The force of growing popularity of the Aegis’ “Our Climate” iPhone app has caused some climate alarmists to circle the wagons and regroup. For example, Joe Romm at Climate Progress is calling for
“… suggestions for improving the one liners.”
…related to John Cook’s alarmist iPhone app.
I think it is telling that they are reacting so visibly and so quickly. They probably were not prepared for such popularity (of the Our Climate App) after the staged smackdown in the Guardian backfired.
See: Climate change denial? There’s an app for that.
Meanwhile the “Our Climate” app continues its surge of downloads and is featured in the Top 40 “New and Notable” Apps on the iTunes frontpage, plus the top 5 category position in many countries:

There are more than 230,000 Apps in the App store – Only 40 Apps are featured in this front page category at any time, so this is a singular achievement and opportunity for the truly skeptical side of the story to be heard.
“Our Climate” is now the Number 1 Weather App in Five iTunes App Stores:
1. Malaysia
1. Uruguay
1. India
1. Hong Kong
1. Brazil
Also number 2 in:
2. Canada

And fourth in:

Today… Apple. Tomorrow… the world!
Heh.
Taunt them a second time!
But pity the hamsters…
I better brush up on my bon mots in advance of Romm’s verbal barbs LOL! Trading quips with humourless warmists is like kicking puppies—so easy to do that it’s immoral.
I wonder how long it will be before RC have a App out. Go on Gavin. You know you want to.
One slight word of caution. I do wonder if a portion of the downloads are by people who don’t read the app description and think it is going to cater to their need for doom and gloom prognostications? I know in that brief period of my life, when I had an iPhone, I downloaded a few apps that were not what I thought they would be. Carelessness on my part, but still….
And as if by magic . . .

As you’ve been spamming about your app every other day now for quite some time, I thought I’d buy a copy :p.
It’s actually rather good!
In Star Trek, the Borg were defeated by introducing disruptive thoughts into the collective.
It made them panic and argue among themselves.
Android waits with envy.
I love how Joe Romm has promoted John Cook from a former physics student to “physicist.”
Can’t these guys ever tell the truth? I guess that lying comes so natural to them that they don’t even notice when they’re doing it.
Any chance this will app will be made available on Android phones?
According to the poll results in the app, Asia is very concerned about the climate. 84% says it’s a big problem. 85% says it’s urgent to remedy…
Just became the proud owner of the “Our Climate” app.

Well actually it ain’t spam if it is on your own Blog. There’s a cure for that; up above is an address line; and if you type ” http://www.almost any letters.com ” and hit return it will probably take you almost anywhere, but this spam overloaded page. I’m sure if you replace “almost any letters” with “Google” or “wikipedia” you’ll get somewhere else but here. Good luck !
They probably were not prepared for such popularity
That’s because they haven’t been paying attention to the poll numbers, and the cold weather, and the big one…CLIMATEGATE…Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! 😉
But seriously, I think people don’t trust what they’ve been hearing about global warming and they’re hungry for a different angle.
This is the right way to go. It makes me want to get an I-phone.
Sadly for me I am NOT an early adopter. I do have a telephone without a magneto crank on it though; but it is stuck to the wall someplace else; where I ain’t; and it rings like a Telephone Company Telephone; instead of playing a lousy version of “Der Ring des Nibelungen.”
But good luck on your app; if it creates chaos in “Green” land or any repository of “climate experts” it must be good; we need all the chaos we can muster.
Great add for the IPCC app! LOL
I just remembered the sex poodle is on the Apple board. Will he want a copy?
Went to the climate progress link, an exercise in pig dressing?
Even a pig in a silk dress with lace and pearls, is still just a pig.
The problem with an app like this is that it needs such frequent updating.
For instance, on Aug. 9 it was revealed that a joint NOAA/MSU climate project recorded temperatures for parts of Lake Michigan (US) at 430 F and higher.
Average that into the database and you get a warming signal for sure.

I’d like to see someone create an evil twin for “Our Climate”. It could be called “Climate Science”. And it would consist of all the known untruths and already falsified predictions that Al Gore, the IPCC, ‘climate scientists’, official climate bodies, governments, NGOs, their PR flacks, and the MSM have provided us with over the last 35 years, along with links to the sources. It wouldn’t contain any of the true stuff (always assuming there is some), nor any not-yet-falsified material. There would be no commentary and no indication as to the current status of the material. Just a menu of topics and a search box. The app would need to be free (otherwise the creator might face fraud charges). The app could be jazzed up with the inclusion of the various corpora of emails that have become available in the last year or two — to give the user the flavour of what it is like to do ‘climate science’ and to provide extra insight into concepts like academic ethics, peer review and the scientific method.
How would ‘responsible climate scientists’, RealClimate, Guardian journalists et al. react to such an app? They could hardly say that it was full of [snip] since they themselves would have created 100% of the content.
In regards to “suggestion for improving the one liners” , I haven’t laughed that hard in awhile. Most of the responses boiled down to the very childish type of “no its not” “yes its is”.
What they really need is an app that plays a rimshot after they give their so called one liners.
