subject: The first Nobel and other Christmas greetings
to: IPCC-group
Seasons greetings to you all, my fellow Nobel Laureates (even if we did not get to go to
Oslo).
I just want to wish you and your families all the best for the holiday season, and Merry
Christmas to those of you who celebrate that festival. As part of IPCC we have achieved
something to be proud of. Thankyou for being a part of it with me.
At NCAR at the Christmas party a group made up a song that mentions by name all the NCAR
LAs in AR4. The song is below. You may appreciate it. (or not).
All the best for 2008.
Kevin
Sung to tune of The first Noel
Our First Nobel
Our First Nobel, for the IPCC,
Goes to Beth, Bette, Bill, Jerry, Kathy and Guy.
Kevin, Linda, Paty, Re-to and so many more,
And we’re sharing the honor with Mister Al Gore.
Nobel, Nobel, a story to tell,
We hope our coworkers’ egos don’t swell.
The First Working Group said to sound the alarm,
Rising CO2 levels are causing great harm.
Temperatures and greenhouse gas are racing up neck and neck,
Soon the whole Earth will be hotter than heck.
Nobel, Nobel, the planet’s unwell,
This is the future the models foretell.
The Second Working Group said that change is assured,
>From the melting of glaciers to migration of birds.
>From loss of land and crops to habitats,
How can they make it much clearer than that?
Nobel, Nobel, the oceans swell,
Polar bears search for new places to dwell.
We must work to mitigate, tells us Working Group Three,
Change from fossil consumption to clean energy.
If we all do our share in reversing the trend,
Our children might have a clean Earth in the end.
Nobel, Nobel, sound the warning bell,
Let’s make a future where all can live well.
Nobel, Nobel, we are stars for a day,
Can an Oscar be far away?

Don’t quit your day job Kevin… oh wait, please do!
the words anal and retentive spring readily to mind……….
So he failed to choose a correct career?
Omg that’s horrifying….
Suddenly… I feel a lot better about those filk songs I wrote back in my SCA days.
(Did everyone else’s blog hits go through the roof when the FOIA file released? Sheesh, if I’m getting the traffic I’m seeing, the WUWT WordPress servers must be about ready to melt down.
Oh. Wait. That’s probably just the global warming.)
OMG. Someone mentioned earlier that in themselves these emails have nothing ‘incriminating’ per se. I would tend to disagree; gloating amongst the high-and-mighty is a sure sign of there being some hanky-panky on the side. Hard to prove? Yup. But there is a slip-up implicit in all of this, and sooner or later it crumbles into plain sight. The above corny display is revealing in its lack of depth and wit. You see what the “issues” are, in plain sight. It’s all showmanship, no substance. Polar Bears??? Give me a break, Trenberth.
Amateur. This was just one of many of my submissions last year. Dated but still funny.
Let It Snow
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But our fraud is so delightful,
So off to Cancun we’ll go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
We have no plans for stopping,
And your cash we’ll soon be copping;
The curly lights really blow,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we’ve given you a good fright,
About some drought or a storm;
And if we get our way you might,
Not be able to keep yourself warm.
The fraud is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we’re all still lying,
But as long as we’re in Mexico.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
What a sick dude. And no talent leach.
Dear Kev as his usual partial self, never managing to mention it was no science award, but the Nobel Peace Prize.
Mr Kenneth Trenberth
Is that an RC accordian player in your pocket…OR are you just happy to see me?
Going to my little hideaway now. Hope I don’t spontaneously combust.
Nice one, Kevin!
See you in Moorea! Or Athens, or Oslo, or wherever. These people go to more exotic places than Paris Hilton.
Just the other day I said the way this lot give themselves prizes, Kevin’s bound to get the Grammy.
Expect this to get a LOT of airplay on NPR.

1- Am I missing a joke about some unrelated Kenneth (as opposed to Kevin) or is it just a typo in your title?
2- Where is the bit about religion that we’re supposed to object to?
Oh Trenberth, Oh Trenberth, how silly can you be.
Wow. Are all of the newly released emails this incriminating? The above email surely is the final nail in the CCAGW. Wishing people all the best and seasons greetings, if this is not the work of communists, what is?
Wanker!
Barf!!
Kenneth?
Kenneth is the hurricane.
Ohhhh…that is SO special … I’m tearing up as I write this [sniff]…
(Hold it, didn’t Al Gore get half of the 2007 Nobel NOT-Physics Prize loot??? Bwahhhahahahahaaa……………..).
“As part of IPCC we have achieved something to be proud of.”
What exactly did they achieve?
Andrew
Suddenly I have a new appreciation for the dogs barking “Jingle Bells”.
The first Nobel,
Won by I P C C
Was a death-knell to science / a real travesty
The data stays locked
In the barn or the shed,
So they say, we can’t tell, was it all in their head?
Nobel, Nobel,
Nobel, Nobel,
What caused that tree in the Yamal to swell?
On beaches where they
Went to meetings to see
What the land looks like / ‘fore it’s swallowed by the sea
The gave us plans
that could save us poor fools,
If we’d go back to nature and stop using tools
Model, model,
Model, Model, What does our far future hold, can you tell?
Who needs good temps,
Or records kept long
We have our Nobel so “our cause” can’t be wrong
If any dare
to question our work
Then we’ll sick Gavin on him
And call him a jerk,
Models, models
models, models
Who knew that oracular work paid so well?
I’m not quitting my day job either. The iron I help make makes the world a better place.
