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.

Hacking into WUWT is a serious offence, not to be recommended !

Vukcevic. LOL.
Funny, but…. I’m afraid this brief analogy is not likely to help your reputation as an expert on climate (i.e., UNLIKE WUWT, that Anthony had nothing worthwhile to post).
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.

It is a secret code to all sceptics to get prepared for the imminent start of a new Ice Ace.
“The Earth’s orbit varies between nearly circular and mildly elliptical (its eccentricity varies). When the orbit is more elongated, there is more variation in the distance between the Earth and the Sun, and in the amount of solar radiation, at different times in the year”
Increasing eccentricity means far less solar radiation in the N. Hemisphere’s summers, the winter ice fails to melt, the Ice age is imminent.
There you have it.
I am surprised that Giff hasn’t pointed out the errors in this post.
But then again maybe it is his apology to Dr. Susan Crockford?
Here’s the content you were looking for:
To clarify, I’m not alluding to the mathematical sense of the word, but rather the behavioral sense of the word:
eccentricity — an oddity or peculiarity, as of conduct.
Fear of catastrophe from CO2 is an oddity, then, wouldn’t you say?
… and increasingly funny.
Even funnier is that NASA apparently has a whole instructional module about how to defend against the CO2-warming claim:

Well, Mr. Kernodle (nice humor and graphic, btw 🙂 ),
some people are delightfully {taking a bow} eccentric…
and others are:
Just plain stupid.
(youtube — “The planet has a fever.”)
Okay. Gore is just a run-of-the-mill con man, not overly bright, but, not stupid. Those who believe him are.
(youtube)
And, re: the climate thugs at NASA, some are just plain evil.
Uh…I don’t get it. What does the graph have to do with an open thread?
Hi, Pamela,
I may be mis-reading what you meant, but, in case I understood you:
When this thread was first posted in the middle of the PST night, and for over 7 hours after, the only content in the post (by Anthony) was “… .” So, we all just cracked jokes about it (and were a bit concerned, too, as hour 7 rolled around). That is, it wasn’t really an “open thread,” we just sort of turned it into one. Mr. Kernodle’s comment, if that’s what you are referring to, is just expanding on Anthony’s funny graphic above (for quite awhile, Anthony’s eccentric circle image was not visible, at least to me …. another little glitch, perhaps, lol).
HOPING the above info. is helpful to you. Apologies if I misunderstood your question.
THIS Valentine’s Day should be a very special one for you, I think 🙂 (smiling and smiling and smiling for you).
Take care,
Janice
Oh no! An open Humor Thread! I suck at this kind of thing.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iEIuXb1c9rQ
lol, Pamela, you do NOT suck at this, and, (lol, the irony…) it was the jerk who posted it to youtube — refusing to let us watch it here (even though it is a very public video!).
Your video was better for “deer in the headlights,”
but, here’s one for a “Plan B” for your EXCELLENT humor. 🙂
(youtube)
Thanks for the neat video to watch (I went youtube and watched it). 🙂
This mistake (WordPress, Anthony, whatever) has become so humorous because it is not real. A mistake. The mistake of CAGW is not so funny.
(Wish I knew how to change the title of https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/02/12/164142/#comment-2423663 from “Godzilla” to “Gorezilla.”)
Guess I should have worked for NASA or have been a Mann underling to obtain the expertise to change the past.
I put part of my PowerPoint Presentation online.

Gore got a Nobel Prize (and a bunch of bucks) for his PowerPoint mess.
Being noble may not always carry a cash prize with it, but it does make it easier to sleep at night.
Elmer, you’re my hero. I’m kidding. But not really very much.
Thanks, Its been 10 years if you can believe it.
Here’s the video that started it all and by the way this isn’t me.
https://youtu.be/DqyXlc9-2jI
You guys might get a kick out of this one too.
Elmer,
That video was fascinating. I have no idea whether or not this is a plausible deductive theory or not, but, the detective story sure is neat. 🙂
I just read the comments on youtube beneath the above video. I wish someone would address infantryhawks’ question directly (it had yet to be, as of a few minutes ago) about why the runic syntax so closely resembled late 1800’s Swedish (as opposed to c. 1390’s Swedish). The carbon dating response by Elroy there did not address infantry’s question completely.
I have a feeling that you are legit, elmer, so, I’m posting this link for your gofundme here for WUWT readers’ convenience. I hope you can raise enough for this interesting historical sleuthing!

Thank you for sharing,

P.S. lol, that photo is hilarious — at least ol’ Hilde took the cigarette out of her mouth. 🙂
I answer that question later in the comments, I think Scott Wolter does a good job answering this question by traveling to the island of Gotland and found those Runes on grave slabs carved in the 14th Century. He made another documentary and wrote a book about it called the Hooked X.

