From the “♪ There she is, misssss climatology… ♫” department. You just can’t make this stuff up.
Dr. Roy Spencer advises me of this:
The president of our university forwarded some flashy brochures he received from Virendra Rawat, Indian founder and director of the global “Green Schools” concept. They are auditioning for young females to compete to become “Miss Climate – 2018”.
As the letter states, “winners of this beauty pageant will serve as Global Ambassador of Climate Change”:
Dr. Spencer asks some hilarious questions:
QUESTIONS:
1) Can contestants self-identify as female, 18-25, and of minimum height 5’5″ tall?
2) Is the former IPCC director Rajendra Pachauri involved in this in any way? It sounds like something he’d have some interest in.
3) Will the contestants’ knowledge of global environmental concerns be up to the standards of, say, the world peace concerns of the Miss America contestants?
4) Given the global warming theme, will there be a — ahem — heat level requirement of some type for contestants?
5) Will Anthony Watts enter his dog Kenji in the competition? (At least Kenji is a card-carrying member of the Union of Concerned Scientists).
Perhaps I should, he’s got the hair for it:

Can we expect to hear in depth analysis like such:
“I personally believe that U. S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such …”
Well, now if you think about it the use of “U.S. Americans” by that beauty contestant was in fact a very accurate description of what she was talking about. She was made the butt of jokes for saying it, but I would have voted for her to be the winner because she was the best looking one of the bunch! 🙂
Looks like they want more of an uptick in the hockey stick.
I don’t know what that means. lol

Let’s hope these Climate Models resemble reality.
Will swimsuits be part of the contest?
Yes – Climate Models you can believe in!
Kenji looks like a skunk, with some additional hybridization. Good entry.
Oh my. That’s not exploitative and sexist at all.
“Miss Climate” is ludicrous. Should be Miss Anthropocene.
I thought we had agreed – ‘Miss Adjustocene’!

Kenji is seriously beautiful though.
But how much does he contribute to warming?
Perhaps all contestants must be neutered? Children are bad for the climate as we know.
1) Can contestants self-identify as female, 18-25, and of minimum height 5’5″ tall?
That is a fairly broad category in today’s world of gender choice.
Just sayin’….
It’s discriminatory if old, short contestants can “self-identify” as 18-25 and over 5’5″ tall.
72 virgins, eh !!
Good luck.

Yes; but all tail gunners are male I believe!
Will there also be a Miss deplor-able denihilist and what would she look like? Will they fight to the death with hockey sticks?
she can have a spa day with Ms. Winter Wheat and Ms. Snow Peas
NO BIKINI COMPETITION!!!
(and Anthony, please put some clothes on that contestant, I’m offended, especially as a former member of the Union of Concerned Scientists… who for the most part, should not be seen in bikinis anyway)
One of the competitions they will have is the FOIA Dodge Ball Event. Contestants will stand in the middle of a circle and try to dodge FOIA balls thrown by the CEI and the Heartland Institute.
But only vote for the one who is “Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!”

“Beauty isn’t about looking perfect”….”it is about respecting the climate around you”
But wait……ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA (from the picture):
Age = 18-25 (the younger you are the better, “legal” of course)
Status = Unmarried (because that is important to Climate?)
Height = 5’5 MINIMUM (Short chicks need not apply)
Education = 10+2 minimum (so you can count to twelve or possibly higher?)
Nationality = UN holder (so you can travel the world on a plane)
My my, there is not one eligibility criteria mentioned that RESPECTS the climate, SUCH AS A LOW F’N CARBON FOOT PRINT. You cannot make this stuff up.
The Climateclean store has its amusing moments. See number 2 in the wheel: http://www.climateclean.store/images/post-img-large-105.jpg
I would only be interested if she was likely to come across with a bit of chat up .
Miss Climate is a model. Or .. all the climate models are amiss.
+42 (…as we’re wont to say here)
rip
I don’t see why Kenji can’t identify as a young female human.
If gender identity is socially determined, how can species identity claim privilege?
SJW, inc.ᵀᴹ needs to step up to species-imperialism and the abusers pushing transspeciesphobia.
Biology: the next target of post-modern subjectivist attack.
It’s alread been attacked, Pat. They use Gender instead of Sex now, ALL the time.
I try to stay abreast of what is politically correct but this is confusing. I though climate change was a feminist issue. Are beauty pageants a feminist institution now? I must have misread something somewhere but I thought they were on the “bad, no cookie for you” list.
The phrase, “stay abreast”, is clearly sexist, Andy P. The gender-neutral alternative is “stay achest”.
Also, physical beauty is relative and culturally determined. Swim-suit standards are plainly prejudicial, therefore. What counts is the beauty inside, … the person inside.
The appearance of the person outside has nothing whatsoever to do with the … “person inside”. There’s this amorphous, ghost-like entity floating underneath our physical skin, TOTALLY disconnected from the physicality that our primitive senses register. I cannot yet prove this, because I have not yet assembled the necessary synthetic supporting data. I’m working on a grant to rectify this shortcoming, as I type.
Sexism much? Progressives? Ahh the irony and hypocrisy! LOL
Has anyone asked the feminist glaciologists their opinion of this? Or are they all signed up to be contestants?
How incredibly un-PC.
Nah, frozen out
First, I’d say “Has anyone asked the feminist glaciologists their opinion of this?” is the thread winner (as of the time of this comment).
Second, I’d guess they’re having a cow about now.
(Glaciers calve and all that.)
the second one is pretty.
Words can only fail. Especially when facts will not be in evidence.
OT, but needs to be written up for discussion. …https://climatechangedispatch.com/president-trump-has-broken-the-spell-of-climate-change-mania/
Didn’t notice that this was from June, but had not heard about this prior.
BELIEVE…ACHIEVE…
Just like the hokey preachers and mystics (but I repeat myself) of long (or not so long) ago,
Nothing’s changed. Exactly the same as religions today.
