Climate craziness of the week: climate scientist presented as a God, like Mao and Kim Il-sung?

This picture looks a lot like some murals we’ve seen in the past to deify “heros of some revolution”.  Compare the photos below.

Jo Nova writes:

A friend at Curtin University, Western Australia reports that a new mysterious and imposing mural appeared on the facade. It is as if passers-by can look through the bricks and see a Saint-of-Science himself working.

The words on the plaque (which must be something like 5m wide) read “Inside our walls Professor Richard Warrick is continuing the climate change research that led to a Nobel Peace Prize. “

Now compare that mural to some others seen through history:

Makes you wonder “what were they thinking?” at Curtin University?

Jo Nova has the story here.

Wanted to email Prof Warwick and suggest that, out of embarrassment, he should tell the Uni to remove this Communist Era propaganda installation. Guess what? Unlike every other academic at Curtin Uni, there is no publicly accessible email address for the good professor. Pathetic, eh? Who the F%&k do these people think they are? Unbelievable.

I bet the other professors at the university feel invisible right about now.

“Inside our walls . . .”
Like a rat in the wainscoting?

This is from his climate software website.
“Hamilton’s CLIMsystems Ltd. Scores National Innovator of the Year Award”
“Richard Warrick, one of the authors of that report is a leading figure in the sea level rise and impact modeling field. He was recognized for his contribution to global climate change science when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize along with other key players in the IPCC in 2007.”

I have not got time at the mo to investigate how accurate Warrick’s climate model software has been to date, it would been interesting to see how inaccurate his models have been to date.

Only thing better would be if this building was in the city of Jericho. And the walls came tumbling down…

When you are capable of presenting a reasoned argument instead of venting, your opinion might be taken more seriously.

Would have to vote that this is a different spin from Chairman and Fidel, but these guys are definitely positioning themselves as shamans. Mike would have us trust his “gut feelings” , the twinges in his gizzard. It is an interesting, but frightening study in sociology and anthropology.

Which sadly is what our cloistered sandstones have become nowadays, tarting themselves to ever more weaker intellects with marketing campaigns in a race to the bottom, under the guise of liberating and uplifting the masses from their drudgery.

Obama has long perfected the technique (bright backlighting of his close-cropped cranium). Anent which, I hear the DoE and USPS employees are also being armed and trained. Check out the events in the Ukraine for ‘why now?’.
