Guest essay by Eric Worrall
h/t DailyCaller – British researchers have claimed that global warming strongly influences our taste in music.
According to FirstPost;
Fancy listening to the Beatles’ ‘Here Comes The Sun’ when you are grinding out yet another long, sweaty heatwave? “These assumptions we have about certain weather being good and certain weather being bad, like sun being good — that might change,” researcher Karen Aplin of the University of Oxford said at a European Geosciences Union meeting in Vienna.
Aplin and five other scientists combed through databases of more than 15,000 pop songs, finding statistical backing for the assumption that our moods are strongly swayed by the weather. These emotions, in turn, are expressed in the music artists compose and what the public likes to hear.
I guess its not difficult to find a better proxy than tree rings.
My question, if we apply this principle to films as well as songs, what can we infer from recent films which express fear of ice and snow, like The Day after Tomorrow, or even the children’s film Frozen? Might scientists in the future, consider popular culture to be a better proxy for global temperature, than massively “adjusted” and probably defective official temperature records?

British Researchers, you must be kidding me.
Oh jeez! you should see what happens when you google “climate change playlist”.
Oh jeez! is right. Wow. If anyone sees this and thinks to try it, don’t do it!!!!!
It’s been said to be the magic molecule.
Music be the food of GIGO
So they’ve seen the clouds from both sides now?
Pop music is certainly as evanescent as the weather. Whenever I feel the need to reassure my faith in the reliability of climate, I always turn to Vivaldi’s Quattro Staggione and Haydn’s Jahreszeiten.
Hear hear!

Apply for a grant to study something that can’t be (dis)proven, and spend the money on women and booze.
Disney’s Frozen is now a sign of Climate Change?
Not everything is about science or politics.
Let it go.

Or this one with an alternate universe……..
So what came first? The music or the PR?
Or is the music part of the PR?
When the Levee Breaks
When it comes to ‘climate change’, one piece of music comes to mind:

Apologies to our American friends, who may not be familiar with the English slang “Bollocks”.

Taxpayer funded “science” jobs I assume?
Oh Dear, they found statistical backing for an assumption. I’ll bet they also came up with a bunch of “wee p values” that Mat Briggs likes so much.
With rock-solid proof like this, it must be added to the Warmlist!

There’s an option to read more of the study.
I actually wish i could push a button and read less of this kind of nonsense!
Here ya go.

Hehe, I tried to post a version of this earlier.
Half those kids are now at NOAA, NASA, CRU, etc.
This was a pre-faked Moon landing, mind control experiment.
Off/Sarc.
According to some of my friends, my taste in music could use some “adjustment”. (Homogenization?)
I just hate all music.

Fine.
Imagine poor ole me.
I hear it, and I analyze it as a bunch of squeaks, blats, bloots, blares, straangs, strums, strongs, schreaches and screams, blits, blats (and more strums) blares and other strange individual noises all coming out at the same time like a pile of dumped frequencies and resonances of louder and not-so-loud simultaneous noises.
Seems like they could save time and energy by just transmitting the entire concert in 10 seconds at the same time if everybody played everything as loud as they could at the start. Then they could stop, pack up the instruments, and go home.
I assume other people hear “music” somehow.

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing down the back roads headin’ south.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You’re an idiot, babe.
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

“scientists combed through databases of more than 15,000 pop songs . . .”
SELECT ALL FROM “PopSongs” and “SPM”
WHERE CO2 > 180 and
WHERE weather => “extreme_scary” or
WHERE pH > “freightening” or
WHERE sea_level_rise > 0.0001mm
ORDER BY “catastrophic_adjusted_temp”
Yeah mahn, when it be warming I’m all into Marley and Jamaica mahn… gotta go, the ganga is getting cold 😉
I can probably save someone some money here …
This British Researcher thinks that Climate Change is affecting the quality of science papers – and not in a good way.
Global Warming Belief will affect your brain, by turning it to mush.
