A post by Richard Betts on how the 2 degree limit is like a speed limit just begged for a cartoon! So I did one: On BH now

As Richard Betts notes here “I see the ‘2 degree limit’ as rather like a speed limit on a road”. And which is also quite an apt metaphor for the pause in global temperatures – slower than a not very extinct snail.
The Muppet Office’s Muppetmobile travelling to the next gravy train.
Obviously not an “S” car.
Ouch. Well played, sir!
Gees. You should see that…… “S” car go !!!
Obviously!
Speaking of S models. I saw a black Telsa S model in Washington DC last weekend, with the DC license plate “WATTSUP”. Don’t they are a reader of this blog though.
Another classic! 🙂
Not only has it stalled, but climate is causing real depression for scientists.
Interesting your linked article talks about Camille Parmesan, being depressed about having to explain climate change after having found a “huge climate signal,” when Jim Steele has shown here at WUWT that virtually all of her supposed signals are rooted in careless population analyses, here, for example, and here and here.
All of them are here. Camille Parmesan, to my knowledge, has never shown up here to contest, dispute, or correct Jim Steele’s analyses. She’d undoubtedly be politely received. I’ve no doubt whatever that Anthony would be very ready and willing, even eager, to host any essay she might choose to submit.
Yes, she sounds quite cheesed-off.
I suspect that all kinds of unqualified people are doing all kinds of things they are unqualified for, due to powerful computers and sophisticated software ubiquity. It’s easier to feign competence from behind an electrified fooling machine.
Not for scientists but for pseudoscientists. The former are always working within Theories of Science. The later are trying their best using Fallacies.
Amazing, the warmists manage to use all of the Fallacies.
I noticed that long ago…. I for one thought that it wasn’t possible to pass the Master essay/thesis without having been taught to understand what science is… but I guess I was wrong.
“Parmesan has a pretty serious stake in the field. In 2007, she shared a Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore for her work as a lead author of the Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).”
Haven’t we been over this before with a guy named Mann?
Yep. A blurb from the university where she works also falsely awards her a Nobel. These people just thrive on an overinflated c.v.
“Plymouth University and the National Marine Aquarium held a unique event to celebrate the arrival in Plymouth of Professor Camille Parmesan, a Nobel prize-winning scientist and the newly-appointed National Marine Aquarium Chair in Public Understanding of Oceans and Human Health within the University’s Marine Institute.”

They blame us! I guess it’s for approaching climate with empirical science.
Roy,
I just posted a comment about Camille Parmesan’s claim that she won a Nobel prize at the link you gave. Just 3 straightforward, factual sentences, and I linked back to this article.
Guess what? Grist deleted it! Now I am even happier that WUWT has kicked Grist’s butt for the past three years in the Weblog Awards.
These people can’t seem to care that censorship costs them site traffic. Or they do understand it, but they have petty moderators who censor comments that don’t toe the Party line.
Feel free to mention Ms Parmesan there. But don’t be surprised if they censor you, too [you have to refresh the page to see if your comment is still there].
aaaawwwww . . I just left the website to the Grist article on ‘Tips and Notes’ – should have known it would have been talked about already . . . ! What a HILARIOUS article. I left a common about how Jim Steele feels about Camille Parmesan on Dr. Curry’s website.
So when the brakes fail, the car will roll backward down-temp?
isn’t that the way they recharge their batteries ? by rolling backwards?
/imagination on
The imagination is tempted by Josh’s work. Is that the proverbial road to catastrophe that they think they are on? If they think so then they are perhaps in for a surprise. Imagine just over that hill is the diner called ‘The Last Stop Before the End of The Holocene”. It is the end of ‘hot’ but it cool.

Thanks, Josh.
Needs mile marker ” 18 YRS” just behind the car !

What, no indignant comments from global temperature “pause/hiatus” deniers!
Come on hotwhopper, surely you deny the pause?
A snail passing a Citroen ugly duck. Yeah, I get it.
In New Zealand we have a TELCO called 2Degrees that has 97% coverage. Strange how theses particular numbers continue to pop up.
The universe may need to SELECT FLOOR(RAND(∞)*(∞)+1);
There is a weird correlation forming….
Does he know he is driving on the Wrong side of the road? 🙂
AGW is supposedly global, not US-centric.
In Oz we drive on the right side of the road – that is, the left side.
Perhaps they are on the wrong side of the argument
Is it a real snail or one that the accelerating global warming has made exstinct?
Another effect of climate change, supercharged snails. They’ll soon be outrunning French chefs.
Now I want escargots with parmesan cheese.
Bunch of jerks…
There’s something wrong with the CO2 “fuel”. Maybe someone needs to check under the hood.
Look on the bright side. They’re still getting fantastic mileage.
I just had to share: http://chuckleaduck.com/comic/plan-for-the-future-2/
Gave me a belly laugh this morning
Reminds me of all those people buying property in Arizona waiting for the “Big One”.
Nice to see the steering wheel on the correct side!
The gear stick on a 2CV is quite hockey stick shaped. Maybe they just need to fiddle with that a bit.
2 degrees c Josh? the DECC of Britain can of course keep the globe below that speed limit. And, of course, run Britains energy policy. ….Like this….One wheel on our wagon…
