I’ll drink to that.
cheers!

Back to the Irish Whiskey then…..

p.s. That should be spelt ‘PRESSH CON FRENCH’!

At least winegate had a friendly spin-off, the enjoyment of a glass of red wine with spouse, family or friends.
Whereas climategate, in my opinion, is just a bunch of nasty socialists and snake-oil salesmen scaring the bejesus out of the sheep and school children. To deny a generation hope of a better life for their children must be somwhere in the the recipe for anarchy.

You beer deniers, you!

Btw..after State Penn, it’s now Conn U…

Seems like it was about 8 minutes to midnight when I was a kid in the ’50’s. Bottoms up!

“Whereas climategate, in my opinion, is just a bunch of nasty socialists and snake-oil salesmen scaring the bejesus out of the sheep and school children. To deny a generation hope of a better life for their children must be somwhere in the the recipe for anarchy.”
Worse. I fear it’s more along the lines of part of the recipe for Statism. Every good despot needs a boogeyman to justify the control. It’s for your own good! Hell, some folks suggested trying “climate deniers” for crimes against humanity: Heretic!

Whilst helping Donna Laframboise with her IPCC Citizens Audit, I decided to check the IPCC AR4 for anything that might BENEFIT from a warming world.
The only thing I could find was WINE. Higher alcohol content and higher quality in most regions studied.
Here is an excerpt from AR4 WG2 Chp1 Box 1.2 page 105

In Alsace, France, the number of days with a mean daily temperature above 10°C (favourable for vine activity) has increased from 170 around 1970 to 210 at the end of the 20th century (Duchêne and Schneider, 2005). An increase associated with a lower year-to-year variability in the last 15 years of the heliothermal index of Huglin (Seguin et al., 2004) has been observed for all the wine-producing areas of France, documenting favourable conditions for wine, in terms of both quality and stability.
Similar trends in the average growing-season temperatures (April-October for the Northern Hemisphere) have been observed at the main sites of viticultural production in Europe (Jones, 2005). The same tendencies have also been found in the California, Oregon and Washington vineyards of the USA (Nemani et al., 2001; Jones, 2005).
The consequences of warming are already detectable in wine quality, as shown by Duchêne and Schneider (2005), with a gradual increase in the potential alcohol levels at harvest for Riesling in Alsace of nearly 2% volume in the last 30 years. On a worldwide scale, for 25 of the 30 analysed regions, increasing trends of vintage ratings (average rise of 13.3 points on a 100-point scale for every 1°C warmer during the growing season), with lower vintage-to-vintage variation, has been
established (Jones, 2005).

I wonder how that snuck into the AR4?
I’m guessing we’ll all drink to that.
