More of that universal consensus on global warming in action:
Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by…
By whom?
What bunch of tea bagging wing nuts released this bit of heresy?
…the [UK] Met[eorology] Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.
Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th Century, the sun is now heading towards a ‘grand minimum’ in its output, threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season available for growing food.
It might be lonely at those “Nuremberg Trials for Denialists”.
Lonely and cold.

Climatology! The Wonder Science! It doesn’t depend on that old-fashioned scientific process of observation, hypothesis, and experiment, yet it produces results which are Incontrovertible!

“Social Science is stupid”
Fixed it for ya;.

That’s what I love about SitD. One gets all sides of the argument with AngryClown commenting here on behalf of the Religious Left and pre-school children.
AC – Don’t forget to speak out on behalf of da poley bears fwoating on der wittle hunks of ice.

Here’s some interesting information. According to Danish archaeologists working in Greenland, it appears Erik the Red and other early Viking settlers may have been able to raise small grains like barley, 1000 years ago. http://www.icenews.is/index.php/2012/01/28/evidence-suggests-vikings-grew-grain-in-south-greenland/#ixzz1krxZq9Mx
Which would mean it was warmer than it is now. And yet, strangely, the world did not come to a catastrophic end. In fact, it was rather a nice time in European history. Lots of food. Culture flourished.

