Clouded thinking
There seems to be a disturbance in the farce. Peter J. Simmons uses the WUWT Submit Story link (making it fair game to publish) to send this fine example of climate delusion in action, complete with “you people” and big oil claims.
Further down we have a death threat style email from Marc Morano he shared today. I’m sure David Appell will get right on it.
Peter J. Simmons writes:
Story body: You’re too busy for this to be a hobby. So it’s your job unless you are independently wealthy. Are you paid by oil companies to spread disinformation? If you live on the East Coast you may have cause to start wondering if your career choice was sensible.
But any way, the environment will catch up with you people, as every day brings more ‘extreme’ weather events, records for rainfall broken repeatedly [the north of England and Scotland just had a month’s rain in 24 hours, in June, one of many records broken] and extreme weather is becoming the norm around the world.
Rather than spending your life copying and pasting this garbage [do you actually create any of it?] you would be advised to step outside occasionally into the real world and experience what is happening to the climate in real time, in reality, you know, on your skin. So much effort, energy and activity to deny reality, and your epitaph will be ‘He got it wrong’.
‘It don’t take a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows’.
Short summary: http://planetark.org/wen/65757
A couple of points.
1. I do get outside, for example- the head photo in this post is of clouds taken by me last night near my home, I found the mix of lower level cumulus constrained by the LCL juxtaposed with the higher patterned cirrus interesting.
2. I don’t get any funding from big oil, small oil, or coal companies or energy companies of any kind. Yes I’m busy, yes I write a lot of my own material, combined with guest posts and press releases. Your assertions are just talking points fabricated by the haters with no basis. If I was funded by “big oil” or independently wealthy, would I need to do things like this (yes, another outside excursion)?
3. As for my epitaph, I’ve already written it into my will to be inscribed on my tombstone, you’ll just have to wait.
Here’s Marc Morano’s hate mail today, equally entertaining. He writes:
I wonder if Australian media would be interested in hate/threatening mail i recieved today. Abc News? I would send a taunting email back, but it is most likely fake email return address.

I will have a nice long drive up to DC and have a very short and unpleasant conversation with your ass if you don”t stop harrassing scientists.

Left-wing warmist Roger Ebert: “Global Warming Deniers shouting their denials through snorkels”

1). As the phenomenon of the AGW Panic fades from the public concern, we’re seeing the effects of the more thoughtful, empirically-minded AGW proponents stepping back from the public debate. Back when everything they were shown led to their continuing belief that AGW posed a threat, they could participate in forums such as blogs with fervor and righteousness.
But now, as the other view’s evidence comes to light in their own knowledge-sources (i.e., mainstream media), they’re realizing that it isn’t settled, that they’ve possibly been following frauds and cheats, and that they’ve maybe been duped.
As those good-faith believers drop out, there will be more and more room for the sort of besotted soccer-fan model of AGW commenters that seem to be more prevalent than they were a year ago. As they get more vicious and less informed, we can only take comfort in the fact that they signal the death-throes of the scam.
2). I was filing my canvas bathtub last night, and the right side was full while the left side had only a few inches of water! I thought to myself, “I finally understand how people can claim that the ocean is rising faster in Florida than in New York!” Then my wife came out, told me to lay off the beer, and asked why I had set the tub up on a hill. My next thought was “Okay, NOW I understand the basis of the AGW movement. It’s beer.”
LOLing my arse off at Peter’s entry. Every delusional and off-base lack-of-credible-evidence talking point rolled into one entry in the fewest words I’ve ever seen. Truly remarkable. Well done…
Anthony, I am very disappointed that you did not include me in your list of evil money providers. I am going over to the tip jar to register my complaint.
If Mr. Morano is interested in tracing the source of the atrocious email he received, there is a poster at http://phys.org/ who often uses similar euphemisms [From: Fuk Yu fuckyou@fucktard.com] that the anonymous sender used. Not saying it is the same person but similar – hate to use the word – “style”, since that implies some class.
Even ‘those people’ are beginning to realize their junk science is done. The rate of panic will be ‘unprecedented’. Maybe they can instead get funding to make a hockey stick graph of that….
I really don’t get it. Everytime I see arguments relating to climate matters from those concerned about the environment, they keep blurting out statements that I literally /facepalm to. I don’t understand how people can be that concerned about envrironmental issues while at the same time being so clueless about even the very basics of what they are talking about.
The comment under his tweet about overweight is a hoot! LOL!!
Ebert has watched to many movies and his mind is in a fantasy.
Mr. Ebert, “The Day After Tomorrow” isn’t about anything in the real world. Just thought I’d tell you.
“….‘extreme’ weather events, records for rainfall broken repeatedly [the north of England and Scotland just had a month’s rain in 24 hours, in June, one of many records broken]….”
I really have to admire the gullibility shown here: Not too long ago the whole story was about droughts, dustbowls, and starvation….. now they’ve seamlessly encompassed ‘pretty much anything else the weather might do’.
Ironically enough, the English/Scottish rainfall extreme follows a very strong forecast of ‘climate change induced drought’.
I’m quite an avid reader of Roger Ebert’s reviews. It’s sad he’s given in to rhetoric and myths.
a few years ago I participated in a survey of some land surrounding a lake of about two miles in length. The surveyor determined that it had been a dead calm for two days so he used the surface of the lake as an elevation marker to transfer a measured elevation at the north end of the lake to the south end, where he placed a mark on a telephone pole to show a point five feet higher than the water surface and therefore equivalent to the elevation at the north end, also five feet off the water. I will have to call him to let him know that he was mistaken about the surface of the lake making a level surface for surveying purposes.

Yep heavy rain is unprecedented in Europe all right!
Might try reading some history !

Good thing that we have movie critics with climate cop alter egos like Roger Ebert to let us know about the scary catastrophic sea level rise on the east coast or nobody would have noticed it.
I’m no climate scientist, but wouldn’t the oceans tend to be self leveling given their fluidity and all… just sayin’
Anthony, I just wanted to let you know that the check is in the mail….
The irony is these days Big Oil is also Big Green (well, at least one of several such hogs at that particular trough). So there is no way Big Oil gonna have anything to do with us knuckle draggers.
What is about these “sea level rises”? Why do they have to pick on the East Coast? Can’t they do their rising over in Ireland or Greenland or the French Riviera? If there’s one thing I hate, it’s a sea level rise that discriminates. I’m just astonished at how Mother Nature manages to confine its sea level rises to the Eastern Seaboard. King Neptune at work, no doubt.
Just wait till after the November elections to see a whirl of crazy like never before.
I will have a nice long drive up to DC…

Two thoughts: Big Oil used to send me nice checks once a quarter. Then I sold the stock, and the money train stopped.
Britain will soon see a transition from the ruling of the Queen to the eventual ruling of a King. I ponder that event and what it will mean to the suppressed debate and settled science. I look forward to comments by those more involved being a distant Yank many generations removed.
It is so much fun to screw with the warmists. They seem to be coming unglued.
And some of that is from Big Oil.

Sceptics are outgunned and outspent but are holding ground and gaining realists every day.
Now that the ID-10-T climate model is beginning to use the fact of beach erosion as a proof of sea level rise, the brainwashed Dailycosians, Emessenbeecesians, Guardianyookayseans, Huffposians and Sorosians are dutifully and sycophantically outraged.
OK. Now read this:
What do you have to say about this????? And they call us the deniers. Stop being so naive and believing everything you are being told by these scam artists.
