Monday Mirthiness

Josh last week came up with his own science kit as he was inspired by the chemistry set with no chemicals I posted on. Bishop Hill posted that original, but I thought we needed to see what is inside the box, and Josh happily obliged.

I give you the home Climate Science Kit for inquiring minds:

Some of you might like a article I just wrote called:
Just gotta get me some of that ‘Climate Waffle’
It follows right along with the theme Josh created with the whole ‘No science required’ concept.
Here is a small excerpt of my post:

It makes perfect sense why there is no transparency in data from the Met Office in East Anglia. It makes perfect sense why it has been nearly impossible to get skeptical scientific articles published to be peer-reviewed.
The believers of CAGW only have theories to suggest man is responsible for climate, admit it so in scientific papers and then make reference to current catastrophes as a result of CAGW, based on those ‘scientific’ papers.
Ya with me now?
The ‘alarmist’ can’t prove a damn thing. All they need to do is claim a catastrophe is man-made, because the theories haven’t yet been proven to be false.
I think the skeptical layman and scientist have established a clear difference between current observations of climate, in opposition to the IPCC claims, and clearly, the only battle left to fight is the ‘alarmists’ denial system.
As it might take even more facts to prove “Climate Change’ to be false, it will also take an army of therapists to help as well.

Enjoy !

Bull Sh*t makes for good substitute for modelling clay.

Presumably there’s one set of dice for skeptics and another set of dice for climatologists.
But the dice in the Climate Seance Board Game have seven spots – on every side.
Like Monopoly, but instead of passing [Go], every fiscal year your grant is increased by the number of times your teammates can “peer-review” your deeds.

Well “played.” Josh’s all-time best.
So, what’s the takeaway message that everyone should learn, when it comes to playing their game… No dice! 🙂

They say that in California, if you don’t like the weather, wait a few minutes and it will change.
I say that if you complain about the weather long enough, it will turn around and bite you. Also known as the Gore Effect, as we all know what’s on Al’s mind as well as his script.
I wonder if that Climate Science Kit contains a Gore Effect card?

When does it go on the market, I want three for presents.

I would like to recommend adding IPCC trivia cards which include the “get out of climate justice jail” card. Also, add CO2 values to the bubbles. Then, as you land on a bubble, you can add it’s CO2 content to your carbon score. Finally, phony carbon credit certificates, which are acquired by landing on certain CO2 sequestration bubbles, and traded amongst other players to help buy down your carbon score. The person who acquires enough carbon credits to finally hit carbon neutral (zero carbon points) wins!
==patent it!:-)
and Josh’s also.

A Photoshop bubble allowing you to create a flooded house or stranded polar bear and jump 3 bubbles forward would be appropriate.

Wow, I like this! I’d need an Etch-a-Sketch, to go along with it, to make important and meaningful looking graphs.
