Friday Funny – Katharine Hayhoe: only YOU can control the climate!

With the way Hayhoe described that, I couldn’t help think of, and embellish, this famous opening segment. With apologies to, The Outer Limits.

There is nothing wrong with your planet. Do not attempt to adjust the temperature. We are controlling the climate. If we wish to make it warmer, we will bring up the climate sensitivity. If we wish to make it cooler, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the Carbon Dioxide. We will control the solar insolation. We can roll the temperature, make it flutter. We can change the data to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next decade, sit quietly and we will control all data you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your planet. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to – The Climate Limits.

When she says “every individual” she really means “every individual following the dictates of We The Enlightened Ones”

Love the old Outer Limits connection!
What fools these mortals be to think they can control that which they cannot even understand.

If it had that, it would have been The Twilight Zone. The Outer Limits was different. And had out-of-focus sine waves. I think they couldn’t afford a signal generator, so they just displayed the line voltage instead of something cool like Lissajous patterns. Maybe they couldn’t focus that close to the oscilloscope.
The gravity defying grandfather’s clock on The Twilight Zone was much more intriguing.

“…the power to change climate lies in hands of every individual on the planet..”
But if I’m controlling for my ideal climate and my neighbour is controlling for a different ideal, what happens?

I remember her from a few months ago, in which WUWT “gets the heave ho from hayhoe.” She is the NGO focus group “thought leader” for GREEN JESUS.

Well that explains the witch burning heretic hating attitude of Catastropests like her majesty.
As every individual can manipulate the weather/climate, in her world, then it is obvious how the odious styling of 10:10 types would pass for humour.
Think good thought of the climate will be destroyed?
Of course as these nincompoops never venture outdoors in the real world, Hayhoe is correct, we each control our indoor climate, assuming the wealth to do so.
The raving of a over privileged, under investigated liberal.

HAY HOE HAY HOE KATHARINE HAYHOE’S GOT TO GO!
Ditto for all the other delusional global warming alarmists. Enough is too much already.

In some respects I agree with her. Rather than having all the do-gooders spend their time convincing governments to apply more taxation and regulation on everyone, nothing is stopping them from living a carbon-free lifestyle right now. Lead by example. And the more people that show how easily it can be done , and how many benefits come from this lifestyle, more and more people will jump on board.
Something like the “Alice’s Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement”
“One person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick and
They won’t take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
They may think they’re both faggots and they won’t take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
Singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. They may think it’s an
Organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
Fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and
Walking out. And friends they may thinks it’s a movement.”

Cultural Marxism seeks to replace the proletariat (which failed to rebel against capitalism) with different groups; victim groups.
The UN tried to get EVERYBODY into one victim group; the climate victim; Hayhoe addresses everybody so she plays the same game. So she’s a Cultural Marxist; a vulture trying to feast on whatever the designated victim group will bring forth.

Hayhoe is a dedicated Climate Liar, and, amazingly enough, an Evangelical Christian. If I remember my Bible correctly, lying is somewhat frowned upon.

Did I miss something regarding the spelling of her name?
Catherine? (capital ‘C’, lower-case ‘e’)
Katharine? (capital ‘K’, lower-case ‘a’)

You do know that you…. and all humanity….are carbon based life form, don’t you? You cannot live a carbon free lifestyle ‘easily’, ‘right now’ or ever, without killing yourself. I, for one, will not be ‘jumping on board’ that end-of-lifestyle until my Maker calls me home.

Katharine thought that an increase of 0.0000C in Texas winter temperatures was a sign of climate change!!
I think she must be in the wrong discipline!
