This year, October 22/23, they are bringing in a comedian (no relation):
Carbon pollution is not only disrupting our lives, it’s hitting our wallets. Comedian and musician Reggie Watts shows how, laying out the billion-dollar connection between fossil-fuel energy and dirty weather events like Superstorm Sandy caused by carbon pollution.
I guess he didn’t read the recent IPCC AR5 report that showed no connections of climate change/global warming with severe weather. In a year when we’ve had the least number of wildfires in 30 years and well below the decadal average, plus a near record low in tornadoes, and a hurricane season that has gone bust, Gore is pushing a dead issue. See why on the WUWT Extreme Weather page
So as this screencap from his latest propaganda video shows, setting fire to orchids seems to be the way Gore is fawning for attention getting the message across that it is hot in the summer and wildfires happen. He’s got nothing else.
Its the same old tired stuff from Gore, who can’t even bring himself to correct blatant errors and outright lying I discovered in his “high school science experiment” from two years ago. So, I’ve decided not to bother with the event this year, seeing how WUWT is beating the pants off of Gore’s Climate Reality project by the numbers:
Gore is still stuck on stupid, his star is fading, and he clearly isn’t worth the effort. He’s already beaten, nobody but a few zealots care anymore.
I’ll focus WUWT-TV on the science at the AGU meeting this year. I’m happy to report that I’ve been given a press pass.
Below, you can watch the latest video from Gore and laugh, after all he’s reduced himself to hiring a comedian to push his issue.
UPDATE: In comments, “Mark and Two cats” sums the whole thing up pretty well:
…dirty weather events…
————————————-
Children just aren’t going to know what clean weather is.
UPDATE2: for reference from the IPCC AR5 WGI Chapter 2 on extremes.
- “Overall, the most robust global changes in climate extremes are seen in measures of daily temperature, including to some extent, heat waves. Precipitation extremes also appear to be increasing, but there is large spatial variability”
- “There is limited evidence of changes in extremes associated with other climate variables since the mid-20th century”
- “Current datasets indicate no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century … No robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin”
- “In summary, there continues to be a lack of evidence and thus low confidence regarding the sign of trend in the magnitude and/or frequency of floods on a global scale”
- “In summary, there is low confidence in observed trends in small-scale severe weather phenomena such as hail and thunderstorms because of historical data inhomogeneities and inadequacies in monitoring systems”
- “In summary, the current assessment concludes that there is not enough evidence at present to suggest more than low confidence in a global-scale observed trend in drought or dryness (lack of rainfall) since the middle of the 20th century due to lack of direct observations, geographical inconsistencies in the trends, and dependencies of inferred trends on the index choice. Based on updated studies, AR4 conclusions regarding global increasing trends in drought since the 1970s were probably overstated. However, it is likely that the frequency and intensity of drought has increased in the Mediterranean and West Africa and decreased in central North America and north-west Australia since 1950”
- “In summary, confidence in large scale changes in the intensity of extreme extratropical cyclones since 1900 is low”

From H.R. on October 17, 2013 at 12:21 pm:
I’m skeptical of your claim. What’s your angle?
Are you finding him too obtuse? That can be an acute condition.
=======================================================
Not to go off on a tangent, kadaka, but it’s just another sign of the times we’re in.
“Sine of the times, Shirley. But it’s all a matter of degree. Lie out in the sun and cotan with your SO.”
Yeah, good advice, Brian. But in today’s litigious PC world, if you’re going to cotan, you’ll probably have to cosine an agreement.
Well… I think we’ve just about come full circle on this topic, eh?
“Well… I think we’ve just about come full circle on this topic, eh?”
I don’t know about that, but we seem to have struck a chord.
Reggie Watts is a very talented guy – he does a show on IFC with Scott Aukerman called Comedy Bang! Bang!
I hope he’s getting a good payday, because his BS-meter needs fine-tuning.
Nobody cares
Nobody except the
Gore-bots.
I learned from that video that carbon dioxide looks like smoke, all nasty and dirty. I did not know that.(/sarc)
And all you people being mean to Algore? Stop it! He got me my job. (Really)
Maybe the next climate crisis can be boring weather.

