Once upon a time, we were constantly lectured that “weather is not climate”.
Now that climate change just isn’t scary enough (and not panning out) we are told daily by such luminary activists such as Brad Johnson of “Forecast the Facts” (a paid political group that harrasses TV weathercasters, and pickets Google to make them cry uncle on climate) that all weather is in fact climate, because the weather is now “poisoned” with CO2.
This is what happens when the weather gets poisoned. It jumps the shark. You’ve been warned.
Supposedly there were cameo appearances by Supermandia and the Mann of Steel who swoop in to save the day, but that was left on the cutting room floor because screening audiences didn’t find that subplot credible.
You can watch it tonight at 9PM/8Central on the SyFy channel
Personally, I blame Trenberth’s missing heat going into the ocean.

Oh no, I forgot the loaded dice batshit. Sorry. 🙁
I’m constantly amazed at the wonderful things I find here. “Swamp Volcano” is now downloaded and ready for watching. 😉
Like Robert of Ottawa I read the historical texts and know what the climate (weather) was like for the last 2,000 years or so. Why are there no historians/archaeologists dealing with paleoclimate in the IPCC?
SYFY just makes some folks happy!
I can hear the ‘Jaws’ theme morfing into ‘we’re off to see the wizard’ in my head now..
Dur duh, dur duh…d’ de de de d’ de dar….
This poisoned weather reminds me of Al Gore declaring co2 a toxin. Yet he did not mind preparing and selling tobacco. Yet he did not mind pocketing tobacco political funding while his sister was dying of tobacco induced lung caner. Yet he did not mind taking share dividends from the oil company Occidental Petroleum while talking about environmental care. Yet he did not mind buying a second very large home with SIX fireplaces. Yet he did not mind flying on his book promotion tour. Yet he did not mind a very ‘toxic’ massage. Yet he did not mind selling his ‘Current TV’ company to oil funded Al Jazeera and pocketing millions earlier this year. Yet he did not mind…………………………………………
What does Al Gore mind about??? Is Al Gore in fact a hypocrite??? Answers on a postcard.

Sharks are the new tomatoes

Nah, nothing can top The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
“I believe that is the dumbest premise for a disaster movie of all time.”
Maybe the dumbest premise up till now, Bob, but not for all time.
I have great faith that Hollyweird can get even dumber.
Just when we think they can’t go any lower, they call in their fleet of backhoes.
This is one of those strange eras in TV that no-one will look back upon fondly. The Sci-Fi channel is pretty much a disaster ever since they put that kook John Edward on the air around a decade ago, and when they decided to produce their own stable of “B” movies rather than continue the airing of classics. This was the promise of the Sci-Fi channel, it is what led many to sign petitions and pressure the cable companies to add the channel back in the early 1990’s. Naturally they broke their promise to the people that demanded them in the first place. John Edward is long gone now, but replaced with countless fake ghostbuster-type shows and wall-to-wall grade “B” garbage that are mash-up names like “Gorillasaurus” ( just made that up! ). Truly they start with a name and then proceed to produce a show from that. For some real irony you can also catch wrestling on the Sci-Fi channel as well. That’s gonna be hard to top.
Pretty much The Weather Channel, National Geographic and Sci-Fi Channel ( aka SyFy or SuckFi ) are interchangeable when they run disaster type programming. The one difference is that on Sci-Fi the programs are labeled “fiction”, but on NatGeo and The Weather Channel they leave that label off for some reason.
This is the funniest thread I’ve ever seen on WUWT, or maybe anywhere—thanks to the sharks, the pirañas, and the killer tomatoes!

Good grief people… Not everything needs to be looked at through a political prism… SyFy has a history of airing really preposterous movies… D movies at that. They usually are humor-comedies. Are they really any more preposterous than Batman, Supernan, or Startrek?

I can’t quite see why the sharks would want to swim into a tornado in the first place…
Glynn, It’s called Global Weirding
I (mostly) stopped watching SyFy when they dropped Stargate SG1 and Atlantis. I never could get into Stargate Universe, but Sharknado may be hard to resist!
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Yep, up there with “An Inconvenient Truth”
Well, I think that set a new standard for unbelievability. I’m ready for Dr. Mann’s book now.
Thank you all so much I have had a great laugh watching all those clips. It shows as true a comment a late friend of mine used to make that some things have to be so bad they are good, but not for the reason that was intended.

Now skepticism has its place, but this sharknado scenario seems pretty plausible…
..:)
I believe that ace of spades and company are live blogging it. I expect this to become a cult classic along the lines of “A Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
I adore bad sci-fi movies, and thanks to those who posted clips of “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”, which I haven’t seen for years. “The Blob” and similar classics never fail to brighten one’s day.
Wobbly cardboard sets, terrible acting, absurd dialogue, maritime disasters that are obviously filed in bathtubs or swimming pools – what’s not to like?
Edit: “filed” sb “filmed”.
Thanks for all the trailors folks – brightened my day
I thought you were going to go there when you said ‘Jump the Shark’. I was right.
lol.

I just watched “Earth vs. the Flying Saucers”, 1956 for the first time and found it refreshing to enjoy a story where humans are not guilty of anything, are attacked and then pull together to win. The cheesy ‘special’ FX are good for a laugh as well.
