Sung to “The Boxer”
Now I am just a poor Mann
Though my story’s seldom told
and I massacre my data
with lots of urban heat isles and some tree rings.
More than this
I only use the nice data and disregard the rest
Dee dee dee dee dah dee dah deed dee.
While snowed indoors one midsummer I went looking for a grant
but I got no offers.
Just come on from some dodgy source who knew me.
I do declare.
I was feeling somewhat poor so I took it then and there
deed dee dee………
In the limelight stands the prophet
feeling somewhat jaded
by some skeptics
who have asked him, some highly awkward questions
which distress him, and cut him, till cries out
In his anger and his shame
I will sue you! I will sue you! but the truth it still remains
Lah lah lah etc etc.
The mistake the warmists made is to concoct a scheme that is recognizable by a majority of people as being a scam. Most people have had some contact with science in school and know enough to smell a rat when it is presented to them.
They should have chosen a more arcane discipline such as economics/finance. Not many people know enough about it to recognize when they are being scammed and are just greedy enough to swallow the snake-oil they are enticed with, hook, line and CDO.
This song now runs in my head. Great post!
I’ve never been enthusiastic about “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”
It is just so redundant.
Davidmhoffer:
We the kings of climate are,
Raising the price, of running your car…
We desire prices higher,
Reaching to yonder star.
Carbon trades to offer have I,
Putting a cap on what you can buy,
Tax extensive, gas expensive,
Cutting your fuel supply.
Turbine blades that fly in the wind,
Easing guilt for those who have sinned.
Mann’s ablation for population,
‘Til human ranks have thinned.
OK, somebody else’s turn. I gotta get some sleep.
Much welcome merriment! I’m going to add a link to this post in my own little anthology, mostly not so seasonal, which I have been harvesting from the Bishop Hill blog (http://climatelessons.blogspot.com/p/poetry-on-bishop-hill-christmas-2011.html).
Thanks for posting it.
I did this late at night.
Change:
Ten flawed investatagions,
To:
Ten flawed investigations,
Change the last line:
And a partridge in a pear tree!
To:
And A whole big money laundering scheme.
tallbloke;
Shame on you! Making “climate” rhyme with “primate”. Now they’re playing sing-song ping-pong in my head …
“On the tenth day of Climategate, The UN sent to me, Ten flawed investatagions…”
Rajendra Pachauri is the head of TERI (Tata Energy Research Institute), so an “investatagion” may be perfectly in order.
Mike McMillan says: “I’ve never been enthusiastic about “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”
It is just so redundant.”
Not only that, it’s very repetitive.
Consider a slight edit to the final line: “And A whole big money laundering scheme”
Works well, if you simplify the line by dropping the word “whole.”
“And a Big Money Laundering Scheme.”

As a Finn I am naturally most interested of the credibility of our own scientists.
A scientist called Tim Carter seems to be a good name to use when searching gold nuggets from those e-mails.5233.txt and 7361.txt for example.
crosspatch….I need a joke…
“Hey can you pull a hockey stick out of that hat?”
“I’m a magician, not a climatologist!”
