Now that the IPCC WG II report has been released, you can expect a full round of wailing and gnashing of teeth, because they are quite certain the world is going to thermageddon in a handbasket.

Great art JOSH!!!
To me, if there were no words in it, then I would think it was a pilgrimage of Mannkind acolytes returning disappointed from a gathering where there was a no-show of their prophet called CAGW who was expected to be carrying stone tables inscribed with words of doom.

Oh great. Now I’m going to have a nightmare tonight that Mann and Schmitt have made an unholy alliance and created offspring. *shudders*”
Yeah, not the Munchkins….the Mann-chkins……
Thanks to all for sharing their stories of banning and shunning by the Green Inquisitors. I feel honored to be now counted among you.

disguise your post so it appears you are a warmer making fun of someone for pointing out there has been no warming. go over the top. done correctly your message will get through and then some. lay it on thick.
use one of the free services (google free vpn) to change your IP so they will think you are a legit climate looney.

Yep, they’re the “I wanna look like Rick Warren but, like him, I’m afraid to commit to a full beard” type…..c’,mon guys, show some guts….grow a full beard (well-maintained, of course)….
Only problem is when you shave it off…but, a few more zits won’t hurt, or?
(Had a handlebar mustache for a few years…now THAT’s maintenance…don’t wanna hear about soup, etc.)….but it was popular thanks to the Oakland A’s….).
Scored the best post on Bill Richardson’s article on CNN with this-
“The biggest whopper above is that the science is settled.
Earth’s thermodynamic equilibrium is controlled by thousands of inter-related variables in constant flux. Precise values are not known as to how these ever changing forcing’s affect long term climate trends. CO2’s climate sensitivity is highly disputed and not known to the degree that these kinds of definitive predictions can be made with any accuracy. The 17 years of negligible warming we have seen in the face of rising CO2 levels are empirical proof that climate models have overstated its effect.
I can think of dozens of things that are more of a threat to our way of life than something that is not currently happening in the real world.”
Being at the top of the list brought the haters out in force. I was called everything in the book. Scary that this benign statement could bring out such venom. Weird to be seen as dangerous when everyone who knows me see’s me as mellow. They gave up after consistent calm responses and some deleted their reply’s rather than have me respond.
This is very much an uphill battle combating the scientific dictatorship that is in place.
Vis-à-vis beards, there is a comment that just because you have hair around it, it doesn’t mean you have to talk like a Cnut! Written self deprecatingly by man with with beard.

“@Dave: “…My post was removed.”
Cheer up, I was banned a few weeks ago from another forum because I dared to post the GISS graph showing no significant rise in global temperatures for 17 years or so. I was accused of posting ‘a fallacy’. Yes, actual, observed scientific data is now considered ‘a fallacy’ by climate zealots and anyone who disagrees is to be silenced.”
One could argue that the GISS temperature history IS a fallacy; since it is getting rewritten over and over again by Gavin Schmidt, to cool the past and warm the present.

“One could argue that the GISS temperature history IS a fallacy; since it is getting rewritten over and over again by Gavin Schmidt, to cool the past and warm the present.”
And let’s not forget that it is NASA that perpetrates that lie, doubtlessly at the instruction of their political paymasters.
I thought, let’s make a forum in which guardian readers find a comment thread for each of the guardian’s articles so they can comment without the guardian’s moderation; and let’s call it grauniad.co.uk.
But the domain is already taken. It redirects to the guardian.
