Okay, he’s not really a scientist per se, but he does have a solid reputation for predicting the weather. Meet Mojave Max, a 34-year-old desert tortoise who lives in Palm Desert, California.
Noted California climate expert says says global warming has slowed to a crawl
When Max stops hibernating and crawls out of his burrow, that’s considered by locals to be the end of winter. They even have an annual contest where people try to guess when it will happen.
Thing is, Max is waking up later and later each year. Historically he rubs the sleep out of his eyes and comes out of hibernation by February 15, but this year he waited until the 22nd. Last year he barely beat the deadline, crawling out on the 13th wearing ear muffs and a look of regret on his face, but two years ago he waited until the 24th.
Seems Max is trying to tell us something: “Baby, it’s cold outside.”
Three days later weather forecasters predicted snowfall in San Francisco for the first time in 35 years. So Mojave Max knows what’s he doing.
Does even a week go by when we don’t discover yet another bit of corruption in the global warming scam? Can we finally come right out and say the whole thing is the greatest scientific fraud since the Piltdown Man?

Don't worry, little fellas, that's not global warming. That's just Al Gore blowing hot air.
The Spectator sums up the latest scandal:
In January 2009, Nature magazine ran a cover story … conveying dramatic news about Antarctica: that most of it had warmed significantly over the last half-century. For years, the data from this frozen continent – with 90 percent of the world’s ice mass – had stubbornly refused to corroborate the global warming narrative. So the study, led by Eric Steig of the University of Washington, was treated as a bit of a scoop. It reverberated around the world. Gavin Schmidt, from the RealClimate blog, declared that Antarctica had silenced the sceptics. Mission, it seemed, was accomplished: Antarctica was no longer an embarrassment to the global warming narrative.
He spoke too soon. The indefatigable Steve McIntyre started to scrutinise his followings along with Nicholas Lewis. They found several flaws: Steig et al had used too few data sequences to speak for an entire continent, and had processed the data in a very questionable way. But when they wanted to correct him, in another journal, they quickly ran into an inconvenient truth about global warming: the high priests do not like refutation. To have their critique of Steig’s work published, they needed to assuage the many demands of an anonymous ‘Reviewer A’ – whom they later found out to be Steig himself.
In a similar vein, independent critics agree that IHateTheMedia.com is the greatest website in history.
Who are those critics? We’d rather not say, but since you bring it up, it may be the Editor and the Administrator.
Now go let your gas guzzler idle in the driveway and flip on all your incandescent light bulbs. The global warming scam is over.
Things got hot in the House of Representatives in the early hours of Saturday morning and it was all caused by global warming. Missouri Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer sponsored a “defund the IPCC amendment” and his Republican cohorts overwhelmed Democrat opposition in a 244-179 vote.
Things got hot in the House of Representatives in the early hours of Saturday morning and it was all caused by global warming. Missouri Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer sponsored a “defund the IPCC amendment” and his Republican cohorts overwhelmed Democrat opposition in a 244-179 vote.
Luetkemeyer lead up to the vote by reading aloud from a 2009 U.S. Senate report by more than 700 dissenting scientists.
Republican Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer was hot about global warming funding
And we quote Luetkemeyer:
“Scientists manipulated climate data, suppressed legitimate arguments in peer-reviewed journals, and researchers were asked to destroy emails, so that a small number of climate alarmists could continue to advance their environmental agenda.
“Since then, more than 700 acclaimed international scientists have challenged the claims made by the IPCC, in this comprehensive 740-page report. These 700 scientists represent some of the most respected institutions at home and around the world, including the U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense, U.S. Air Force and Navy, and even the Environmental Protection Agency.
“For example, famed Princeton University physicist Dr. Robert Austin, who has published 170 scientific papers and was elected a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Dr. Austin told a congressional committee that, unfortunately, climate has become a political science. It is tragic the some perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know better have whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomenon which is statistically questionable at best.
