This is the equivalent of a modem day book burning.
As reported on WUWT on Tuesday, New book from Dr. Roy Spencer on Al Gore’s fallacies: An Inconvenient Deception – How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy – Al Gore has provided a target-rich environment of deceptions in his new movie.
Now, Dr. Spencer reports his website drroyspencer.com has become inoperable due to attacks:
Hell hath no fury like an alarmist scorned. I’ve been the victim of The Wrath of Gore too..
After Climategate, WordPress.com reported that all advertising they sponsor via Google Adwords was inexplicably pulled from their servers whenever it was displayed on WUWT. When wordpress.com executives requested a meeting with Google to explain this, it was at first granted, then canceled 24 hours later with no explanation and attempts to reschedule fell on deaf ears.
Mr. Gore of course, is on the board of directors for Google.
So let’s send these fools a message, by Dr. Spencer’s book: entitled An Inconvenient Deception: How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy

The most popular way to shut down a website is a Distributed Denial Of Service (DDOS) attack. Basically, a bunch of infected computers all try to contact the victim website at the same time and it can’t handle the traffic. The zombie computers doing the attack are called a botnet.
A DDOS attack is not free. link You have to pay the hackers who created the botnet. The fact that the DDOS attack on Dr. Spencer’s website didn’t last very long indicates that the perpetrators didn’t have deep pockets. It probably cost them less than a hundred bucks.
Not only did I buy the book, I used the Amazon Gift card my CO2 is harmful environmentalist daughter gave me for my birthday.
I like your style!

Try again. I just did. Worked fine
The Al Gore effect is alive and well where I live, St. Cloud, MN Ever since his new movie came out it turned cold!!!
From the SCSU Meteorology dept:
Getting Closer to one of the 10 Coldest Augusts
Even our sunny days aren’t enough to push the August temperature warmer. Thanks in great part to yesterday morning’s 47-degree low, the St. Cloud August temperature has dropped to 64.7 degrees, 3.9 degrees below average. The most reachable of the 10 coolest Augusts in St. Cloud records are 1927 and 1950 with an average temperature of 64.4 degrees. The more clouds we have through the weekend, the closer we will get to top 10 status. Note from the chart that 20 of the 23 August days so far have had below average temperatures.
i want to go on record here saying no matter what harvey does and is at landfall the media IS going to call this a major hurricane………similar to the one that hit the east coast where NO hurricane force winds were found on land but it was still hyped as a category 2 at landfall.
You can bet money on that. Every weather event will be connected to CAGW, especially hurricanes. The alarmists see CAGW behind every rock.
Watch the opinion reporting concerning the current Gulf of Mexico fracas.
TA,
Don’t you mean, “The alarmists see CAGW from beneath every rock.”?
Dr. Spencer’s book is a great informative read.

Gore is a player. He knew the rules. Getting on the board of Google was not only for his own (shares) benefit.
I seem to recall when he was VP he promoted releasing military satellite pictures to the public.
Don’t know if theirs any connection to Google Maps or Google Earth.
TYPO!
“Don’t know if there’s…”
Anthony wrote, “Mr. Gore of course, is on the board of directors for Google.”
It’s well known that he’s on the board of Apple. Is he on Google’s board too? It would seem like a conflict of interest.
I would have a major concern about any company dumb enough to have Gore as a director.
He is a despicable piece of sh*t has been for several decades.
Good link to Roy’s book! Just need to find a linux app that can display a kindle e-book.
Looks like NHC is helping Gore too! They are now forecasting Harvey to be a major (>110 mph winds) for tomorrow (Friday). Looks like the “Hurricanes Striking US drought” will end on Saturday … unless!
Ha ha
Kindle app download is free. Don’t know if is self configuring, but autoboots no sweat on iOS on iPad.