You make it plane that perhaps we should search for parallels to this cautionary tale, Randle.
But for now, I’m going to take a break and go get some pi and ice cream.
Beating the pants off Gore’s “Climate Reality” project – Y0U GO, ANTHONY!! And keep on kickin’ Bloody Mess between his kiester!
Bloody Mess’s latest ploy might deserve attention from the securities and Exchange Commission. B.M. came out today with the declaration that energy stocks are at risk. Makes you wonder if he’s been selling them short, figuring his predictions would cause the price to drop after he sold short, and enable him to cover the shorts for less than he sold them for, thereby raking in the cash. That would seem to constitute illegal market manipulation.
However, since the Justice Department, along with all the rest of der Fuehrer’s administration, has their lips squarely planted upon B.M.’s kiester – one could assume there would be no prosecution.
Nerd math humor (the trig comments) at its best nadir.
What can you expect from Al Gore . He received c’s and d’s in his Science Classes at Harvard .
He failed Divinity School and dropped out of Law School at Vanderbilt University . Besides what is all this concern about co2 . It has been 20 times its present value in previous geological times which were cold .Gore has benn on the record saying we must reduce co2 by 90% which would leave us at 40 ppm . Humans quit breathing at 200-399ppm of co2.. At about 180 ppm all vegetation dies out and life ceases. Next he with his infinite Scientific knowledge may propose outlawing o2.
Bobprud
Should be 200-300 ppm of co2 . Sorry
A comedian and musician? That surely is a very well trained fellow for presenting something like that.
I’d do it for half the money. Including a pie in the face for Al Gore.

JeffL in Tips & Notes shows Prince Albert’s own comedy act as the Carbon Bubble Boy:

Al Gore is the man who told the world if we didn’t go ahead and install his policies regardless of the election, thousands of people could die, and that his information came from the top levels of government employees.
He used the authority of employment by the government as meaning their and his words carried more weight than other people because they were somehow “the biggest cahuna”.
Al Gore told his followers that if people didn’t listen to his energy market manipulation scam when he did his comeback from losing the election tour, his followers were bound by their duty to refuse to be bound by old limits of action and even if it meant bending or even breaking the law,
his policies should be installed in spite of the election. Those who resisted would be broken financially by the losses incurred.
Just like Al Qaeda Al Gore wanted his policies installed, his energy ones anyway, regardless of the election Not installing them meant admitting you deserved to die from whatever happened to you and made you personally responsible for people’s deaths in storms on the other side of the planet. The tiniest infraction of ‘Gores Law of Climate Sin’ was justification to be labeled and likened unto anything and anybody.
Just like Al Qaeda, Al Gore wanted his followers to break the law if required: the old regimes had to be toppled, dragged down by the people who realized how important Al Gore’s word was.
Just like Al Qaeda, Al Gore wanted his followers to participate in economic paralyzation of those, resistant to Al Gore’s criminal ends: Al Gore’s ends were energy market manipulation trying to drive some value into the Occidental Oil stocks Senator Daddy Gore left Jr.
You know Occidental Oil: Third largest oil company in the United States , #2 oil supplier in California.
Why don’t ya ever hear of Occidental Oil, third largest Oil company in the U.S?
Well, because Occidental Oil has forty percent of it’s holdings in Alternative Energy.
Al Gore’s daddy left Al Jr. some ALTERNATIVE ENERGY STOCKS, so when Jr. lost the election and did his comeback tour he figured where else to start but pumping some value into those long neglected inheritance stock?
So he did. He tried to pump the Alternative Energy market so he could get back some money from that expensive election he lost. He needed to get relevant again, get cozy with a new class of chicks, who didn’t know how cozy Jr Bear likes his …”interns” and “associates”..
So when Al saw what a terror campaign can do, particularly when it was so well timed along with the completely separate one by Al Qaeda, well you know – who could resist?
Not Al Qaeda.
Not Al Gore..
Al Gore : One of the most evil men since WW2.
For those who are interested, the link to the Climate Reality 24 Hours stuff is here: http://www.24hoursofreality.org/
24 Hours of Un-Reality! Hopefully, the Gore Effect will kick in and help decrease the ongoing fires in NSW, Australia. I’m sure that will be prominently mentioned in the event, read all about it on Al’s Jazeera: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-pacific/2013/10/australia-bushfires-destroy-scores-homes-2013101942347824395.html
Energy prices are higher than they otherwise would be as a result of the policymakers green energy policies. Who’s calling the kettle black here. It’s worrisome that people watch a video like this and they believe it.
Gore should be held accountable dang it!