“Mr. Chairman, if the families in my district have been able to tighten their belts, surely the federal government can do the same and stop funding an organization that is fraught with waste and abuse. My amendment simply says that no funds in this bill can go to the IPCC. This would save taxpayers millions of dollars this year and millions of dollars in years to come. In fact, the President has requested an additional $13 million in his fiscal 2012 budget request.
“My constituents should not have to continue to foot the bill for an organization to keep producing corrupt findings that can be used as justification to impose a massive new energy tax on every American.”
One might think that a group of highly-educated meteorologists would anticipate that putting a climate station in the middle of a paved parking lot in the middle of a desert might provide temperature data that skews slightly high. Not so.

Middle of paved parking lot, middle of desert: The official climate station at the University of Arizona
The geniuses at the Department of Atmospheric Science at the esteemed University of Arizona did exactly that. And then they issued the following dire global warming alert:
Rising sea levels could threaten an average of 9 percent of the land within 180 U.S. coastal cities by 2100, according to new research led by University of Arizona scientists.
The Gulf and southern Atlantic coasts will be particularly hard hit. Miami, New Orleans, Tampa, Fla., and Virginia Beach, Va. could lose more than 10 percent of their land area by 2100.
The research is the first analysis of vulnerability to sea-level rise that includes every U.S. coastal city in the lower 48 with a population of 50,000 or more.
Using similar research methods to work, we put a thermometer in the refrigerator at ITHM HQ and we were shocked to discover that it shows temperatures are plummeting and that a new Ice Age is upon us.
Consensus is such a pleasant word. It brings up visions of different races, creeds and nationalities sitting around the campfire in big circle, holding hands and singing Kumbaya. Well, that and outright fraud.
Consensus is such a pleasant word. It brings up visions of different races, creeds and nationalities sitting around the campfire in big circle, holding hands and singing Kumbaya.
Well, that and outright fraud.
The FinancialPost UK describes how consensus is now achieved among the global warming crowd:
Campfire kumbaya consensus: Only hold hands with those who agree with you
The punditry looked for and found an alternative number to tout: “97% of the world’s climate scientists” accept the consensus, articles in the Washington Post, the U.K.’s Guardian, CNN and other news outlets now claim…
This number will prove a new embarrassment to the pundits and press who use it. The number stems from a 2008 master’s thesis by student Maggie Kendall Zimmerman at the University of Illinois, under the guidance of Peter Doran, an associate professor of Earth and environmental sciences. The two researchers obtained their results by conducting a survey of 10,257 Earth scientists. The survey results must have deeply disappointed the researchers — in the end, they chose to highlight the views of a subgroup of just 77 scientists, 75 of whom thought humans contributed to climate change. The ratio 75/77 produces the 97% figure that pundits now tout.
The two researchers started by altogether excluding from their survey the thousands of scientists most likely to think that the Sun, or planetary movements, might have something to do with climate on Earth — out were the solar scientists, space scientists, cosmologists, physicists, astronomers and meteorologists.
All together now, “Kumbaya, my lord, kumbaya, kumbaya, my lord, kumbaya….”
You have to laugh. You just have to. More than 200 global warming activists decided that jumping into the freezing ass waters of the mighty Potomac would be an outstanding way to attract a little attention to their discredited movement.

Andrew Bolt, one of our favorite Aussie bloggers, reveals that global warming skeptics recently had a very good day at the thoroughbred races Down Under.
Andrew Bolt, one of our favorite Aussie bloggers, reveals that global warming skeptics recently had a very good day at the thoroughbred races Down Under:
Al Gore reacts to the results of the eighth race at Caulfield
At Caulfield today ‘Global Warming’ came 8th in the 10 horse field.
At Murray Bridge today ‘Globalwarmnsceptic’ won and paid $4.40!
Al Gore was reportedly seen tossing away his losing tickets in the Caulfield parking lot while mumbling something about “How could this happen? I was so positive that Global Warming was a winner.”