Science is stupid when it disagrees with the religion of the environmentalists. I(n this case, it’s East Anglia reversing it’s position based on science. Expect a huge document leak showing that they fabricated the data.
January 30th, 2012 at 9:00 am
Polar bears floating on little hunks of ice?
They aren’t in danger, are they, Seflores? Are they?
ARE THEY?
January 30th, 2012 at 9:05 am
That’s not how it works Kermit. They will instead say that it was an innocent mistake. An blue-ribbon of their peers (such as they are) will then announce that it was an unfortunate accident, but obviously not a case of scientific misconduct.
Then every lefty blog in the world will feature a post headlined:
BLUE RIBBON PANEL EXONERATES CLIMATE SCIENTISTS
January 30th, 2012 at 9:41 am
You mean the same lefty blogs that ignored the East Anglia emails discussing ways to “modify” the data to support AGW?
January 30th, 2012 at 9:49 am
But they were EXONERATED, Kermit. BY A BLUE RIBBON PANEL!
January 30th, 2012 at 12:06 pm
the science is settled, settled I tell you!
January 30th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
It’s funny watching you far-right kooks pretend to be all sciencey. I can’t wait for the Wingnut Museum of Science to install a diorama of Terry, Kermie and Seflores receiving their Nobel Prizes (in SCIENCE!) right next to the one with Jesus and his pet dinosaur.
January 30th, 2012 at 12:43 pm
far-right kooks…
…like East Anglia CRU?
January 30th, 2012 at 12:56 pm
What would a Burbot like AssClown know about science?
January 30th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
so AC why are they wrong since you are clearly smarter than they are? We are simply showing data and proof that global warming hysteria was at best a misguided attempt to do something about a non-existant problem and at worse an excuse to put in crippling regulations that will destroy the fragile world economy now. Talk to the people up in Fairbanks AK about global warming, after hitting -50F this weekend I’m sure they would be eager to hear you and your hot air.
January 30th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Bwaaaaaahahahahahahaha(TOLD YA, Dim-Wits!)hahahahahahahahaahahahahaha(coff, coff) hahahahahahahahahahaha(Dolts!)hahahahahahahahaahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!
(We interrupt this mocking laughter for this public service announcement)
Don’t be bitter, AssClown. This time there’s a moonbat village sized platter of shit tacos…enough so you don’t have to fight Don Shelby for one. Enjoy ’em; you earned ’em!!
(We now return to our regularly scheduled mocking laughter)
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha(morons!)hahahaaaaaaaaaa!
January 30th, 2012 at 2:40 pm
East Anglia CRU, whoever they are, say whatever they say. Angryclown doesn’t care – in fact global warming sounds like a pretty good deal this time of year. He just knows wingnuts well enough to realize that whenever science conflicts with their wacky beliefs, they’ll leave science in a shallow grave by the Interstate.
January 30th, 2012 at 2:46 pm
East Anglia CRU, whoever they are
They were among the big proponents of the idea that climate change was caused by humans. Their research has been questioned; they were also involved with the emails among “scientists” trying to jigger the numbers.
January 30th, 2012 at 2:47 pm
Angryclown is a simple street busker, Ben Dover. he leaves science to the scientists. If you had any sense, you’d do the same. Of course, if you far-right redneck types ever decide to keep your infernal pieholes shut when you don’t know what you’re talking about, poor Mitch won’t have a comments section.
January 30th, 2012 at 3:36 pm
It is of course very bad news for the global warming catastrophe movement, which has (temporarily) run out of ideas on which to base its philosophy of looting. First came Malthusian mass starvation (Paul Ehrlich), then we all die from cancer caused by pesticides (Rachel Carlson), then the world runs out of oil (Peak Oil theory), then we don’t run out of oil and we make too much CO2 and humanity overheats and dies (Algore). I’m confident they will come up with another faux crisis in short order and the ACs of the world will dutifully climb aboard the band wagon, salivating like Pavlov’s dogs.
January 30th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
This from the genius who declares we think ““Science is stupid.” when East Anglia CRU reverses it’s own conclusions and we actually notice it. It is nice to see the occasional irrational comment again. It gets dull being right all the time.
January 30th, 2012 at 4:05 pm
“Notice it?” The minute some client scientist goes to the men’s room to drop a deuce you loonies get orders to crank up the astroturf machine and start annoying people who work for a living.
You “notice” a whole lot of other scientific developments, do you Kerm? Bet you’re nightstand is just groaning under the weight of all those issues of JAMA, Nature and Proceedings of the American Society for Midwestern Wingnut Science and Fancy Book Learnin’.
Kermie graduated with a dual major in climate denial and creation science.
January 30th, 2012 at 4:06 pm
That should be “climate scientist.” Angryclown will sack his girl for the error.
January 30th, 2012 at 4:27 pm
Angryclown is a simple street busker, Ben Dover. he leaves science to the scientists.
This is why, if he had been around in the first half of the 20th century, Angry Clown would have endorsed the idea of racial hygeine.
graduated with a dual major in climate denial and creation science.
Category error; “creation science” is about the past while “climate denial” is about the future.
You really shouldn’t try to make arguments, Angry Clown, you aren’t very good at it. You might try commenting at Penigma’s blog: http://penigma.blogspot.com/. Over there they praise bien-pensant views as profound and powerful truths.
Also, they are pro-infanticide! So that would be a bonus for you.
January 30th, 2012 at 4:31 pm
Hey AssClown Burbot, allow K-Rod to give you a “climate science” lesson, all be it at your grade school science level:
1. The earth has been in a warming trend for the past 10,000 years.
2. There is no data to even hint that the warming is cause by humans.
3. AngryClown has been duped by the Branch AlGoreans.
My Karma just ran over your Dogma.
Game. Set. Match.
January 30th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
Yeah, you should sack your talking points stenographer, too. Maybe look into hiring a PR firm to make you look, somewhat, credible. Cause what you’re doing with the personal attacks doesn’t work anymore.
January 30th, 2012 at 4:41 pm
And really, how does one “deny” the climate? We’ve had one for at least 5000 years. When Jesus was riding dinosaurs, right?

The Inquisition is preparing the instruments:
http://dailycaller.com/2012/01/30/global-warming-activists-seek-to-purge-deniers-among-local-weathermen/
Note that all the organizations that are part of this “Forecast the Facts” coalition are political, not scientific.
“You wouldn’t ask your dentist about your gallbladder and you shouldn’t ask your local TV weatherman about climate change,” Houston’s KTRK Channel 13 chief meteorologist, Tim Heller, told The Chronicle.
But of course Heller does want us to get our information about climate change from TV meteorologists, as long as they are TV meteorologists who agree with him.
So far, the campaign has identified 55 “deniers” in the meteorologist community and are looking for more. They define “deniers” as “anyone who expressly refutes the overwhelming scientific consensus about climate change: that it is real, largely caused by humans, and already having profound impacts on our world.”
“that it is real, largely caused by humans, and already having profound impacts on our world.”
Sounds a bit like the first lines of the Nicene Creed:
Note the words “largely caused by humans”. How much is “largely”? They don’t know. In theory, if they really knew what they were doing, the vast climate scientist consensus could tell you how much the Earth’s temperature (its “heat budget”) would be if atmospheric CO2 increased or decreased by, say, fifty PPM from its current value.
They can’t. Or rather, when they try to, they fail. What’s interesting is that the official numbers for “climate forcing” that occurs from increasing or moderating the concentration of CO2 haven’t changed in two decades. All this research they’ve been doing and their models are still crappy. A non-politically driven research project would begin to challenge its assumptions, such as that global temps are driven primarily by human contributions to atmospheric CO2 in th lower atmosphere. The IPCC uses the “2-4 Deg C global temperature increase by 2060” because it is politically usefull, not because it is scientifically defensible.

