UPDATE: 8:30AM PST Sunday 2/12/17 This is some sort of glitch with WordPress.com, and it published last night instead of Eric Worrall’s piece on the French giving asylum to Climate Scientists. Is suspect it had something to do with me approving it on my phone, and having a weak signal.
It did make for an interesting discussion, however. I’ve added a featured image that sort of represents the discussion so far.
Carry on. – Anthony

You — are — RIGHT! 🙂
A message from Kenji:
Dear people. I messed up. HERE is the video I wanted Anthony to post for me. He said he was too tired to help me. And I tried and tried and TRIED. Grrr. Thanks to Janice, who LOVES dogs (growl), here you go!!!
Munchkin Wishes you a HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!! 🙂

Love (except I’m sort of mad at Anthony),

I’ve added a featured image that sort of represents the discussion so far.
Aaaarrrrrgh! ANTHONY! Enough teasing! 😉
(I can’t see the image — perhaps, others can?)
lol — there it is!

Eccentric and PROUD of it!!! 🙂
Want to cut into the regular scheduled programming to inform you that there is an emergency evacuation in effect for Oroville and the surrounding low lying areas in the impact zone of Oroville dam.
The emergency spillway is in danger of collapse.
THIS IS NO DRILL.
Good for you, Paper Tiger.
Just to help you out with your goodhearted posts:
Praying!!!
What’s up with this post? No content.
D’oh
Mr. Restin. Ahem! Please note the time Mr. Lento posted his comment. 🙂
(oooooooooo, OKAY, I won’t! 🙂 — almost posted Homer Simpson saluting you, Mr. R., but, I won’t say it…. — I, too, made an embarrassing mistake on this thread, down below (Ithoughtthiswasthetestthread) s(0.0)s.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
LAKE OROVILLE, Calif. – There is a mandatory evacuation order in place for low-lying levels of Oroville and areas downstream. It is an order for IMMEDIATE evacuation.
A hazardous situation is developing with the Oroville Dam auxiliary spillway. Operation of the auxiliary spillway has lead to severe erosion that could lead to a failure of the structure. Failure of the auxiliary spillway structure will result in an uncontrolled release of flood waters from Lake Oroville.
In response to this developing situation, DWR is increasing water releases to 100,000 cubic feet per second.
Immediate evacuation from the low levels of Oroville and areas downstream is ordered.
Its called an “ellipses”; must have something to do with the full moon…
Orbital parameters.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the WordPress hack I have read about?
Or maybe it was Kenji wot done it?
☺
Well, it is a kind of Zen comment.
Indeed, stare at it long enough and you see six dots. Twice the impact per doubling – what does that remind me of?
Blame it on the Russians
No way. It’s Trumps’ fault. He will destroy the world and Obummah will be the second coming to save us all, and the planet.
No, it was not the Russians. Big Coal was the malevolent force behind this.
It’s Pocahontas that will save the country.
A video about Elizabeth Warren’s lie to make sure all readers understand the “Pocahontas” allusion.
(Note: while Pocahontas was actually a Powhatan, not a Cherokee as Warren claims she is, the nickname is an apt appellation for one grandly claiming privileges based on a lie about being part American Indian. Further, please note that just as it does not demean a queen to paint the queen’s crown onto the exposé portrait of the lying poseur claiming a right to that crown, calling Warren “Pocahontas” belittles her, not American Indians (and finally, also note, in my experience, most Indians do not mind being called “Indians.”)

Nice one, MikeRestin! 🙂
I prefer “Liarwatha”.

Yes it was the Russians and they only require an exchange of Tennessee Whisky and Kentucky Bourbon for Russian Vodka. No harm to Kenji was done during this hack.
Possibly an open thread for Griff and friends.
What’s your view on this then Griff?
Ice death spiral…through a melting ice lens…
A very bad picture of me? My wife claims I’m increasingly eccentric…
Well she might just be onto something.
By the way Griff, if by any chance you do have doubts about the narrative (I myself was a full-blooded “believer” like yourself) than you’d be surprised at how welcoming the “other side” is.
Anyhoo, I beseech thee to try to take the perceptual lens you have and change it for something different.
Your wife just sent me this evidence to prove she is right (you out-eccentric me, by the way — congratulations). Oh, yes, indeed, she has my e mail address, just in case she needs us to give you a ride home. Hm? You are NOT drunk when you come to WUWT??
Oh. Well. Well, I guess it’s just that she’s always a bit concerned about you ……. and she knows we WUWTers (See jones) will help you out of your mental muddle….. if (sigh) you would only admit you need help. Here: learn this: “Hi! I’m Griff and I am a pseudo-science addict. I have been clean and sober for 3 days, now.” Come on, Griff! YOU — CAN — DO — IT! 🙂
You, at the family picnic last week.
It was a telling photo, too (not that she intended to out you, but, well, there it is for us all to see), you are ignoring something significant in your fervor to evangelize for the Holy Church of AGW:
water.
[snip -over the top -mod]
Yeah Mods, I know. Janice is a favourite of some on this website. She is far from a favourite of mine.
Alex, nobody is forcing you to be here.
Hey guys, give Griff a bit of a break here.
I think he was just trying to join in on the humor.
Alex, I don’t know what you said that was “over the top” but it seems that you don’t like Janice. Fine. Skip her comments.
I’m sure many skip mine and yours. Maybe EVERBODY skips mine. But he still allows them as long as they are within his site’s rules.
PS I am one who likes Janice’s comments but I would have said the same if you refereed to another regular commenter.
I believe this is a very trenchant comment on the being of nothingness and the nothingness of being. It is symbolic of the agonizing quiet of the neonate when facing the realities of life for the pre-born … compared with the work of Sartre or Proust, this post speaks volumes by its calm and penetrating silence. It is the true triumph of a post-scientific world.

