Heh. Everybody gets equal treatment in this parody of the state of climate change. When you step back and look at it all, it is pretty funny. -A
New Study Suggests News Climate Is Warming
A new study suggests that the IPCC is losing 10% of it’s credibility mass every month, and could have completely disappeared by Christmas.
“It’s shrinking faster that we thought” said Anthony Watts the renowned skeptical blogger, who led a small team of dedicated bloggers, analysing over 10,000 news articles and blogs on the Internet. “Not one of them contained the phrase ‘The IPCC is innocent'”, explained Mr. Watts, “Not even their unofficial web-site RealClimate.org“
Intrepid Spoof reporters sought comments worldwide. Dr. Rajendra K. Pachauri, the eminent Himalayan glacier expert, was interviewed as he emerged from his hairdresser’s salon in downtown Delhi. “It’s a travesty!” he exclaimed, “I have newspaper cuttings and a 1988 photograph to prove it”.
Dr. Pachauri posed for photographs before he continued. “There was just one small error” he explained. “They wrote their reports in English. If they’d used Sanskrit, none of this would have happened”.
Dr. Pachauri spoke briefly to other reporters before posing for more photographs, and was then whisked off in his motorcade to a special meeting of the Railway Engineers Society of India, where he’s to be given a lifetime service award.
AGW skeptic Viscount Monckton of Brenchley commented “It doesn’t surprise me – if you’re striving for a New World Order you can expect a few minor scandals, though they’ve had a lot of major goofs. There’s probably a world lecture tour in this for me – privately, I’m laughing my socks off”.
This reporter sought out climate expert Dr. James Hansen in his office, surrounded by computer screens, charts and bottles of Tipp-ex and Liquid Paper.

You guys are making me tear up from nostalgia.
OK. Who ever runs this site has my respect. They have a lot more content than I have been able to generate. So kudo’s to the chef.
Very nicely done.
I am now miffed when I read this spin that the AGW fools have made one of their major talking points.
“In recent years, the corporate PR campaign has gone viral, spawning a denial movement that is distributed, decentralized and largely immune to reasoned response,” the group said.’
In recent years, the Crowd Sourcing PR campaign has gone viral, spawning a denial movement that is distributed, decentralized and largely immune to un-reasoned response,” I said.
There, fixed it for ya.
add to previous comment
The denial movement was never much of a corporate PR campaign as they were out gunned by the alarmists money 1000 to 1. Free crowd sourcing leveled the playing field.
Greenpeace Says Climate Denialism a 20–Year Industry

Dr. Suzuki, a former board member of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. “It’s an intergenerational crime in the face of all the knowledge and science from over 20 years.”
Dr.SH (show business) Suzuki: You are right, your subconscious mind betrayed you: It is “an intergenerational crime”, but you should study history, since all this really began during the French Revolution. The descendants of those who funded the FR are the ones after all this, just to keep speculative ways of making money instead of working, as it used to be until then. The liberal state was borned, read Rosseau:
http://www.infed.org/thinkers/et-rous.htm
All citizens should participate – and should be committed to the general good – even if it means acting against their private or personal interests. For example, we might support a political party that proposes to tax us heavily (as we have a large income) because we can see the benefit that this taxation can bring to all. To this extend, Rousseau believed that the good individual, or citizen, should not put their private ambitions first.
Dig and find the source of all.

You guys can laugh all you want…but what are you gonna say when it turns out to be true?
This is why I support Laugh & Trade.

This Spoof is not peer reviewed! Clearly it is funded by Big Oil, tobacco magnates, the Creationists … All man the barricades of Science at once … Get Pachauri back from his hero’s amorous adventures upon the glaciers … Get Ehrlich and tell him this is no time to be s***scared … I almost reached a tipping point (from my chair) … quick, a Nature editiorial may quench the flames of insurrection before they cause too much warming …
As someone down here in Oz once said, sometimes the truth isn’t just stranger than fiction, it’s also funnier.
“What did the Vikings know?”