Anthony,
“MODEM day book burning”?
(clyde, that one hurts… ☺)
It’s called fascism, plain and simple.
Fight-back purchase done!
DDoS attacks are common and can be organized by a very small group or possibly even a loner. This may be the work of a nutter (or 3) not a planned attack from “the other side”. Difficult to tell, even after the event. Best policy is have usefully strong DDoS defences.
As to advertising on sites the company, or third party, has the right to pull adverts for any reason whatsoever (unless contractually prohibited). You cannot really take issue with that but the complications surrounding targeted advertising with Google might throw up other consequences.
Censorship is endemic all over the internet now. Each little (or larger) fiefdom thinks it has the right to exclude certain opinions / persons because “It’s my blog and I set the rules”. Sometimes they think they can justify even the most hypocritical rules while proudly claiming open debate and criticising others. Climate blogs are no worse or better than other areas in my opinion (I lurk in many places!).
I run a few small chat groups myself (not related to climate) so am aware of the problems but am working towards a more open form of censorship/banning. We still get to keep out the trouble makers but everyone can see who is banned, when, why, what they say under right of reply etc. I think that is better than moderator snipping which keeps things invisible.
Spencer’s book certainly looks like an interesting read, must get a copy after my holiday. I’m Off-line for a week or so while I sample the climate in a country I have not been to before, see you all when I get back.
Badger.
Badger, i agree with those who censor. Blog owners are the ones who have to live with their blogs day in and day out. This takes an emotional tole as internet forums are an unnatural medium. So it’s a bloggers right and duty (to one’s self) to run a blog as he or she sees fit. If folks don’t like that, they can go to another blog or start their own. A blogger does not owe anything to anyone…
‘tole’ should read ‘toll’
Roy: 33% through your book there is a sentence with one or more missing words:
“But one might legitimately ask about global hurricane activity.”
For once, even Buzzfeed gets it right.
All the major services on the Internet — not just Google but Youtube, Yahoo, Facebook, and so on — have so little competition that they can effectively shut off our access to information (and especially our ability to act as publishers ourselves) whenever they feel like it. What’s worse, the 8 (or so) media conglomerates that control most TV, radio, phone, and publishing networks worldwide are trying to institute regulation to make it much harder for anybody new to enter those industries.
This must be resisted in every way possible. Creating competitors for these services (as Gab now competes with Twitter) helps, but not much, since both Apple and Google have banned the Gab app from their app stores for allowing uncensored “hate speech.”
I’ve started a petition to have the law prevent the Internet being closed this way.
Wouldn’t be surprised in 5 or so years if the internet is greatly controlled and restricted. Globalists, leftists, communists, control freaks, and similar ilk don’t like the freedom of speech it offers.
Kramer, the only problem with your opinion [jest?] that the collectivists will win out is that I and other free people own weapons. Collectivist takeovers of the political systems in the U.S. would be resisted by the common man having the means to defeat them. Over 300,000,000 guns and counting!
With current technologies, attempts by the collectivists to control information flows are identifiable by small actors. Small actors have and will reveal the machinations of global socialist actors in the of government arenas they try to manipulate. Brexit and Trump expose socialist weaknesses in the arenas of information manipulation.
Second Amendment rules!
Screw the collectivists. There still and always will exist real free men and women of determination that will defeat them.
Fahrenheit 451
Wiki says …
Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel by American writer Ray Bradbury, published in 1953. It is regarded as one of his best works.[3] The novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed and “firemen” burn any that are found.[4] The book’s tagline explains the title: “Fahrenheit 451 – the temperature at which book paper catches fire, and burns…”
And here I thought it was what Al Gore ( “et.al.”) keeps saying the temperature will be … tomorrow.
I was wondering about that. I check on him daily, but couldn’t get through. It’s no surprise.
As others have pointed out, there was an attack underway, but there is 0 evidence that it had anything to do with Spencer and his book, and strong evidence that it was designed to take down the service that was hosting a white supremacist page.
It is foolish to look at a situation with technical issues, and simply draw your conclusion based on ideology.
To avoid attacks linked to Al Gore, one must make an architectural addition to one’s home or office called a “Goregoyle” — basically, a little creepy looking demon statue that wards off the bad spirit of Mr. Gore.
The ad hom was extreme with attacks on his religious beliefs, with Galileo getting brought up often so let’s get a few things clear.
Jesuits were supporting Kepler as they argued with Galileo.
Galileo was pushing the models of Copernicus who was not persecuted but even rewarded for his work by the Pope at the time.
Galileo was given a stipend by the Pope to work on his ideas. If he hadn’t insulted his former friend and not tried to use the Bible to back up his ideas, he wouldn’t have been tried for heresy. As it was, the punishment was on par with being whipped by a wet lettuce.
The Ptolemaic model was quite good or at least no worse than the Copernicus model in predicting the movement of planets. As mentioned here, it saved Columbus by helping him predict a lunar eclipse. That predictive ability is all they had to judge scientifically the merits of models.
Roy: At the book’s end you dealt with Gore’s efforts to get India to use solar rather than coal. Here’s the latest on that:
Antifa/BLM, they are all about silencing people, just like google and apple. Leftist ideology is ALWAYS about crushing anything that does not submit to their sick assed, anti-human ideology.