Hey, wait just a gol danged minute. We thought the science was settled. Didn’t Al Gore tell us the Himalayan glaciers were melting away.
Hey, wait just a gol danged minute. We thought the science was settled. Didn’t Al Gore tell us the Himalayan glaciers were melting away and that the entire Indian subcontinent was about to make the Oklahoma dust bowl look like the Garden of Eden?
The Himalayan glaciers are advancing, but Al Gore's credibility is in full retreat
Hmmmm. Hard to believe as this may be, it turns out that none of it is true.
The Telegraph UK has the report you probably won’t see in the American media:
Himalayan glaciers are actually advancing rather than retreating, claims the first major study since a controversial UN report said they would be melted within quarter of a century.
Researchers have discovered that contrary to popular belief half of the ice flows in the Karakoram range of the mountains are actually growing rather than shrinking.
The discovery adds a new twist to the row over whether global warming is causing the world’s highest mountain range to lose its ice cover.
It further challenges claims made in a 2007 report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that the glaciers would be gone by 2035.
So the way we understand this story, the glaciers are growing. The only things shrinking are Al Gore’s bank account and his credibility.
Here we thought Genghis Khan was a very bad man who raped and pillaged and cut of limbs and blew up bodies. But now all is forgiven because the it turns out ol’ Genghis was actually an environmentalist who saved the planet.
We’re confused and we don’t mind admitting it. Here we thought Genghis Khan was a very bad man who raped and pillaged and cut of limbs and blew up bodies. We thought he was the most evil man in history. For god’s sake, man, that’s why John Kerry compared U.S. troops in Vietnam to the Mongol madman, isn’t it?
But now all is forgiven because the it turns out ol’ Genghis was actually an environmentalist who saved the planet.
The Mongolian mad man was history's first mass murdering environmentalist
Mother Nature Network explains the new, kinder, gentler Genghis:
Genghis Khan’s Mongol invasion in the 13th and 14th centuries was so vast that it may have been the first instance in history of a single culture causing man-made climate change, according to new research out of the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology, reports Mongabay.com.
Unlike modern day climate change, however, the Mongol invasion actually cooled the planet, effectively scrubbing around 700 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere.
So how exactly did Genghis Khan, one of history’s cruelest conquerors, earn such a glowing environmental report card? The reality may be a bit difficult for today’s environmentalists to stomach, but Khan did it the same way he built his empire — with a high body count.
Over the course of the century and a half run of the Mongol Empire, about 22 percent of the world’s total land area had been conquered and an estimated 40 million people were slaughtered by the horse-driven, bow-wielding hordes. Depopulation over such a large swathe of land meant that countless numbers of cultivated fields eventually returned to forests.
In other words, one effect of Genghis Khan’s unrelenting invasion was widespread reforestation, and the re-growth of those forests meant that more carbon could be absorbed from the atmosphere.
Based on this theory, Hitler was just an environmentalist. Stalin, too. And that Mao, he was a damn saint.
Looks like John Wayne was right. Genghis Khan was a lover, not a fighter.

Eco-wackos tell us that coal is killing the planet. In fact, they tell us that it is causing global warming that is, in turn, causing a drought that is, in turn, causing the entire continent of Australia to dry up and blow away.
Eco-wackos tell us that coal is killing the planet. In fact, they tell us that it is causing global warming that is, in turn, causing a drought that is, in turn, causing the entire continent of Australia to dry up and blow away.
News.com.au has details for any droughting Thomases among you:
The massive Queensland coal industry is at a standstill as flooding shuts mines, rail lines and ports.
The flooding is causing at least $2 billion in lost production for the industry – source of more than half the world’s seaborne trade in the commodity.
That’s right. Coal is causing global warming. Global warming is causing the greatest drought in Australian history. So Mother Gaia is getting her revenge by causing torrential downpours which have caused massive flooding that closed down this Australian coal mine.
