Steve Milloy at JunkScience points out what is above the fold in the NYT today – FUD
Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt
Here’s his scan of the front page at right:
Readers may recall my post What 400 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere looks like where I presented a meme to help people understand that 400 PPM is just a number. A lot of interest was expressed on this thread about t-shirts.
You ask, I provide, in a choice of sizes, styles, and colors:
Order yours here on your favorite garment, mug, or bag here:

UPDATE: I get email showing me that one of the haters has come up with a t-shirt design. this is from “Sou” (no real name given).
She seems genuinely happy that in her world view that her children will die. How sick.

Let’s celebrate 8th of May
as the International CO2 Day
Regarding raising Fear, here is how to deal with it;

Is that how the Times normally prints “CO2”? In the headline, it looks like “C02” (C-zero-two).
Anthony, I’m not seeing any products for sale at this webpage:

People pay $ 2.50 for the NYT . . ? Can we say a world full of Forrest Gumps? Might make us mow the lawn more often but not much else. Will we see more Polar Bears swimming?
I love these magic numbers : the speed of sound, where aircraft reaching that number of miles per hour will immediately disintegrate, or during the early days of motoring, when a speed of 100 miles per hour would kill you (lack of oxygen). Proof that people are really stupid and/or gullible.
“…the most important heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere ” – poor old water vapour; always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
@Bob works just fine for me. Might be a browser issue, as it requires a modern browser with plugins enabled to visit.
“The level of the most important heat trapping gas in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide….” Why is carbon dioxide the “most important”, who decided that? Just more spin!
Thankyou , Thankyou, Thankyou for the T. One is for the UK, one is going to Oz. I’ve ordered a mug just to rub my village Greeny’s nose in it. The Sceptics, united, will never be defeated!
T-shirt link not working properly.
Problem is on your end. Try a different browser with plugins/flash/java enbaled
So is it widely distributed 😉

============================================
Arthur, I’ll see your 100mph and raise you 15mph.
“Thundering along at previously unimaginable speeds, early steam locomotives were a frightening prospect for their Victorian passengers. Before the opening of the first major railway line, the Liverpool & Manchester in 1830, there were fears it would be impossible to breathe while travelling at such a velocity, or that the passengers’ eyes would be damaged by having to adjust to the motion.”

But not stupid in the main. Probably gullible, the average Joe hasn’t sufficient knowledge or education to recognise the snake oil.
I will wear my t-shirt with pride – many thanks
w*rks just fine for me w/Firefox, once i told the script blocker it was ok to let them run on that page.
Remember remember the 8th of May, the carbon treason and plot.
I see no reason why 400 PPM should ever be forgot.
A CO2 level of 0.04% is next to nothing. CO2 has been twenty times higher in the geologic past, with no problem.
Linkie for t-shirts working fine on Fox,and IE7.And as for the clowns worried about 400ppm,lets cut them to 0.
@Alpheus
That’s diatomic (sic) cobalt
“I see no reason why 400 PPM should ever be forgot.”
I see no reason why one would ever bother remembering. Its meaningless and pointless.
403.17 on the other hand… !
Above the fear, uncertainty, doubt headline, and above the $2.50 price tag is the weather report calling for cooler temperatures, and confirming the lack of drought.
The climate fear media continue their propaganda campaign trying to push completely ineffective and unnecessary regulations down our throats to fulfill their fantasy visions of controlling fossil fuels while demanding the use of costly and unreliable renewables.
Climate alarmists are now desperate because of the clearly flawed performance of IPCC models which failed miserably in global temperature projections and grossly exaggerated increasing trends. Satellite and high altitude balloon data are well established over long periods and
have proven that water vapor in the atmosphere is not increasing contrary to climate alarmists claims with this outcome showing that IPCC models will project too high increases in global temperatures because positive feedback due to water vapor is not happening.
NOAA and NASA tide gauge and satellite data show no acceleration in global sea level rise again proving climate alarmists claims otherwise are wrong.
Neither tornadoes or land fall hurricanes have increasing trends and in fact the U.S. is experiencing some of the lowest numbers of tornadoes in history along with record long intervals since a major hurricane has reached our shores all of which are completely contrary to alarmists claims.
CO2 emissions in both the U.S. and Europe continue to decline with neither of these regions contributing any increases to global CO2 emissions which are completely dominated by the developing nations lead by China and India.
The European ETS cap and tax schemes are failing with economic challenges in this region likely controlling that no additional meddling will be allowed to try and rescue this contrived program.
Nothing is going the way of climate alarmists which is why the media has become increasingly desperate and shrill in trying to create new fronts in their phoney and contrived battle over climate alarmism.
“portending”; what a word.
No wonder its usage is limited.
Hate to waste a word like that, with overuse.
Off Topic
but can someone send me a link to a good graph showing the earth’s temperature has not risen in the last 15years

Its not the 400PPM of CO2 that I am afraid of…. I am terrified that the remainder of the atmospheric gases have now dropped down below 999,600 PPM.
I predict that when all the other gases, combined, drop to less that 999,580 PPM all sorts of terrible things will begin to be predicted to happen in the near future; and that unless/until we all pool our collective resources to stop it, the non CO2 portion of the atmospheric gasses will drop to 999,560 ppm.
