A bit of an anniversary cartoon as it was a year ago this month that The Tree Hut Gang (Skeptical Science) were exposed in Opengate. Now they have branched out into Spamvertizing (H/t Lucia) with Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project. Read about on BH here, Lucia’s here and WUWT here.
Let’s hope they keep up this kind of tactic, it is so entertaining.
Let the wookie win.
“Spamvertizing”
That’s what a Ron Paul swarm used to be !!!
Looks like one can make a lot of hockey sticks out of that branch of sienz.

Glad with Obama 2.0 so far?
They belong much farther out on that limb.
All that astroturf will certainly put a stop to global worming ! 😉
What’s in the red box?
So, who did spam the nomination process at the bloodies?
Did these children leave voluntarily?
Who created disposable email addresses for the purpose?
If past and present behaviour are any guide, these are the boys.
If they are using spambots to post on blogs, then google wants to know about it.

So if you have a blog that has been affected by spam … complain to google.
In addition to the above, if you copy the IP you can report it to spambot blacklists here

Hump day hilarity gets better as the day moves on:

Global Warming Congressional hearing postponed due to snow…
AlGore effect…

Man Bearpig: Since Gore is golden for Google I doubt that they (google) want to hear any complaints about him (Gore).
Bloodies=Bloggies, Auto spell check is my friend.
I have it on good authority (i.e. i made it up) that the red lunch box contains three drink boxes, kool-aid made from Ohio ground water, bovine growth hormone milk, and soya milk from roundup ready soybeans. Also there are three sandwiches; H1N1 chicken from Cambodia, mystery nitrated meat from the UK, and GM pulled pork from Texas, with hospital grade Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae on lettuce as well as aluminum resistant tomatoes. All have a ‘secret’ sauce that Nestle says is goody 4 u. More please…
More humour…

Bwahahahahahaha. I wonder if they realize that is a perfect example to use for all the FAILED cAGW(or whatever they are calling it today) predictions ever made? Nah. Probably not. Hard to find reality at 33k feet jetting with a martini to your next climat conference.
I think we now know why John Cook is concerned about unfair voting in the bloggies. He’s set up spamming systems and so knows how it is done!
Josh,
Now you’ve offended the Jeddi Knights with that use of Wookie.
With that you are now on the dark side of the farce.
Be careful.
John
Justthinkin…re that list…Certainly counts as satire in my book, but I think they are serious.
I have a really nice sharp saw here.
The red box contains the boy’s lunch. It’s their favourite snack, Spam sandwiches & Koolade 😉

I just wanted to ditto that. (So hillarious and so true)
Remember way back when it was the Bad Astronomer versus Steve Mac ? They cheated the system then. Can’t think of a reason they couldn’t do it now.

Perhaps THAT is the Nature of Things.

Leaving the door open to your scheming can make it obvious too.

Suzuki/CBC/Liberals both in Ontario and federally since Suzuki is openly discussing his support for Joyce Murray. Disgusting to see the boss of a public, taxpayer funded company lie and defend the indefensible.
The highly objective (usual voting buttons for completeness, objectivity etc missing) wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeptical_Science says that John Cook trained as a solar physicist. Out of curiosity may I ask if he ever qualified?
@oldfossil
Of himself Cook states on SkS
seems to leave it open.
Wiki says
He’s certainly a zealous advocate on cAGW.
Thanks countryguardian! Cool page.
Spammers all!
Facts at 50 paces!
Words are all they have – to neo-Mrxists/Post-Modernists words make reality.
(Of course they don’t live their daily lives that way, they don’t say “that’s not a truck coming down the street, since I want to cross it now”.
Certainly is a need for succinct
Perhaps some here: http://www.friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/DOHA_FoS_Position_Paper.pdf
but the blame-humans-for-nature crowd will claim their “facts” are just as valid, since the human mind cannot determine true reality.