That image is of my Great Grandfather his mother and his wife who came over from Norway in the mid 1800’s. It was a tough life.
So…instead of Columbus being the guy who ruined America it’s now the Vikings?! 😎
Not meaning to be picky, but, there was a line used that I’ve heard used in other context along the lines of “This will change history”.
Well, no. History is what happened. What might change is what we, today, know about it.
Some might say that history is the study of past events and this discovery could cause the history books to be reprinted and they hate doing that.
Elmer, isn’t that why they invented Wikipedia? To change things as the editors will? 😎
PS I thought the Irish got here from Europe first. They settled in Kentucky. That’s why it has the best bourbon.
The image seems to describe my life…
Dear Mr. Hansen,
With the “en,” it’s Norwegian or Danish, I think? I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope, somehow, you can spend as little time with the two to your left as possible. We all have “poison people” enter our lives from time to time. They can only hurt you (and you cannot do any good to them — that takes a miracle). If they are living in your home, that is so sad. You have, thus, no loving “home” — it has been invaded. Stay away — MOVE if you can!
It is far better to be lonely and peaceful than with others and miserable. If they need assistance — hire someone!
And, I have a sinking feeling that you really have very little choice in the matter.
I take back every hard thing I have said of you, Mr. Hansen. I know, believe me, what it is to live with such people. You have my heartfelt sympathy — and prayers from now on.
You may not crave affection as I do (being a stoic Scandihoovian, 🙂 ), but, you DO deserve to be respected and valued. GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED (or, at least, treated with kindness and common courtesy — or, at the VERY least, where you have peace).
Take care.
Your WUWT friend,
Janice
In the meantime, hang out with us at WUWT (we get kind of silly kind of angry kind of creepy kind of hyper-serious sometimes… but, we are always, deep down
(some so deep that it still hasn’t been observed, but I still have hope for you EVEN THOUGH YOU MAKE ME SO MAD I YELL AT YOU SOMETIMES (and you know who you are, all of you, lol))
full of love.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! 🙂
(friends can give Valentines, too, you know 🙂 — just women do that??? Hm. You’re right… and that’s too bad… but, well, lol, that’s just the way things are… and vive la difference)
Janice ==> Thank you for your heartfelt comment and good counsel.
Hansen in my case is Danish — but many generations ago when my soldier-of-fortune great-great-grandfather came to settle in America, after fighting for the Prussians and then for the British in India.
In reality, I only meant the caption of the image, “Increasing Eccentricity” — a joke my wife and I share. My wife and I live on our sailboat — a 42 foot catamaran — and have spent 10 of the last 13 years doing humanitarian work in the Northern Caribbean (DR, PR, USVI, BVI). As you know, for the last couple of years, I have been occasionally writing here at WUWT and over at Judith Curry’s.
Your concern and advice sound professional. Are you a counselor? I was once, myself, in a place far away and a time long ago — and your advice is good and sound — those who listen to you will benefit.
Thank you for your caring and desire to help others, an attribute to be valued above all others.
Kip
consider this one of those huge thumbs up emojis. !*!
Really like your insight and respectful postings Janice.You’re just so……….good……………. at delivering a message/common truth, via your excellent graphic writing skills, lets say.
Ej! THANK YOU! How kind of you to take the time to tell me that (esp. after reading a certain inexplicably angry man’s remark about me — I can very well understand that my personality rubs some people the wrong way, but why so angry?). Well, YOU are a first class coach/encourager. And SO creative with the use of symbols. I could see that thumb’s up Tribble-like “person.” Nice! 🙂
Say, you sound just like my WUWT friend, EJ — is Ej “EJ”? If so, still praying about the new goal and about getting past the past…., etc..
Take care.
Janice
Janice,
“Say, you sound just like my WUWT friend, EJ — is Ej “EJ”? If so, still praying about the new goal and about getting past the past…., etc..”
One and the same. Just had to re-enter details after a computer clean and Ej is still EJ
Happy Valentines Day ! Janice !
Hi, Kip,
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. You are welcome (even though you did not need it — smile). I appreciate your generous assessment of my counseling ability. No, I’m not even a semi-professional/volunteer counselor. I’ve just encountered much helpful advice via some very difficult people (and the counseling I experienced with them) or via troubled friends and their counselors and read a LOT and did a little research and attended some NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill) classes (to try to help and to cope with some difficult people). And, you are right: caring goes a long way.
What a WONDERFUL life you and your wife have created! Here’s to the next 10 years! 🙂
Take care,
Janice
Hi, EJ,
Good to know! Happy Valentine’s Day to you, too, dear woman with SO much ability and talent and intelligence who has GREAT THINGS AHEAD for her!
Your WUWT friend,
Janice

I guess this counts as increasingly eccentric.
Sorry, TM. Your diagram is just a mess.
This drawing has more observation-based information in it than that diagram has.

And now over to Gavin O’Hansen at the climate center for the latest weather and what it means –.
“If the droughts continue to be between the rain, fog, and snow the models say even more weather will dominate the climate, and scientists are very, very concerned that it will never settle till all future generations have paid our dues.”
