People send me stuff. This was in my Inbox this morning:
Hi Anthony, My name is Wren and I’m a physics and applied math major at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, which is notoriously supportive of CAGW (they hosted Michael Mann a couple semesters ago for the “New Hockey Stick” something or other). We have a new coffee shop on campus called Argo Tea and all of their products have links to StopGlobalWarming.org. It sounded like a good laugh, so I checked it out and found some hilarious stop global warming jewelry (pretty much consisting of multiple items picturing the planet on fire). It’s very funny!
Here’s the link:

My dad showed me this site [WUWT} two or so years ago and now I check it out most every day just to keep myself sane! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Wren.What they say on the webpage at the main page is interesting:
Stop Global Warming Recycled Green Jewelry
The heat is on – and it’s getting hotter.
Cool Planet Jewelry invites you to join us in the campaign to Stop Global Warming. We are proud to partner with StopGlobalWarming.org to present the Stop Global Warming Collection of fine jewelry. Each piece is made from recycled precious metals using entirely eco-friendly manufacturing techniques. They are cool, responsible, and a beautiful reminder that we must all work together to stop the potentially catastrophic consequences of climate change.
Join Sheryl Crow, Laurie David, Daryl Hannah, Terry Tempest Williams, Kathy Mattea, Bill McKibben, Simone, Kristin Cavallari, Gretchen Bleirer, Michael Franti, David Henrie, and people across the globe to take action and make a difference. Take action and make a difference today.
100% of all net proceeds are donated to StopGlobalWarming.org and the Natural Resources Defense Council (N.R.D.C.).
Um, no thanks.
OTOH, add an olive wreath and it could just as easily pass for the United Nations logo on fire. I might actually buy that one.

Anthony, I wonder if you can see the irony: http://wattsupwiththat.com/wuwt-stuff/
Don’t know why, but I went on their site and found one of their marchers:

Can’t believe I voted for this guy John McCain…
Well, Sarah Palin said she was going to try and change his mind – fat chance for that!
And he has even become more out of touch on everything else it seems.
Depressing.
Fad and fashion are soon out of date.
I love that ‘recycled precious metals’ statement. That immediately caused me t think of the lurid “We Buy Gold” signs abundant across the developed landscape. Which really mean, we pay a small percentage of the ‘official’ scrap gold prices.
Recycled precious metals still have to under refining. I wonder if they’re ‘recycled precious metals’ are smelted using solar, wind or human powered equipment?
Nah, they’re likely using natural gas…

“Anth0ny, I wonder if you can see the irony:”
Did it occur to you that it is the warmists, not we, who claim that consumption and CO2 emitted through industrial activity is killing the planet?

“It would also allow a building to reduce its heating or cooling needs if everyone inside had a Wristify strapped to their arm, ”
I see a strategic use for that; just make every citizen wear one and make them feel warm while you reduce acquisition of heating material from outside nations to zero. Maybe test it in North Korea first.
If Wristify watches don’t suffice add Marihuana and alcohol; both mess with body temperature regulation as well.
Fine jewelry? No, just jewelry.
Why don’t they make one with Al Gore’s head and hair on fire?, that would be a classic
@RogerKnights:
I like the idea. A Zero Draft Version here.
I’ll try one with error bars.
I didn’t see any climate models wearing the jewelry. Nothing fit?
What did the climate model say when Algore blew in her ear?
“Thanks for the refill!”
I’m guessing they must have to issue smug alerts frequently there in Ashville.

“”I’ve often heard it said that over 95% of all gold metal ever mined can be accounted for today. Might be an urban myth, but has a ring of reasonableness. “”
Geoff,
I read somewhere that there is more gold dissolved in a cubic mile of sea water than has ever been mined.
I wonder if it’s true.
The comment about daylight savings time fading curtains is hilarious.
I know someone to spring that one on.
Can’t wait.
Ehhh? What???
What the devil are “entirely eco-friendly manufacturing techniques”?
I first envisioned some poor illiterate person in China, India, or some African county melting the scraps over a dung fire, while trying to overcome the chills associated with the malaria he/she has thanks to the old worldwide DDT ban?
Then I thought maybe it could be a group of people sitting around with large magnifying glasses in the sun trying to melt the scraps right over the mold: at least THAT could be automated so some degree and would be relatively “eco-friendly.”
Either way, those folks would surely be contributing to AGW (by breathing at least). I wonder if someone could perform a little investigative journalism on the StopGlobalWarming crew: They’re probably also among the folks claiming “exploitation of poor foreign workers” who should have a living wage.
I envision art showing a chainsaw being used to cut up hockey sticks and IPCC reports to keep people warm if AGW becomes the next little ice age. (A one degree drop over the next decade or two would probably put a lot of people in a tailspin…)
The medalion I want has the U.N. globe and olive branches, a double-parked limo, and a guy wearing a chauffeur’s cap tearing up a parking ticket . . .
Your text change, “Warmist Resisters League,” is a great improvement. Your omission of shackles on the wrists is comparatively unimportant. But I think the hockey stick would be more recognizable with the blade on the right, matching the icon we’re all familiar with.
I believe there are button mfgrs. that will buttonize any logo that’s sent to them (once you get the text into a rim around the image). I googled for them a year or two ago and there seemed to be several. You’re welcome to any profits. (I suggest you let WUWT be the seller and take most of the profits.)
PS: Perhaps there should be a second version without the text, which would be less confrontational, which some people would prefer.
From a SF story I read somewhere, yonks ago. I have no idea what it was about now. I just remember the short poem, but not the context.
Man the greater,
Man the higher,
Man the pumps,
The world’s on fire.
Anyone recognise it or what it was all about? I doubt it was about global warming, but who knows?
…if you realy want to fight global warming, you need to buy the right tools from a high priest of the curch of global warming:

…otherwise you’l never get redemption
The last one could be passed off as a logo for Hell Inc.
I think someone could come up with a logo that illustrates the concept of “pants on fire”.
Anyone?
Looks to me like the Golden Dawn insignia – google it!