Bozo- Thank you for for your reasoned, detailed and well thought out rebuttal to the original post.
January 30th, 2012 at 9:09 pm

The Germans.
That means that Angry Clown is a Nazi. Shame on you, Angry Clown.
My logic is incontrovertible.

It is funny that left wing moonbats like ac give their own hypocritical heroes like Algore a pass when they illustrate such hypocrisy. To wit; Al owns not one, but two energy guzzling, planet killing, resource wasting mansions. When the true believers in globull warming organized their lame assed one hour lights out or whatever the hell they called it, a satellite showed Al’s 30,000 square foot Tennessee mansion lit up like Rockefeller Plaza on Christmas Eve.
But, I’m sure ac has purchased his worthless paper carbon credits, a hot aire based financial vehicle concoted by the ultra left DemocRAT supporter Goldman Sachs and Al to screw the American public even more!

that would be “concocted”.

Behold: The “green” mansion of NY Times columnist Thomas Friedman:
http://cryptome.org/eyeball/friedman/friedman-mansion.htm
I figure his “carbon footprint” is at least ten times as large as mine is.
Most of the Friedman bucks come from his wife’s family. They made millions financing suburban shopping malls back in the 60’s.
Friedman actually believes that his construction of an 11,000 sq’ house on seven acres of land is an act of ecological piety because (he says) it prevented the land from being used for a subdivision.
Right, Tom, the world would be a better place if only everybody would build an 11,000 sq’ house on seven acres of land.
January 31st, 2012 at 2:41 pm
Friedman is what Lenin called a useful idiot. Remember when he said he wished Obama could just issue laws and regulations without checks and balances, you know like a dictator?
January 31st, 2012 at 2:42 pm
yes subdivisons are what’s destroying the environment… Terry he didn’t really say that did he?
January 31st, 2012 at 3:39 pm

Friedman attacked from the left:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-sirota/billionaire-scion-tom-fri_b_26164.html
Friedman is attacked from left quite often. To the praise of the left, not just for his elitism, but because he is a terrible writer — he uses a lexicon of bizarre cliche’s and mangled English usage that only he seems to understand:
“The first rule of holes is when you’re in one, stop digging. When you’re in three, bring a lot of shovels.”
A cruel critique of Friedman’s failures as writer is here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904194604576582534129735582.html
Friedman has won three Pulitzer prizes for journalism and in 2005 was chosen to join the committee that chooses future Pulitzer Prize winners. He writes a weekly 800 word column for the NYT, and for this they reportedly pay him $300k/yr.
January 31st, 2012 at 4:09 pm
“He writes a weekly 800 word column for the NYT, and for this they reportedly pay him $300k/yr.”
And, I’m sure that he pays his “fair share” of taxes on that ill gotten booty! Oh, wait…I was sleep writing there for a sec.
January 31st, 2012 at 4:34 pm
ok Terry reading that it almost seemed like he was masturbating with pride there. Good for him if he does it, I don’t give a rats ass about it, the fact he had to write it down means he’s helping stroke his own ego. I bet he is overcompensating for something… lacking of *ahem* size.
January 31st, 2012 at 4:36 pm
Not to sound cocky but I honestly think I am a better writer than him, hey NYT fire Friedman and I’ll work for 1/3 of his salary!

In pre-reformation times “pardoners” would travel the countryside selling “Indulgences” that supposedly reduced time in purgatory. Upon payment they would provide documents to the sinners which could be hung on a wall to show their clients & employees that they had offset their sins and were operating with a clear conscious.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:03 pm
amazing how history repeats itself isn’t it? Hey I’m fucking 2 mistresses but I paid indulgences to the Church so God doesn’t care. I would have loved to have seen their faces once they found out that wasn’t the case at the pearly gates
