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?

What amuses me most about “research” like this is that the more they do this shtick to scare us into their way of thinking, the more the average person comes around to questioning their position. This constant bombardment of obviously stupid attempts, even to the lightly educated, to link everything to global warming has actually hurt their credibility so much that they are starting to look like caricatures instead of scientists. Not even good anime caricatures. The fact that they don’t seem to realize it only adds to their diminishing credibility.
I’ve had an earful of global warming…..
…so let’s call the whole thing off… Tah-Dah!
