Whatever you do, don’t mention The Pause.
pause? looks like a reducion to me.
If you mention The Pause we shall say ‘Ni’.
Great cartoon. Listening to the news report on the BBC, the impression I got was; who are they trying to convince, us or themselves?
Pathetic!
IPCC needs to channel a little Jonathan Edwards. We are held over the fiery pit because of our sins.
Prof Miles Allen Gratham institute is a blatant liar “icecaps are melting” Please check your data.
Cryosphere today a pro global warming site or DMI ice extent
Your title should be withdrawn and the institute sued
BBC interview
“Whatever you do, don’t mention The Pause.”
“If you mention The Pause we shall say ‘Ni’.”
I believe it is “Neep”
The norm throughout history is for the holders of political power to also control the economy. For their own benefit. IPCC wants this gravy train to continue and politicians and bureaucrats all over the globe want to continue fostering the belief that government direction is necessary to stave off climate disaster.
That’s why you get sociologists like Anthony Giddens saying in the 90s that even if there is no warming, this is the statist-oriented restructuring we would want anyway. Much of the global economic stagnancy is really due to being past the tipping point where the parasites are wrecking what is productive in order to manitain or increase political power.
Pacchauri and Gore make excellent models of this entire interventionist phenomenon. So do many research universities today.
Please, do one on the ill-posed question!

Could it be the Mannopause ?
There was an idiot UK climate guru? called Peter Stott who told the BBC that melting Poles, rising sea levels, warming seas were ‘proof’ that mankind was the culprit!!!!!
Doh!!
Government is the problem, NOT the solution!

Ah yes, the knights who say “ni”:
It reminds me of Pachuri.
Using this cartoon for my desktop background. Love it.
Funny it might be but it has been repeated ad nauseum today and we all know what happens if lies are repeated often enough – Governments and the general public believe it.
I just want them to stop.
And now comes the wave of fat retirements after the great hurrah.
It would be instructive to compile the names of contributors and staff to the IPCC AR5 for use by the future Truth and Reconciliation Courts to judge them.

Have you seen the 2 part movie (on netflix) Atlas Shrugged?

Either that or MentalPause
Too bad Patchy wasn’t wearing the black cap that used to be worn when UK judges handed down a death sentence–it would underline his being a “hanging judge.”
There is no indication that the warmists will back off one bit. Obama plans to continue with rules to reduce CO2. Reality is of no importance. 2+2 = 5 and if you don’t agree you will be tortured until you do. “1984” just came 30 years late.
We are no longer the panel who says ni, we are now the panel that says ekki-ekki-ekki-ptang-zoom-boing!

Having heard some of that ad nauseum BBC coverage today I’m afraid the only way it’ll stop is if Mother Nature is kind enough to throw us a few really cold decades.
When (more) people are freezing to death in supposedly civilised countries because they can’t afford the fuel thanks to “green” subsidies and taxes it won’t matter how much the politicians tell them that they’re needed to stop the warming.
What’s really worrying is that the ones most likely to renounce warming first are the very far right, because they have little political capital to lose anyway. And freezing people might just vote for a fascist if they’re promising affordable heat in the winter.
I’d rather have my scepticism proved wrong than have that happen because I don’t want anyone to be without needed heat, but I don’t get a say in the matter – only nature will decide who’s right in the end.
No, it’s “Nie”, German for “Never”.
It takes a pretty good spinmeister to rephrase ‘cooling’ as ‘less than anticipated’ warming.
