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.

I liked “the Darwin Regional Office for Non-Governmental Organisations (DRONGO)” – had to Google it to see if it actually exists. This piece was beautifully written. Thanks for the laugh, The Spoof and Anthony. I would put it on my office door, but it’s already plastered with the Curry statement and Eschenbach response, and lots of Climategate info – not sure enough people would get the jokes, either. A definite keeper, though!
Don’t forget to watch for this topic on The Onion!

THANKS for the above post, I even went to the blog and read the whole thing.
Put a smile on my face. 🙂
“Mann made global warming”…
Hilarious!
Fantastic! Great way to start off the w/e.
“the Darwin Regional Office for Non-Governmental Organisations (DRONGO)”
Had me chuckling to myself for a while…he he he he…
Thankyou Anthony.
Very wise. Unfortunately I was eating lunch at the time, hence the warning 😉
Ah, the Sinclair ZX81! (cue nostalgic violins), my first computer. It had a whole 1K of RAM, incredibly irritating rubber keys, you had to plug it into the telly to see anything and could only store your data on a cassette player, which took forever and sometimes failed, but it had a workable BASIC and was good enough for me to learn how to program on. The 16K RAM add-on cost nearly as much as the computer itself and had to be propped up with a piece of cardboard because if you sneezed it came out and you lost hours of work, which was great fun. I learned very early on not to bang the desk every time I got a syntax error 😉
And in other somewhat related and – slightly to considerably (depending on your perspective) – more serious news … have I got a graph for you!
There are 44 Chapters in AR 4, each of which has “References” for the citations in the body of the chapter. 40 of the 44 Chapters contain details of material not published until 2007.
I think this must have been a remarkable feat on the part of the Reviewers (who, according to the IPCC schedule, were to have completed their work by mid-Sept. 2006)
Short version: AR4 contains no less than 354 giant leaps back to the future. Read all about it at:

I just didn’t realise what an impact my little satire would have! This is my first effort on The Spoof – I knocked it up in about an hour on Tuesday evening, and searched for a suitable site to post it on – The Spoof seemed the best – it’s got a feature-full “writers desk” for anyone who’s interested in venting their spleen through satire – just like a mini-word processor.
I’m gratified, humbled and astonished at the response (and privately laughing my socks off).
I think I’ll go and have a lie down…..
BTW AlGore’s houseboat really IS named “B.S.One” meaning “Bio-Solar One” (I guess he just didn’t make the connection), and it IS berthed at Hurricane Marina in Smithville, Tennessee!
I don’t make this stuff up…..
We are collecting jokes, satire and all of the “Monsters in the Closet” ridiculous attempts by Global Warmers to scare people at http://Www.WarmerPorn.com
Cheers!
