Dr. Richard North of the EU Referendum has few words for George Monbiot regarding his recent claim that cold snowy winters are the result of “global warming”.
North writes:
It is not that he does not have a case (even if it is not very good). What makes him so deservedly look the fool it that he, alongside the climate establishment, has spent the last decade or more trying to convince us that milder winters are a sure sign of global warming. Now, in the manner of Winston Smith, Moonbat seems to believe that he can rewrite history and we will not notice.
Reader, please give Dr. North a traffic surge, as his article is a well researched and well written skewering.

Why does anybody expect a Climate Scientist to forecast what the weather will be.
Climate Scientists state that they model climate not weather.
So they are always correct as nobody experiences climate, we just experience weather.
Monbiot seems the Soviet resident in The Guardian, something and its contrary is possible like in old Union.
I have to admire Mr. Monbiot for his breathtaking ability to maintain an air of utter certainty even when he’s contradicted himself completely (and carrying it off with a signature superciliousness).
These guys have panache even if they’re empty shells.
I believe the satirical online publication The Daily Mash have a T-shirt reading; “The Guardian. Wrong about everything. All the time.”
Calling Bagdad Bob of CAWG. Or is he Monty Pythons “Come back and fight you coward”? The joke is the words of the guillible will never go away, unless they can control the internet.
Telling us how little impact global averages have on local weather.
sense seeker == attention seeker == juvenile troll
Heh. I’m guessing Swedish has a term for temperatures of the rare variety?
Or maybe he was thinking of brief temper-airy-atures? 😉
As the (Cdn.) MacKenzie Brothers comedy duo liked to say, “Zoom in on me!” (Also, “Leave me some beers, hoser!”)
;p
oakbio;
get a life. It was “Bungle Jonnie”. That you didn’t get the Spooneristic humour is sad. Attributing the slur to him instead of yourself is much worse.
Uops. “Oakgeo” not “oakbio”. Neither make sense, IAC.
Oh, come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, Oh, come ye, oh, come ye, to Moonbatlemayhem.
My humble apologies for altering this song of the season – Merry Christmas everyone!

Actually oakgeo was correct. Dr. North did use the term Jungle bunnie in one of his posts.
Moonbat of course picked up on it as a racial slur as did oakgeo. However, here is where Peter North skewered, (or was that disembowelled), Monbiot…

It was in the Grauniad comments originally but did not survive long.

What must be understood by all is that these people are not actually wrong.
When someone says something that is wrong, knowing full well that it is wrong, then that isn’t same thing as being wrong. Rather it is what we call LYING.
The mistake we are making is in pretending that the left is actually acting in good faith. Giving credence to their arguments by trying to refute them is a waste of time really. While we are working hard to demolish one edifice of sophistry and lies, they are working hard to create the next one.
It is only when we STOP pretending that they are honest and start treating them like the vicious criminals that they are that this whole sordid business will end.
AGW is merely the latest in a long string of lies that the left has used to convince free people to sell themselves into slavery. Before the left start using lies about ecology they used lies about sociology, and before that economics, and those are just the most prominent and obvious ones. In truth these earlier lies are still very much in play, especially within segments of society that the left controls.
So what are we to do about this? Consider the source and go after the people responsible for this instead of being tricked into working to refute the endless series of lies they produce.
If the left says something it is either a) Untrue, or b) a small truth intended to help sell a much larger lie. Some people tell lies, leftists ARE lies.
