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.

CNN NEWS FLASH!!! ALERT!!!/ALERT!!!
97% of the global scientific community has reached a resounding consensus that the outdated Scientific Method is no longer a viable construct.
Until further notice, 97% of scientists have agreed that hypothetical validation will heretofore be solely based upon the amount of government research grant money that can be extorted from taxpayers. The hypothesis with the highest dollar value of extortion wins and if the economic damage of the newly approved hypothesis exceeds $1 trillion, the hypothesis will be put in a hat with a chance of winning the Nobel Prize at the annual drawing in Stockholm, Sweden.
As an added reward, the new hypothesis must be taught as dogma at all educational institutions from K1~Post Grad programs.
The scientific community has also voted to adopt the following slogan:
WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!
The new scientific slogan shall be prominently written on any peer review paper.
97% of scientists have also agreed that 2 + 2= 5.

The latest British model, which simulates the climate on a more detailed scale, was shown to be 62 per cent accurate at giving a broadbrush prediction of winter conditions when it was tested on 20 years of retrospective data, the Times reports.
This is an April Fools joke ? … right ?

I think a fine April Fool’s Day joke would be to go to an Alarmist you know and tell him or her that you’ve come around to their way of thinking. Confess you have seen the error of your ways, and engage them in earnest conversation. Have some fun, and then, after ten minutes, simply say, “April Fool’s.”
The worst part IMneverHO is the anthropogenically added degrees are now starting to affect geometery.
Remember when the zenith was straight up?
It’s now calculated to be almost 1/2 a bubble off plumb and models predict it will be off by over 2 degrees within the next 100 years.
The nadir is no longer straight down either, it is actively trying to smother us.
“Turned me into a newt…”

Hope everyone is doing well and thawing out.
All of the cataclysmic climate kerfluffle about CO2 from fossil fueled power sources may soon be moot. A team led by Israeli Physicist Dr. Alexsandr Roschenko has announced a small working matter/anti- matter conversion unit has been continuously producing a steady 100 terajoules of power for the first 17 hrs of testing. The machine was designed by Dr. Zefram Cochrane and built by his team of Israeli technicians and engineers. During Dr. Roschenko’s announcement to the press on Tuesday afternoon, he referred to the device as a “warp core generator”. It is been rumored for some time that Drs. Roschenko and Cochrane originally conceived of their machine at their previous research facility near Palo Alto, CA, USA, but moved operations to a new desert facility near Be’er Sheva, Israel after their requests for research funding were refused by both the US Dept, of Energy and Stanford University. Unnamed sources in California revealed emails between university officials and DOE climate scientists who agreed to withhold funding because they could “see no merit in funding projects which did not at least approach the universal scientific goal of proving the truly disastrous ruin to the Earth of man’s dereliction of climate awareness and climate justice”. Israeli officials declined comment, but Bebe Netanyahu was reportedly photographed while dancing a jig at the press conference.
Hey only 21 more days until it’s Hate Humans Day.
All this Doom and Gloom scenarios, reminds me of the supposed shortest story ever written…
“The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door…”
Maybe it is Al Gore.. still wanting to preach his message to the one person left!!
Boy, don’t I just wish I could “like” replies!
Was this a joke? It almost made April Fools Day.

Just take a little fact, mix with myth, stir in the scary meme and serve late after many alcoholic beverages are consumed – job done cake baked please send money!!
Parts of IPCC AR5 LEAKED earlier than we thought!
Conclusions before findings from the world’s gold standard of something or other.
Better said
“Conclusions before research from the world’s gold standard of something or other.”
Given the BBC’s record in giving sceptics a voice this has got to be an April Fools

I thought April Fools’ Day was the 10th April for all the inveterate tax dodgers who realised too late that they could have claimed more tax credits the previous financial year??
I know for a fact that if you place plastic quart jars of Redenbacher popcorn on the blunt end of radar guided missiles, the popcorn will burst high enough in the atmosphere to increase the albedo of our beloved Earth to the point that all global warming will end in days. It is consumable after returning to the surface and also usefully depletes our otherwise useless deterrent and self-defense weaponry that Obama can’t find a need for. I’m serial – it works.
IPCC’s head Pachauri gives up his maharajah lifestyle to live like an ordinary citizen, saying “Like Al Gore, I wish to set an example by reducing my carbon footprint.”
Yeah, right.

Interesting idea, but be careful, any politician who think he is a bit cleaver, will cange the cork to something that measures the amount of gases you release and then they will TAX you .
Alas, a subscription is required.
According to these morons global warming/climate change can cause pretty well anything, particularly if it’s unpleasant.
But one thing is beyond doubt: climate change causes many people to go mad.

New peer reviewed study finds Climate Change Deniers believe NASA’s manned mission to Mars was a hoax.
Ok, one day late but here goes . . . .
Breaking News: Pensioners revolt following Denture Cleaning Product Ban.
Following last January’s recommendation from the Department of Energy & Climate Change, Parliament has passed (97 votes to 3) an outright ban with immediate effect on the use of denture cleaning products which include brands such as ‘Sterident’ tablets. Said 72-year old Ethel Crunchbucket from Eastbourne, “I never knew what all those little bubbles were made of – but I liked seeing them fizz up all sparkly in the glass an’ I’ll miss wearing me nice shiny false teeth from now on.”
So, the greater the amount of good news on the global warming front, the greater their hand-wringing
For those of us that think that more warming is more likely going to have a positive than a negative effect overall, such a long pause is not “good” news. Then what would cooling be considered, excellent news? Brrrr…