Yes, of course, drought and torrential rain seem contradictory to us – the unwashed and the uninformed – but they’re not. Truth is, we’re just not smart enough to understand the power and logic and really nasty temperament of Mother Gaia.
More evidence of the horrors of global warming appeared just outside Cleveland this week as spray from Lake Erie turned a lighthouse into an eerie ice sculpture.

John B. Miller, a scientist for the U.S National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration spoke at a global warming rally and eco-wacko extravaganza back in October 2009. That’s where he announced that the “master variable” of climate change is population control.
John B. Miller, a scientist for the U.S National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration spoke at a global warming rally and eco-wacko extravaganza back in October 2009. That’s where he announced that the “master variable” of climate change is population control. Oh, we beg your pardon. Not just population control, but population reduction.
I’d be remiss, as a scientist who studied this, if I didn’t mention the following two things.
The first is that, most importantly, we need to do, as a society, in this country and globally, whatever we can to reduce population. [Cheers, applause] It’s the “master variable” that controls everything [shouts of “That’s right.”].
And what I mean by this is not just in the developing world where it’s a known fact that empowered women have been a proven strategy to make healthier, wealthier and smaller families. [More cheers, more applause] But additionally and especially in our country and other developed countries, we have a population problem, because our per capita emissions are higher than anybody. Yet we continue to have – and this is true in every industrialized country – lots of tax benefits, encouragements to have more and more.
Our whole economic philosophy is based on growth, and growth of our population, and this madness has to end.
We assume that Miller will be the one deciding who stays and who goes and that his name will not be high on the list of those going.
Al Gore is a lot like Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog. He disappears every winter and reappears again when it’s nice and warm again and the snow is starting to melt.
Al Gore is a lot like Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog. He disappears every winter and reappears again when it’s nice and warm again and the snow is starting to melt.
Gore may wish he could do something else like Punxsutawney Phil – take this embarrassing 2009 prediction down a hole and bury it.
ENS-newswire.com has the details from a mere 13 months ago:
Snow and ice across the planet are melting much faster than anticipated, and the cryosphere – the Earth’s ice and snow cover – is very vulnerable to climate change, finds a new report presented today at the United Nations Climate Summit by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Snow cover is diminishing, and glaciers from the Himalayas to the Alps are melting rapidly, with the greatest reductions in the Andes and the Rockies, the report shows.
The study was commissioned by Gore and Støre as they co-chaired the conference Melting Ice: Regional Dramas, Global Wake-Up Call on April 28 in the town of Tromsø in northern Norway. A group of the world’s most knowledgeable climate researchers produced the report, coordinated by the Norwegian Polar Institute.
Your choice is clear, ladies and gentlemen. You can believe Al Gore or you can believe your lyin’ eyes.
Uh-oh, Al. Record snowfall in New York.Uh-oh, Al. Record snowfall in Paris.Uh-oh, Al. Summer snowfall in Australia.Uh-oh, Al. Record snowfall in China.Uh-oh, Al. Record snowfall in the Sierra Nevadas.Uh-oh, Al. Record snowfall in Great Britain.
New Zealand National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research has been forced to retract their phony temperature numbers for the past century. No warming has occurred in NZ since 1960.
New Zealand, home of the stunning glaciers and the soaring Southern Alps and eco-wackos galore. Yeah, that New Zealand, the pristine country whose scientists just came to a very inconvenient conclusion.
New Zealand's Southern Alps are not threatened by global warming. Neither is anything else.
The Scoop New Zealand has the recalibrated reality:
New Zealand National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research has been forced to retract their phony temperature numbers for the past century. No warming has occurred in NZ since 1960.
NIWA has abandoned the official national temperature record and created a new one following sustained pressure from the NZ Climate Science Coalition and the Climate Conversation Group.
Does anyone have any idea if it would contribute to global warming if we tarred and feathered Al Gore?