Willis, sorry you are wrong,
It’s a new volume of ” Game of Thrones”
It is actually a blistering attack on that skeptical web blog WUWT, containing, as usual, nothing of substance, devoid of content, and proving absolutely nothing.
It contains every single concrete proof of CAGW ever submitted for independent expert review, and that last paragraph has the formula proving that the doubling of CO2 will raise global temperatures by 8.5 degrees C.
This formula can only be seen and comprehended by the truly faithful who will find it convincing, even with their eyes closed.
It is a wonderful contribution. Thanks Anthony.
I have heard two things about Singapore:
1 – Singapore would be impossible without air conditioning.
2 – The Chinese copied their economic policy from Singapore.
Is either of those true?
Willis, have you been reading Stephan Lewandowsky?
No! It’s a photo of a now-extinct (due to ClimateChange™) polar bear in a no-longer-occurring (due to ClimateChange™) snowstorm! The poley bear is also a mutant with three eyes (due to ClimateChange™).

So Anthony is 0.3333 in trouble?
Maybe it is Skippy and he really is in trouble?
Skippy spoke in clicks. Can anyone remember if 3 clicks means stuck in the mine or fallen down the well?
FYI (for me and all who had not heard of Skippy, the Australian “Lassie” (1950’s U.S. TV show where little Timmy falls into wells and mines and stuff)):
Skippy the Bush Kangaroo 🙂
(youtube)
For a fun time, go to youtube and use “Lassie, Timmy fell in the well” for a search term. LOTS of dogs know ALL about it! And there’s proof! On video 🙂 ).
Just ONE example:

Thank you, Anthony for this FUN thread! If I “lol’d” and “+1’d” all the GREAT COMMENTS above, I’d get ol’ Wunders. yelling at me for hogging the thread! 🙂 Heh. Maybe I will just do it anyway….. Ha! Take that, you Wunder sameasever. 🙂
Ooops! Forgot where I was — “GREAT COMMENTS above AND BELOW” {on the thread}
Three clicks means “I’m hungry, feed me grants.”
Have you seen this on the Guardian? Pseudo-science at its most silly.
Humans causing climate to change 170 times faster than natural forces.
The Drake Equation did it first.
It takes a load of unknowable parameters, gives them arbitrary values and makes them into a sciency looking equation.
For the Drake Equation it says there must be aliens out there. Because they want to believe.
The Anthropocene is the same. With a touch of “Mike’s Nature Trick” spliced in.
Read the comments.. truly hilarious that some of the out of work baristas and failing art students are actually believing it. !
Are you saying the Drake Equation isn’t really science? 🙂
Wrong, since AGW is 110% of the measured trend (says Gavin S).
So not 170, but -10 times. They got sign wrong at the Garduian, typical for them.
I couldn’t bear it. All that earnest and self assured 5th form debate…are all guardian readers terminally naïve?
Well, they pay good money to read that b.s. so if naive is a fancy word for stupid then yes,I’d say they’re naive.
Naïve is a bit more like unknowing. It’s also age-related. Younger people can get away with pleading naïvete. Old people are just stupid. Synonyms for naïve include ignorant, untutored, and green.
Or as they say … *** …

LOL.
Well , we really didn’t want to see that part. It’s a family friendly website.
unperfect world – lots of polar bears, where’s the beer attacks.
It’s a comprehensive compendium of the evidence that anthropogenic CO2 drives sea-level rise, as seen in this graph:

A remark on the missing heat.
Sigh. I don’t have this many comments TOTAL for my blog…
Brilliant post!
I created a blog once some years back. I used it half a dozen times. Just visited yours…. work on your writing my friend, just like I should be doing. Your stories will last long after all blogs have gone.
Thank you for the encouragement…
A blog is (one of) the basic marketing tools – when done correctly. I seem to have a muse sitting to one side of me, and Murphy on the other side. Trying to get back to it now.
Second string, put it in the contact form too – Anthony, somehow when I replied to ClimateOtter through the WP notices, I had the permission to “unapprove” him as a commenter – not good. Let me know if you want the screenshot…
Ah, after replying – the permission disappeared again. But you might want to check this out; Lord knows there are the malicious types out there that would LOVE to cause havoc here.
