Josh writes: On Wednesday the BBC’s Newsnight interviewed Emma Thompson on the newsworthy topic of left wing activists protesting about drilling for oil in the Arctic. And refugees. And voting for Jeremy Corbyn, hopeful candidate for the Leadership of the UK Labour Party.
Emma clearly did not have a clue what she was talking about – even Richard Betts, from the UK Met Office, said she was wrong (good on you, Richard). Ed Hawkins, Climate Scientist, also tweeted “what Emma Thompson said was scientifically inaccurate & implausible.”
Sadly Emma had not got the memo on coal not being the ‘dirtiest’ fuel. It isnt, biofuels and wood burning stoves are worse – the Guardian is not very keen on them either.
Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis suggested Emma get herself arrested. Hmm.
[Update: added Ed’s Tweet]

To paraphrase Homer Simpson: “Celebrities! Is there anything they don’t know?”
“I’m very torn, I mean, the Labour Party have been… useless,”
UK posters, tell me what I’m missing here. The Labour party had the biggest UK climate change (to use their phony terminology) liar ever as leader for the last election. Of course he was useless, but what’s she on about …. ?
That should read – “but what’s she on …. ?”
Ha ha yes, a trip, a multi-decadal guilt trip. With Ed Davey, they had the perfect climate liar combo. I guess they just didn’t lie hard enough.
Emma’s repeated use of “If we allow” tells me she is ….. BATSHIT CRAZY.

If only WUWT had a dollar for every time someone said the temps would rise more than they have, and a thousand dollars for every day the cold records outnumbered the warm, and ten pounds of perfectly useful bat guano for every time a spoiled Boomer actor or actress said we must all reduce our energy use.
Remember, Malificent says leave those mineral resources in the ground!

Now that is getting your money’s worth from Hollywood.

For my little spot on the globe in 2007 most of the record highs were set before 1950 and most of the record lows were set after 1950.
I don’t think that’s the case now but I do find it odd that for a given day some of the new record highs are lower than the old ones and some of the new record lows are higher than the old ones.
Well maybe we need a little Congressional oversight of your thermometer and your data.
😎 Wouldn’t hurt.
But it wasn’t my thermometer. The lists of record highs and lows came from the NWS.
Here’s the current list.

I got the 2007 list from there in 2007.

Emma ‘daarling’ Thompson says she doesn’t know if the President of the United States will listen to her. He would not, because he is just as culpably ill-informed and just as enthusiastic to spread climate garbage as Mzzz T herself. Whereas ET’s ‘clueless’ distortion of consensus climate science ‘facts’ might suck in a few more wavering luvvies, celebrity idolaters, and closet lefties, Obama is in a position to press the Green self-destruct button on the American economy in order to save us all from a Thermageddon rescheduled to start next Thursday.
Worst yet you should hear what she said of superhero movies… shocking!
She said she will hang hang herself if there is another spiderman movie. We’ll see.
Maybe a turning point