THONGS and board shorts gave way to beanies and scarves yesterday as summer gave way to a wintry blast of snow and icy temperatures in Australia’s southeast.
You read about those record cold temperatures hitting Europe and the northern United States and you say, “Well, sure, but winter’s just a few days away so it’s not that strange.”
This looks like one of those "What's wrong with this picture?" pictures from back in grade school
Hmmm. Then how do you explain snow in Australia a few days away from summer?
News.com.au has the frigid factoids:
THONGS and board shorts gave way to beanies and scarves yesterday as summer gave way to a wintry blast of snow and icy temperatures in the country’s southeast.
While the bitter freeze in Europe continues, Victoria and NSW have had a cold snap of their own, with off-season ski slopes transformed into winter wonderlands.
About 30cm of snow fell at Perisher in NSW yesterday, while Victoria’s Mount Hotham received a 10cm dusting on Sunday.
Charlotte’s Pass in the NSW Snowy Mountains also received a 10cm sprinkling of snow, prompting would-be bushwalkers to don clothing more suitable for skiing.
It was surprising to see the Kosciuszko Chalet Hotel blanketed with snow at this time of year, resort manager Michelle Lovius told The Australian yesterday.
“I’m sitting inside in my scarf and beanie,” she said.
“When you walk in it, it’s up past your ankles and it’s just started snowing heavily again.”
Will the environmentalists admit that they were wrong? That’ll be a cold day in hell. And in Australia.
Well, this is unexpected news. The worrywarts at NASA now say that instead of killing us global warming could, in fact, save us from a cold, miserable death in the next ice age.
Well, this is unexpected news. The worrywarts at NASA now say that instead of killing us global warming could, in fact, save us from a cold, miserable death in the next ice age.
NASA says we need more global warming to prevent this from becoming a common scene in Miami Beach
…According to scientists’ models of Earth’s orbit and orientation toward the Sun indicate that our world should be just beginning to enter a new period of cooling — perhaps the next ice age.
However, a new force for change has arisen: humans. After the industrial revolution, humans introduced increasing amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and changed the surface of the landscape to an extent great enough to influence climate on local and global scales. By driving up carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere (by about 30 percent), humans have increased its capacity to trap warmth near the surface.
So drive that gas guzzler. Turn the heat up in your house. Cancel your plans for that backyard windmill.
Then get a big, furry parka and rent yourself a cave near Palm Springs, baby. The Ice Age is coming.
We’re pretty confident that U.N. corruptocrats will fly home from Cancún and produce a stack of reports thick enough to kill off every tree in Bavaria, but all you really need to know can be found in the following four quotes.
We’re pretty confident that U.N. corruptocrats will fly home from Cancún and produce a stack of reports thick enough to kill off every tree in Bavaria, but all you really need to know can be found in the following four quotes.
Delegates at the UN's Cancun meeting experienced record low temperatures in the Mexican resort
Ben Webster in The Times UK:
The climate change conference in Cancún has ended with failure to set a target date for the reduction of carbon emissions. The Mexican hosts persuaded 192 out of 193 countries to accept the “Cancún agreement” by the simple trick of aiming for the lowest common denominator — the agreement was secured by deferring decisions on all of the most contentious issues.
Nitin Sethi in The Economic Times of India:
Under the new Cancun deal, each country will be allowed to offer whatever it wishes to pledge for emission reductions on its own volition. There shall be no cumulative target to reach. No one shall ask if the individual targets are collectively adequate or not. The new regime will only check if the pledges have been acted upon or not. Rich countries, including the US, will offer emission reduction targets and others, such as India, will offer their mitigation actions as part of a new deal which can be said to be defined by the bottoms up approach. Under the agreement India will get off easy. Because it let others off easy as well.
