People send me stuff. The name “Grauniad” as defined by Urban Dictionary says:
The Grauniad is a nickname for the UK national newspaper, the Guardian, because of a now ill-founded reputation for typos. The name was given to it by the satirical magazine Private Eye. The Guardian newspaper earned its reputation for lots of misprints in the days of hot-metal printing when it was published in Manchester (it was originally called the Manchester Guardian), and the editions that appeared in London were very early editions brought down by train, before all the errors had been spotted.
And so it goes today. Lost in Lima, will they ever find it?
Yes, if you find it somewhere in the midst of “the pause”, please point it out.

Hey, is that a simple Gruniad typo I see, or one of the most revealing Freudian slip of all time 😉

MISSING (since 1996):
Global Warming aka Climate Change (may have other aliases as well).
Known to take on various appearances.
Fond of hockey.
May be found at the bottom of the ocean, but could be anywhere.
Reward for finding: saving the planet plus free trip to Al Gore’s mansion.
Please help. Warmists, those in the Climate Industry, and those depending on the money from it are counting on you.
Bruce Cobb,
That ‘Missing Science’ report on missing Global Warming Theory is priceless.
Thanks. It made my Friday happier.

The Gruniad is not really a serious paper and “Private eye” magazine found this out decades ago (before the pause incidentally, but in the midst of the Ice Age scare, remember that).
It is a comfort blanket for the feeble minded watermelons and self hating middle class types.
When they find “Climate Change” they will adjust it, magnify it and say their is no denying it.
The Guardian Friday 12 December 2014:
“….. whale poo helps reverse the effects of climate change.”
No…kidding?
FUNDING of their Global Climate Change Business is their most important product. pg
Global warning use to be lots. Hope they can fun it again.

Suzanne Goldenberg,
Your use of the word ‘find’ was accurate and honestly reported. Thank you in that regard.
But it does not appear to me that you were even close to being accurate and honest in reporting the Lima conference’s intention is to provide a global agreement that is a ‘clear blueprint’. Obscure bureaucratic fuzzy speak is more likely the Lima conference’s intention instead; fuzzy speak which reasonable people cannot understand enough to clearly oppose thus suits the purpose of creeping increases in controls on fossil fuels by obscure political processes. Clear blueprints are unlikely to have been the intention of the Lima conference because clear blueprints that can be understood by reasonable independently critical people will be easily stopped by such reasonable people.

Hey, they created it the first time…
…have they lost the recipe or something ?
The caption from the Grauniad picture above quotes that heavy-weight of international diplomacy, the Foreign Minister of the Marshall Islands. Tony de Brum’s other famous line is “De plane, de plane, izzz here!””
joelobryan,
Feynman (author of the well known Cargo Cult Science lecture) would be laughing is ass off at your comment if he were still alive. Well done.
Meanwhile you have delighted Cargo Cult worshippers with the false hope that there is an imminent arrival of their long awaited cargo on ‘de plane’.
John
editorial correction; “laughing
ishis ass off ”John
Warms the cockles of me heart, it does….
Re-assuring to know that some things never change : The Grauniad’s proof-reading still operates at the same level of competence as its fact-checking.

The loss of ‘climate change,’ is not only unprecedented, it’s also catastrophic too and it’s a travesty that we can’t account for it. But I guess it’s pause for thought? Lots of pause in fact!
Let’s Play Hide and Seek – You Don’t Care a Bit…
Surely that’s the role of the IPCC
Lost in space.
I have been watching the 2010 movie Animals United that takes place during COP 192, and apparently only half a dozen people show up. By the way, that movie has got to be the worst animated movie in the history of the world.
I’m sure our best minds are working on it, they’ll find it, even if they have to probe the depths of the oceans.
Its just gotta be somewhere.
It can run, but it can’t hide.
Yes indeed. They have “top men” working on it right now:
Perhaps a sequel is needed: “Raiders Of The Lost Climate”.
Great Caesar’s ghost, Clark!
Aren’t they still looking for the AWOL “hot-spot” in the tropical mid-troposphere? Kinda suggests the likelihood of finding ‘climate change’ by next year is not promising.
This is an opportunity for Hollywood warmists. Never mind “Find Nemo”, go for “Find Climate Change”
John Whitman December 12, 2014 at 11:24 am quoted:
{bold emphasis mine – JW}
“Reporter Suzanne Goldenberg (of the Guardian) in Lima said,
“The talks – scheduled to end at noon local time on Friday after 10 full days – are intended to provide a clear blueprint for a global agreement to find climate change by the end of next year.””
I am puzzled. Is a ‘clear blueprint’ a blue piece of paper with no white marks – or is it a white sheet of paper with no blue marks – totally clear? It is not clear to me.
Perhaps Mrs Goldenberg has been confused by reminiscences of “The Hunting of the Snark” –
“The Bell Mann himself they all praised to the skies—
Such a carriage, such ease and such grace!
Such solemnity, too! One could see he was wise,
The moment one looked in his face!
He had bought a large map representing the sea,
Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
A map they could all understand.
“What’s the good of Mercator’s North Poles and Equators,
Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?”
So the Bell Mann would cry: and the crew would reply
“They are merely conventional signs!
“Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes!
But we’ve got our brave Captain to thank:”
(So the crew would protest) “that he’s bought us the best—
A perfect and absolute blank!””
With apologies to Professor Dodgson.
Dudley Horscroft,
I loved your reference to Lewis Carroll’s (Dodgson’s) poem.
Clear blueprint, indeed food for thought.

They changed it to: for a global agreement to fight climate change by the end of next year.
but no mention in the article a change was made, very unethical,1984 style of journalism.
I wonder if putting “Climate Change” on a billion or so milk cartons is part of the blueprint?
How about “Guardashian?”