…Midden deposits in the shelters and caves yield corn cobs, projectile points, bones of food animals and the burials themselves. Some caves have deposits as deep as seventeen feet, indicating thousands of years of occupation.
The Indian population was always sparse in this area with never more than one or two families living in any one place. No large villages are found and little or no evidence is noted of warfare. These were simple people living a subsistence life.
Hernando DeSoto was the first European to enter Arkansas, doing so in June of 1541. Although he never saw the Ozarks, he inquired of the Tunica Indians (whom he met at a village near the city of Parkin) and was told by them that the area to the north and west was sparsely populated by a nomadic people and that it was a cold climate.
The Ozark’s Indians had, for the most part, abandoned this area long before the Europeans arrived due to a long period of drought that existed around the year 1200. This dry period may have lasted for over one hundred years. Remnants of clothing found in the top layers of the dry bluff shelters in Newton and surrounding counties are made from Yucca fibers, a desert dwelling plant. A dry climate would indicate difficulty in growing corn and the migration of wild animals to other areas. The people simply moved away, seeking a better life, leaving their abandoned homes for modern man to explore and ponder centuries later….
The Ozark Mountains sure aren’t a desert environment now. They are covered by large tracts of forest and contain plenty of water. But these Indians couldn’t submit an article to a mainstream journal, so…
Satire and ridicule are such potent weapons.

Even the Ohio Scientific ‘Super Board II’ I had before the ZX-81 could have handled the simplistic ‘modeling’ that the IPCC hangs its hat on, (heck it even had 4K of RAM!).
Hey that was my first PC ! I used it to do engineering calculations and even hooked it up to a EPROM programmer by soldering to the circuit board pads under the 6502.
It was very useful for years.
Very well done.
Hopefully, Dr. Jones had better luck finding his car keys than he did finding … well, you know.
Wonderful! I posted it to my Facebook profile – deserves the widest possible readership…
This study is fawlty: at a 10% loss per month, by Christmas its credibility mass would only be down to .387420489 of the original value. In fact, its credibility can never actually reach zero, just approach it. 🙂
Great spoof Anthony ;-))
But, this is no spoof – high five WUWT mods!!

The sad thing is it contains more facts and less invention than the MSM. Great read, thank you for that.
I always say a good joke is always in good taste.
Well, except for that one about the Duke, the snake charmer and the champagne bottle.
Oh, and the one about the vicar’s daughter and the rabbits, and the one about the nuns and the lebrechauns…
Okay, most good jokes are in good taste. Except the ones that aren’t.
The eco-enquirer satire is fun though.

The ‘Spoof’ article, at the end, states that it’s entirely fictitional. But you know what? After observing the antics of these people I’ve come to
The conclusion that this is the most accurate reporting I’ve ever read about global warming.

“Winner of £1m Templeton prize attacks ‘fundamentalism’ of Dawkins
The “scientific fundamentalism” promoted by the atheist Richard Dawkins was criticised yesterday by the winner of a prize he had attacked.
Professor Francisco Ayala, who won the £1 million Templeton Prize for scientific thought, said that attacking religion and ridiculing believers provided ammunition for religious leaders who insisted that followers had to choose between God and Darwin. “Richard Dawkins has been a friend for more than 20 years, but it is unfortunate that he goes beyond the boundaries of science in making statements that antagonise believers,” he said.
Professor Ayala, of the University of California, Irvine, who is an authority on evolution and genetics, won the prize for his contribution to the question “Does scientific knowledge contradict religious belief?”. The prize, the largest of its kind, was founded by the late entrepreneur Sir John Templeton to honour scientists who contribute to progress in religion.
The professor, who was born in Spain and is a naturalised American, says science and religion cannot be in contradiction because they address different questions. It is only when either subject oversteps its boundary, as he believes is the case with Professor Dawkins, that a contradiction arises, he said. “The scientific fundamentalism proposed by Dawkins implies a materialistic view of the world. But once science has had its say, there remains much about reality that is of interest. Common sense tells us that science can’t tell us everything.””

I wonder if Gavin’s readers will take it in the fun way we have?

Fixed!

But what if God is the greatest scientist of them all?
This spoof definitely has its merits, since it’s not always possible to educate and inform the masses, but you can certainly raise their awareness through entertainment. As Johnny Carson used to say “OK Ed, we’re on, let’s entertain the hell out of them”.
