Climate control – lather, rinse, repeat

We always talk about and are lectured to about how “weather is not climate”. Of course that’s a flexible meme, because now when the weather turns hot or bad, climate is to blame.

I had to go to Walmart today to pick up something, and as I walked down the aisles looking for things, this jumped out at me. Unfortunately, it was so ridiculous, it made me laugh out loud, and I got stares. So, I’m sharing this humor with you.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before some enterprising company did this.

Gotta love that “defend your hair against bad weather” line.  Now even when CO2 or weather modification driven hordes of tornadoes descend upon us in retaliation for our climate sins, we can avoid bad hair days.

Of course, shampoo only goes so far. They need “climate control body spray” to really be effective. /sarc

I think that shampoo needs to be followed up by a wind turbine blow-dry.

Climate Control shampoo? There is finally something that’ll keep my thick mane from looking like I’ve been out in a hurricane?
Oh wait, my name is not Mann, Hansen, Romm or Cook. I’ll have to wait for the Weather Control shampoo since I know the difference!
(Plus I have far more working scalp follicles than all four together, so I have to get the right one!)

“… slogan competition…” [Jon at 2:49PM, 5/18/13]
Okay! How about: “ 97% of Climate Scientists Agree… “ LOL.
[sorry to all the other 500 WUWT posters who will think of that one, too]

@Gunga Din, maybe it’s an oldy but I had never heard it and it is definitely a goody. LOL. Yeah, no nasty CHEMICALS.

Climatology (like ANY cult) is all about: CONTROL (and “manageability”)
Thanks for sharing, A–th–y.

Hey, Lawrence Jenkins, clever. (just wanted you to realize someone enjoyed your wit — can’t comment on ALL the witty posts, though, so I’ll end with yours)

A chemist I worked with once who had worked for a shampoo maker described to me the hilarious marketing-driven process by which new shampoos are developed. How well the shampoo worked or what it was really good for was almost irrelevant.

I’ll take it if it also protects the rainforest.

And there’s the classic advertisement of them running towards each other through the foam on the beach – while the seas are about to inundate us.
Is the second wash and rinse ‘greenwashing?”

Over on BusinessGreen, one of the side panels carries this link;

Cut your energy bills and carbon footprint with the world’s greenest hand-dryer
This exclusive whitepaper explains how brushless motor technology differs from conventional brushed motors to deliver huge energy efficiency savings, longer life, and increased reliability.

Saving on your electricity bill is fine but what difference is it going to make to the #x of nuclear bombs sitting under the oceans or whatever the ‘scare de jour’ is from the warmist hymn book for May.

What’s wrong with some enterprising capitalist trying to make a few bucks off the eco-nuts?

Just curious, how much does it cost?
————————————————————————————————————————
According to Walmart.com, $3.48/32 oz.
They also sell the conditioner, finishing spray and mousse. The mousse is not well reviewed because people seem to have a hard time getting it out of the can.

Nothing, if the eco-nuts would only spend their own money. But they like to community organize everyone into paying their fair share, plus half of their own share.
I can imagine the campaign speeches in five years if this stuff becomes trendy:

It is a right of poor people everywhere in this great country, that they too can have good looking manageable hair.
It is the duty of government to tax the evil energy companies who have brought this climate change down upon our tousled heads, to force them to provide this remedy to those they have placed in need.
I have a dream, that all our children shall have beautiful hair, of all colors, no matter their color.
This is America, our country, we are demanding the hair that is rightfully ours, granted us by the Unrevealed Deity and the Founding Parental Units of our great land!

Don’t forget the accompanying conditioner and a wide toothed comb for full effect …

The next wave of climate change inspired toiletries and clothes will soon hit stores near you. Climate controlled outer wear. Climate controlled underwear. Coats rated for Extreme Weird Weather just like my Jeep is “Trail Rated”. We are in for some hilarious stuff folks!!!!

It is the insidiousness, that causes hackles to raise.
Is there a shampoo for that ?

Maybe the formulation of this Climate Control Shampoo will effectively cleanse the AGW propaganda from the heads of those who use it.
One can only hope.

I’m waiting for the reintroduction of environmentally friendly lightbulbs – the real ones, without mercury vapour, so that you don’t have to evacuate children and pregnant women if one breaks.

Michael Mann made a deal with the… spiritual world. He traded his hair for brains. Folks here think that’s a raw deal. So he possibly could get arrested for mooning if he sticks his head out the window, that’d be about it. So smart, nothing sticks, way too slippery.

I haven’t laughed that hard in days. Thanks, Mr. W..

I note the Scampoo also covers climate protection UV rays, static, humidity and I can’t read the end one – maybe its made of CO2 or keeps out the missing heat. Oh boy! CAGW wailers have got it coming. I suspect that soon Mikey, Jimmy, Kevvy, and friends will be getting calls for endorsements.
