Dr. Roy Spencer has found something quite stunning.
Global Warming is Destroying April Fools Day
He writes:
For the last few days I’ve been trying to think of some crazy, almost-believable angle to illustrate the absurdity of the current global warming movement.
Post it on April 1st, and say “Ha! Fooled ya! The warmists didn’t really say that…but I made you think they did!”
Alas, the global warming alarmists have already used up all of the crazy ideas themselves. As far as they are concerned, global warming causes everything.
…
Now, as the new 2014 IPCC report is revealed, we find that a lack of warming for 15+ years has the experts even more concerned than ever. So, the greater the amount of good news on the global warming front, the greater their hand-wringing.
How can we make fun of them when they are already parodying themselves?? It’s disheartening.
So, I would like to add an item to that long list of things that global warming is destroying…
…global warming is destroying April Fools Day.

Climate perplexed?
Here’s what to do…
GoreBull Warning is the opposite of those patent medicines sold by the smooth-talking salesman. Is there anything Dr. Fleecem’s Magical Elixir can’t cure? Is there anything CAGW can’t cause? Come to think of it, “Dr. Gore’s Carbon Offsets” sound awfully like a Magical Elixir.
Inverse proportionality law of warmism.
The noise level of alarmism increases as evidence decreases.
LOL! DO not forget to add it to the list. Arbor day is next as freezing people will cut down all the trees (see: Haiti) in order to stay warm when the windmills fail.

There’s a lot of that going around. We’ve all heard of the latest SOCal quakes around LA and even the Yellowstone caldera has been shaking a bit. Here in central Oklahoma, we’ve had at least 27 quakes over magnitude 2.5 in the past two weeks.
Thanks, A., Roy. 😉

show me a baseball stadium that hasn’t been torn down long before 90 years to make room for something else. where are those 90 year old stadium everyone flocks to?
the entire CAGW alarm is based on the idea that people are too stupid to get out of their own way, so they will gladly pay a tax to Al Gore and his cronies to do it for them.
After all, Al Gore invented CAGW, so it we pay him he will make it go away. Please Al, save us from the Bogeyman.

I hate to go all biblical, but since Noah has been coopted to the CAGW “Cause” it seems to me a far better explanation for CAGW and its latest burst of doomsaying is the story about the Tower of Babel. That said, I think if Solar 25 delivers what similar solar quiet times have delivered in the past then these loons are not babbling as they get closer to Heaven but closer to the Hell of global cooling and that pitchfork up the ass feeling that they were so horribly, horribly wrong. If history remembers them as mere fools they will be let off very, very lightly. I feel sorry for their kids. Who would want to advertise they studied under them at university.
Well I’ve said this before, do not EVER try to parody these people, or political correctness in general. Ridicule, yes, but parody, no. No stupidity, no cruelty, no evil, is too extreme for them to try to actually do it. All parody does is get in the way of exposing their real evils as and when they attempt them. And they’ll hold up your parody and say “See, they’re telling lies.” Then see what a quagmire you’re in trying to explain to onlookers that, no, this was a parody, but, yes, that was really them being too stupid for words…

climate change denial – conspiracy theories – climate change
2 April: SMH: Peter Hannam: ‘Conspiracist’ climate change study withdrawn amid legal threats
Climate change academics say the decision by a publisher to retract their paper examining the links between conspiracy theorists and denial of global warming because of legal threats could have a “chilling effect” on research.
Frontiers in Psychology last month retracted the paper, Recursive fury: Conspiracist ideation in the blogosphere in response to research on conspiracist ideation “in light of a small number of complaints”, the Swiss-based journal said on its website.
It means that if a paper is published that the climate deniers don’t like the look of, they can bombard the journal with complaints or threats A year-long investigation “did not identify any issues with the academic and ethical aspects of the study,” it said. However, the probe found “the legal context (to be) insufficiently clear”.
The paper, though, is being carried by the website of the University of Western Australia (UWA), where one of its authors, cognitive scientist Stephan Lewandowsky, was based…
“Sadly, it has turned into a routine for outsiders with no scientific standing to approach, bully, or intimidate journals, editors, and academics,” said Professor Lewandowsky, now at the UK’s University of Bristol.
One person commenting on the Frontiers’ website asked for the ‘‘full details of the investigation,’’ saying the paper had been ‘‘derogatory and insulting’’ by naming people as conspiracy theorists who were ‘‘merely pointing out errors in the previous paper’’…
John Cook, a researcher at the University of Queensland and a co-author of the second paper, said the Frontiers’ decision to retract the work might have a “chilling effect” on research.
“It means that if a paper is published that the climate deniers don’t like the look of, they can bombard the journal with complaints or threats,” Mr Cook said.
“Knowing they have had success once might embolden them to try to retreat the strategy again.” (Mr Cook also helms the Skeptical Science website.)
Kim Heitman, a lawyer for the UWA, said the university had done its own risk analysis before publishing the paper online. “There’s no reason to take it down,” Mr Heitman said.
The university had also received complaints from some groups. “It’s quite relentless,” he said.
“There’s always a close interest in everything that Steve (Lewandowsky) does,” Mr Heitman said. “We are conscious that we are going to be targeted by people opposed to his works.”
The university, though, had also received plaudits from around the world for its decision to publish the paper.
“I couldn’t list them,” Mr Heitman said. “And I wouldn’t list them, having regard to the fact that anyone who issues a ‘thanks UWA’ will probably get their own enquiry.”

new report – living in dreamland:
2 April: Fairfax Brisbane Times: Reuters: Far deeper emission cuts needed to curb climate change: draft IPCC report
The world will need far tougher curbs on greenhouse gases, by both developed nations and emerging economies, to keep global warming from exceeding a promised ceiling, a draft UN report shows.
Rich nations led by the United States would have to halve their emissions by 2030 from 2010 levels to keep warming below an agreed 2 degree Celsius ceiling above pre-industrial times, according to the draft obtained by Reuters.
***Asia, including China and India, would have to limit emissions to around 2010 levels by 2030 as part of a global shareout, a tough goal for countries that say they need to burn more fossil fuels to help end poverty…
The Berlin report about solving climate change follows an IPCC report about impacts of warming issued in Japan on Monday that said the world was in many cases ill-prepared for severe and perhaps irreversible change…
“The implications for all the big emitters are pretty stark,” said Alden Meyer, of the Union of Concerned Scientists. “All of them now have something to worry about.” Like others interviewed, he had not seen the draft…

final para of the reuters report on the new report!
“The IPCC says that it is at least 95 per cent probable that human activities, rather than natural variations in the climate, are the dominant cause of recent climate change. Opinion polls show that voters in many nations are far less certain.”
Bill Leak, the cartoonist for The Australian newspaper summed it up. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/cartoons/photos-e6frg6zx-1226796005926?page=3
This even caused mirth among ardent warmists in Australia.
As i have stated previously the missing heat is not being stored in the oceans but in the land. This extra energy has caused the speed of continental drift to increase dramatically. What with the ever increasing rise in carbon dioxide levels we can soon expect the continents to be moving as fast as motorboats.