Walter Russell Mead in The American Interest:
That is the big news out of Cancun; the green agenda has fallen into a UN black hole and for now at least it cannot get out. The “success” of Cancun is a best case scenario from the skeptic’s point of view. The cost of funding endless UN gabfests in exotic tourist locations (next up: South Africa in 2012) is trivial compared to the cost of any serious efforts to deal with carbon emissions on the scale current scientific theory suggests would be needed. Bureaucrats will dance, journalists will spin and carbon will spew, and the greens will be unable to escape this dysfunctional UN process for years and maybe decades to come.
Ronald Bailey in Reason Online:
The United Nation’s climate change conference here in Cancun came to an end at around 4 a.m. this morning. It would be cynical to call it a bribe, but the Cancun agreements were largely reached because the rich countries continued their vague promises to hand over $100 billion in climate aid annually to poor countries beginning in 2020.
Game. Set. Match. Let’s go sit in the shade and have a beer.
Or for those of you in Europe or the Midwest and eastern United States, stay inside, put another log on the fire, fix yourself a nice hot cocoa, then sit back and watch the snow fall.
The prime minister of Tuvalu, Apisai Ielemia, said rich Westerners were allowing his nation to perish due to global warming. Well, then why are home prices up?
Eero Iloniemi is the managing editor of Nykypäivä, a Finnish newspaper. He went to the U.N.’s Cancun global warming shindig and asked a very inconvenient question.
And if you believe the Tuvaloons, we have some oceanfront land in Arizona we'd like to sell youIloniemi’s reports the results of his inconvenient query:
The prime minister of Tuvalu, Apisai Ielemia, said rich Westerners were allowing his nation to perish. He showed a group of journalists, me among them, a video of floods that threaten to wash his tiny Pacific island nation to the sea…
‘Mr Prime Minister. In view of the impending deluge, how much have land prices fallen on Tuvalu?‘ I stammered.
For some reason my question completely silenced the room packed with environmental press. After what I will charitably call an inquisitive stare, the prime minister gave his longwinded answer full of long-term projections of rising ocean levels. To be fair, he concluded with a simple declaration: ‘Land prices have not been affected.’
This baffles me. The Tuvaluans have experienced the very floods Ielemia had just shown us. If the ocean is encroaching the island, surely it would make sense to sell all your land, at any price, while you still have some. This should cause a dramatic drop in land value as the market gets flooded (no pun intended)…
The story gets even more baffling when one looks at the Maldives. Remember, this is the tiny nation in the middle of the Indian Ocean where the government held an underwater cabinet meeting in November 2009 to emphasise the imminent peril of climate change-induced rises in the ocean levels. But in the Maldives, too, land prices are holding.
This does bring up the question we asked several months ago:
If Al Gore really expects sea levels to rise, why did he buy an oceanfront estate in California?
Global warming is piling up in Paris as one of the biggest early December blizzards in decades sweeps across Europe. And as if re-enacting one of the country’s many humiliating military defeats, French bureaucrats immediately ran up the white flag.

Paris, the City of Lights, the City of Heavy Snowfall
The BBC is in the know on the snow:
Heavy snow in Paris brought buses to a halt on Wednesday, suspended flights at Charles de Gaulle airport and prompted the closure of the Eiffel Tower.
Motorways in the Paris region were described as impassable as snow that had already hit other areas of France spread to the capital.
… The Meteo France service reported that one of its Paris weather stations had recorded 11cm (4.5in) of snow. The French capital has not seen a larger one-day snowfall since 1987.
Although the Paris Metro and rail network were operating normally on Wednesday, Charles de Gaulle airport closed for part of the afternoon until workers were able to clear the runways of snow.
The operators of the Eiffel Tower decided to close the monument as salt could not be used to tackle the snow and ice because of possible damage to the iron structure.
The national centre for traffic information described secondary routes in the Paris region as “catastrophic”. By mid-afternoon, the bus operator RATP declared that not a single bus was running.
In fact, the only thing that’s still running in Paris is the people. And they’re running away from the global warming scam just as fast as they can.
LOL! “Snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain’s culture.”
