Nup! Didn’t do anything for me. I think I’ll stick with the original! :-O
The difference between a green Santa and a red Santa is the guy in green takes; the guy in red gives.
CAGW will prove to be as fictitious as the Mayan prognosticators.
Merry Christmas everybody!
Thanks for the good laugh! Now I understand why climatologists prefer to stay in house and study models instead of going out in the cold and get real data!
Merry Christmas!
Priceless! Thanks Anthony and thanks for keeping up the good fight.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Again, Anthony ; your numbers are right on!
Thanks Anthony. After being very reluctantly dragged around today doing the xmas shopping, that laugh was sorely needed. Nollaig shona agus athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh. Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you all.
Merry Christmas everyone,
REP especially to the family of Uncle REP.
Uncle REP will be on our minds this holiday season.
He’s probably smiling and chuckling about this, looking down from up there.
You have made my Christmas . . . Wonderful take on events.
Holly and ivy hanging up
And something wet in every cup.
…Five oooold tree rings……Gasp!
Have you ANY idea how difficult it is to mop up the mouthful of Jack Daniels i just sprayed across my keyboard?
It`s been a grand year.Thanks to you and all your contributors for making the argument that so few would dare,and making SUCH an effective fist of it.(With a few well earned chuckles along the way)
Merry Christmas!!
I suspect ‘da Mann’ may be one of only a few folks who didn’t get a chuckle from this post … Thanks for giving us something to chuckle about during this ‘joyous’ season …
Thank You! Humor is always good for the soul.
A Mayan shaman, Harold Camping and Michael Mann walk into a bar. The bartender recognized them, and immediately started shouting “NO NO NO, GET OUT, WE DON’T SERVE YOUR KIND IN HERE!”
Michael Mann indignantly looked at the other two, realized who they were, understood the connection the bartender had made, and started protesting that he has nothing in common with unscientific doomsday kooks, saying “I never said the world WOULD end. I said it COULD end.”
The bartender thought about this for a moment, then said, “You’re right. You never did say when. Mann, get out, or I call the cops. But the other two can stay, and their first drink is on the house.”
Michael Mann, now livid, wailed “but they’re just crazy. I have science on my side. I have SKILL!”
The bartender said, “well, you may have skill, but at least they had the cajones to pick an exact date.”
Merry Christmas to Anthony, and all WUWT readers and contributors. Thank you for all you do.
Love it, thanks. Next ICCC you must all make a video. Perhaps the Minnesotans for Global Warming can add their panache too.
Happy, healthy, holidays y’all!
You guys are costing me more than UK Green Energy taxes. Here’s $25 into Josh’s Xmas sock!
10 Lord Moncktons? That really is wonderfully perverse! 🙂
Thankyou and Merry Christmas!
Correction: It was 20 gbp but, as I refuse to pay the BBC £140 pa by not watching live TV for the last 1000 days, I have a small stock of savings available!
It’s not quite Big-Oil or other Fossil-fuelled investment but, at least, it’s given honestly as a small ‘thank-you’ to those tiddlers who provide entertainment well above their weight!
Thank you Josh, Anthony, Andrew and others for attempting the impossible, to beat the big,bad guys, and keep us happy AND honest.
Excellent. The team and their aplogists and acolytes won’t like it though. Very like their “science’, a sense of humour isn’t their strong point…
I like that proposed
“Nine models tripping …”
But also:
“Ten Lords O’ Monckton” …..
A Christmas present from my place. For those glad to see the end of doom

Excellent! I think Minnesotans For Global Warming could make use of that…

My thoughts exactly
Merry Christmas everyone and wishes for a very good New Year.

….. the warmists’ serenity prayer:
God grant me the BIAS to reject the facts I hate, the BLINDNESS to embrace the ones I love and the BAD MANNERS to address those who try to show me the difference.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Isn’t that
God grant me the BIAS to reject the facts I hate, the BLINDNESS to embrace the ones I love and the BAD MANNERS to
addresscurse those who try to show me the difference.Yep that’s Climate Alarmism. Nothing but a punch line now. Merry Christmas all!
And once again, Anthony and Josh take us out of the old year on a high note. Well done, and Merry Christmas to everyone.
16 years a-warming…
