Copenhagen police should watch the conference attendees carefully, in case they decide to riot to protest the depiction of their god Global Warming.

Glen Beck is going to do a piece on CO2 poison now.

“Sorry, it is Monday, but it’s not funny. I wake up for a new week at work and read the BBC website telling me the Copenhagen conference has started (no sh*t!). Oh, and that 62% of Britons believe climate change is a really serious problem and we need to do something . Now!
Then, I get in my car and drive to my job and listen to Radio Scotland telling me two thirds of Scots believe the same (after reading the rasmussen poll over the weekend – amongst others -which suggested otherwise.”
Hardly surprising results considering the amount of propaganda put out by the BBC in the past few weeks.
Here’s another “climate science” chuckle that proves “the more things change, the more they remain the same!”.
The US National Science Board (part of the National Science Foundation) issued a report titled Science and the Challenges Ahead that makes six interesting science-based observations and predictions. (Three relevant paragraphs from pages 24-25 of the linked document are reproduced here
Direct quotes:
1- “Human activity may be involved on an even broader scale in changing the global climate.”
2- “During the last 20-30 years, world temperature has fallen …”
3- “… there is increasing concern that man himself may be implicated, not only in the recent cooling trend but also in the warming temperatures …
4- “… activities of the expanding human population – especially those involved with the burning of fossil fuels – raised the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere, which acts as a ‘greenhouse’ …”
5- “But simulataneously … growing industrialization and the spread of agriculture introduced increasing quantities of dust into the atmosphere which reduced the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth. … the cooling effect of the dust particles more than compensated for the warming effect of the carbon dioxide, and world temperature began to fall.”
6- “Several consequences [of colder temperatures] have been observed: … southward intrusion of sea-ice … unusually large numbers of severe storms … development of a calamitous drought belt extending around the world …”
Oh, I forgot to mention, the report was issued in 1974! (Well before Climategate :^)
Warming, cooling, … whatever – it is always MAN’s fault! (And, of course, WOMAN’s too :^)
Could it be NATURAL CYCLES not within Human Control?
Nope – No grant money in that!
Gentlemen, you’re all getting a bit hot and bothered; you need a calming influence, somthing cool, and green, and long lasting perhaps, something like this…?

This makes me laugh. Really, and I am allergic to smiling.
Before concluding that Global Warming is a serious problem then let’s see what will happen when the forecast from NOAA showing the combined impact of a negative AO and negative NAO is at the possible greatest point of the year in several days.
I looked at the NOAA forecasts, that point may be reached during the Copenhagen conference assuming it’s a week long, could become a symbol of the Gore effect on a grand scale. 🙂
George would have been an excellent keynote speaker at COP-15.

George Carlin on Global Warming
Here’s a Tuesday funny. A warmist friend sent me this link, ironically dated just before ClimateGate broke. A classic compendium of crap: http://www-personal.buseco.monash.edu.au/~BParris/BPClimateChangeQ&As.html#_Toc240972830
Cherry-picking, some may say
Is pleasant work and fine,
But murky moil and toil it is
When you’re hiding the decline.

See what the ice looked like from the Canadian governments perspective in September: They would have had to travel a long way north to get into the really old stuff.

Glenn Beck just showed the polar bears dropping from the sky and their blood and guts splattering all over the sidewalk. He warned the parents to not let the children see it.
Funny cartoons notwithstanding, the level of public anger about this intrusion on our personal liberties, taxes, and hypocrisy over a non problem is reaching levels not seen in many years. All one need do is surf around the net to see that a great many people are very close to taking violent action to put a stop to the AGW agenda. If legal action against the EPA and voter action against those in congress who promote the AGW agenda is insufficient there is no doubt in my mind that more aggressive measures will occur. If that comes to pass, the govt. of the US and those of other countries will impose stricter measures on public assembly, freedom of speech, travel, etc. We are heading for a showdown.

I came across this-

comments?
“Ship navigation across the pole is imminent as the type of ice which resides there is no longer a barrier to ships in the late summer and fall,” Barber says.
And they’ll be proving this hypothesis when?
This doesn’t look quite so funny … more like blatant malfeasance!
Copenhagen climate summit: Barack Obama given power to cut greenhouse gases
Maybe Monkton had the right idea but the wrong ruse. So what do all you US constitution and legal types around here think, will he get away with this?

Ahhh… That’s much better. Thank you.
Right, now that we know that the science is settled, and there’s no longer any doubt whatsoever that AGW is real, it’s happening, and is going to have catastrophic consequences, why the he** are we still paying for an army of scientists and their hideously expensive supercomputers?
Close down all the climate research facilities and save the taxpayer a bomb – those scientists are becoming something of a liability anyway.
Here in Canada, during the buildup to and on the Eve of Carbonhagen summit, our trusty MSM channels were busy brainwashing the sheople by such gems as “The Inconvenient Truth” and “Hot Planet”, among others. Climategate is, at best, a footnote hidden on some back page. Rex Murphy did a brilliant piece on it. But overall, the party line is still toed here – business and AGW propaganda as usual for MSM.

I see the Saudis asked for an investigation into climategate… now that IS backed by big oil LOL