Global warming was a pretty good scam until its perpetrators’ short term predictions ran smack dab into reality. Like this one made in 2000 regarding Great Britain’s snowless future:
This is what London was supposed to look like according to global warming predictions.
Britain’s winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain’s culture, as warmer winters – which scientists are attributing to global climate change – produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries…
According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.
“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
The Brits may be shoveling snow, but Al Gore is still shoveling bullshit
Like we said, that prediction of a balmy British future has crashed headlong into the cold, hard facts. Emphasis on cold. We’re still a couple weeks away from winter and Britain is completely covered with snow. Repeat, completely covered.
More than 40cm (16in) of snow fell in some parts of Scotland and up to 40cm blanketed parts of North-east England, but the coldest of the weather so far was felt in Wales. In Llysdinam, Powys, the temperature sank to -18C, the coldest on record for Wales in November and far below the previous low of -11.2 recorded in 1921. Northern Ireland also suffered its coldest November night ever, with -9.5 at Lough Fea. The previous record was -9C in 1978, the Met Office in London said.
Would someone please pass the news to the delegates at the UN Global Warming Conference in Cancun? They may want to reschedule their flights back into Europe.
The global warming scam is on life support. And so is Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Propaganda Protection. This campaign to save the planet has scaled back its field operations since climate legislation failed earlier this year in Congress.
The global warming scam is on life support. And so is Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Propaganda Protection.
Politico.com has the details:
"Do not burneth me at the stake," Saint Albert of Nashville said, "for that would releaseth too much carbon into the atmosphere."
One of Al Gore’s campaigns to save the planet has scaled back its field operations since climate legislation failed earlier this year in Congress.
The Alliance for Climate Protection was operating in about 25 states at its peak, including Florida, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
But the group now has field offices in just seven states.
“We’ve always believed it’s a mobile and nimble operation,” said Sean Sarah, the non-profit group’s spokesman. “We move to areas where it’s most effective. Of course the situation in Congress has changed. So our strategies and tactics have changed along with it.”
The organization’s new strategy is simple: Survive long enough to protect the boss’ investments in global warming nonsense.
After all, the future of the world may not hang in the balance, but the future of Gore’s fortune does.
Here I am at Climate Camp 2010 in Australia. Even though it’s summertime and Sydney’s weather is supposed to be like Southern California’s, we’re freezing our asses off because of global climate disruption. Or whatever we’re calling it these days.
Dear Mom and Dad:
Here I am at Climate Camp 2010 in Australia. Even though it’s summertime and Sydney’s weather is supposed to be like Southern California’s, we’re freezing our asses off because of global climate disruption. Or whatever we’re calling it these days.
Don’t worry, mom and dad. Heavy jackets and blankets will protect us from the night chill. And we know these photos will never get out because our friends in the media will continue protecting us from those gosh darn skeptics.
Strangely enough, that night time chill carried over to the next day. But the global climate disruption was far less severe and far fewer of us had to wear sweatshirts. And heavy jackets. And cover ourselves with blankets.
Last year’s global warming conference in Copenhagen was hit by a huge blizzard, so the UN’s powers that be wised up and moved the conference to a tropical locale this year. Naturally, the Gore Effect strikes again in Cancun.

Eco-wackos in Cancun bury their heads in the sand to avoid weather reports
Naturally, the Gore Effect strikes again.
Ice Age Now has the story of record low temperatures at the UN’s Mexican hideaway:
“With the UN Climate Change Conference underway in Cancun to discuss the dangers of Global Warming, the resort host location is experiencing its third straight day of record cold temperatures,” says reader Richard Nathan.
Today the mercury fell to 53F in Cancun. The record for this date – 57F – was set in 2000.
Yesterday, the temperature in Cancun fell to 53F, a new record, and on Dec 5th it fell to 51F, yet another new record.
When will the eco-wackos give up this absurd global warming scam? When Hell freezes over. Or maybe when Cancun freezes over. Whichever comes first.
