A celebration, some fireworks, in the background would be a nice touch.

They get 72 climate virgins, so they’re laughing.

Don’t doubt for a minute that the Frankensteins who built this monster will try to revivify it as long as they have any power at all.

If only …
It’s more like news of its death have been greatly exaggerated; bureaucracies never die, they just mutate into more deadly forms.

What is astonishing to me is that the MSM are taking this report so seriously; they actually are making headlines from it. Meanwhile, I see this report as entirely expected, no surprizes and offering a get-out clause to the IPCC. Go figure… and let the momentum fall where it may

Well, maybe now skeptics will focus on the EPA.
Through the EPA’s greenhouse gas regulations the undead IPCC lives on. EPA regulations to limit GHG emissions are on the books and have the force of law unless reversed by the courts or legislatively preempted by a law that Congress passes and Obama will actually sign (or have his veto overridden).
The EPA’s Endangerment Finding is a target rich environment – it relies primarily and extensively on the IPCC.

Boy have you got that right. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
The rest of the quote is
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship”
I figure a government collapses when the number of bureaucrats and the number of laws completely strangles the wealth producers in red tape and taxes.

I love Matt Ridley’s Times comment piece which inspired Josh. Worth a thread here IMO. I also love the Express headlines splashed right across the newspaper
CLIMATE CHANGE LIES EXPOSED
And I’m rotfl seeing Grauniad trying to hush-up with a surprise front-page article saying climate skeptic Bjorn Lomborg now advocates spending money on reducing global warming.

They’re grieving because their gravy train is being derailed…
…because they know Mann’s hokey stick is dead. R.I.P.
The guy on the right better hope he can sell a lot of bodice-ripper novels, because he’s gonna be as unemployed as his porky pal when the truth gets out.

Only if there’s salt in it’s mouth, a stake in it’s heart, chains wrapped around it, and for good measure, it’s head chopped off and the brain destroyed.

Is this what railroad-Pachauri would call “The End of the Line”?

Having found this site this last spring, I am curious, it seems that the tide is turning on CAGW, how long has this trend been apparent?
Not that I underestimate the enormity of the facade that is CAGW, it has a great deal of momentum.

Well, after the victory of the Democrats in 2008, I predicted that limiting CO2 would fade as an issue for the Democrats and their supportive media. It was only a political tool to undermine the Republicans.
It worked. However, it will be as painful for the Democrats to control CO2 as the Republicans. So, ditch it.
The Copenhagen farce quickly followed. The MSM is looking for a graceful exit. Their readers may be so ignorant they may find one.
Expect a few efforts to raise taxes or increase Federal regulatory power, and then, some other issue will be created. Who knows, they may subsitute “climate change” for global warming and continue right on as before. They are already doing that in some writing.

Josh needs to make the next one showing Ocean Acidification as a new born.

To paraphrase Mark Twain : I won’t attend the funeral , but I will write a letter of approval . However , the reports of my death have been greatly exagerated may well be the case .

Does that grave site and head stone meet EPA regulations? I bet they’ll go after the dead…probably already are….
