Eco-wacko alert: First the glaciers cried, now they bleed

Back in September we reported the story of the crying glacier that supposedly symbolized the emotional trauma global warming was causing the earth. Well, hell’s bells, man, what will the eco-wackos say about this bleeding glacier in Antarctica?

Antarctica glacier bleeds

Back in September we reported the story of the crying glacier that supposedly symbolized the emotional trauma global warming was causing the earth.

Well, hell’s bells, man, what will the eco-wackos say about this bleeding glacier in Antarctica?

WebEcoist.com reports the Southern Hemisphere’s hemoglobic happenings:

The waters beneath Taylor’s Glacier are a kind of ancient time capsule where a community of microorganisms was able to develop and evolve in an environment not found anywhere else on Earth. When the lake was trapped under the glacier some 1.5 – 2 million years ago, some simple life forms were trapped in it. The subglacial lake contains no oxygen, but is home to at least 17 different types of microorganisms. The water is hyper-salinated (very salty), and its unusual coloring is due to its high iron content, which instantly rusts upon being exposed to air outside of its closed-in origin, creating the blood red waterfall. The strange and inhospitable conditions in the subglacial lake had led researchers to wonder just how all of those microorganisms could have survived in the extremely cold, airless, completely dark environment for so long.

No, it’s not natural. It’s not. It’s caused by man, damn it. Man is making the planet bleed. And the only way to stop it is to raise taxes and make Al Gore even richer.

Yeah, that’s the answer.

Love ClimateGate means never having to say
you’re sorry

The Guardian UK has the story of Rajendra Pachauri, head of the IPCC, which got caught flat out lying about the fate of the world’s glaciers

Rajendra Pachauri
Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC and congenital liar

The make believe world of global warming doesn’t work like the rest of the world. Not at all.

In the real world, you get fired from your job if it’s discovered that all the reports you’ve written are nonsense. But in the FantasyLand of global warming, you keep your job and attack those who reveal your perfidy.

The Guardian UK has the story of Rajendra Pachauri, head of the IPCC, which got caught flat out lying about the fate of the world’s glaciers:

The embattled chief of the UN’s climate change body has hit out at his critics and refused to resign or apologise for a damaging mistake in a landmark 2007 report on global warming.

In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said it would be hypocritical to apologise for the false claim that ­Himalayan glaciers could melt away by 2035, because he was not personally responsible for that part of the report. “You can’t expect me to be personally responsible for every word in a 3,000 page report,” he said.

The IPCC issued a statement that expressed regret for the mistake, but Pachauri said a personal apology would be a “populist” step.

“I don’t do too many populist things, that’s why I’m so unpopular with a certain section of society,” he said.

Of course, that “certain section of society” to which Pachauri refers includes all honest people who aren’t ripping off the world’s taxpayers for billions of dollars.

IPCC says, “Hey, just because we’re wrong doesn’t mean we’re not right.”

The U.N.’s leading panel on climate change has apologized for misleading data published in a 2007 report that warned Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035.

More weird science from the U.N. global warming scientists.

Apparently the new battle cry for global warming activists goes something like “Even if the data’s wrong, the overall theory is right.”

This idea was reinforced in a CNN report that said, “The U.N.’s leading panel on climate change has apologized for misleading data published in a 2007 report that warned Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035.” Apparently those facts guesses were “poorly substantiated” and “well-established standards of evidence were not applied properly.”

Now in the old fashioned days of real science even a high school science paper required that facts be “substantiated” and “applied properly” or you had to start all over again from scratch. Not so in today’s U.N. mad scientist “we don’t need no stinking facts” world.

The CNN story continued: “Despite the admission, the IPCC reiterated its concern about the dangers melting glaciers present in a region that is home to more than one-sixth of the world’s population.” And then the spin on facts begins. “Speaking at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi Wednesday, the IPCC chairman, Rajendra Pachauri admitted errors had been made but said it was not an excuse to question the legitimacy of all global warming science.”

“Theoretically, let’s say we slipped up on one number, I don’t think it takes anything away from the overwhelming scientific evidence of what’s happening with the climate of this earth,” he said, according to Agence France-Presse.”

Apparently the controversy began because “The IPCC statement on Himalayan glaciers, which was based on information from a 2005 report by the World Wildlife Fund, was in turn gleaned from an article that appeared in the popular UK science journal, The New Scientist in June 1999.”

We are guessing that it left out the part were “The New Scientist” heard it from this scientist at a bar, who heard it from a guy he knew at work, who read it somewhere on the Internet.

Let’s just say the IPCC is full of crap. And we don’t mean theoretically.

Scientists discover why the glaciers are melting. It was a typo.

Frantic calls to save the earth echoed across the media last week after scientists announced that global warming would cause the Himalayan glaciers to vanish completely by 2035. Typo. 2350.

The glaciers are melting! The glaciers are melting!
The glaciers are melting! The glaciers are melting!

Frantic calls to save the earth echoed across the media last week after scientists announced that global warming would cause the Himalayan glaciers to vanish completely by 2035.

TreeHugger.com headlined the story, “Everest and Himalayan Glaciers Could Vanish By 2035, Imperiling a Billion People.”

CNN’s breathless account of our impending doom said, “The glaciers in the Himalayas are receding quicker than those in other parts of the world and could disappear altogether by 2035 according to the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.”

We don’t mean to pick on the goodhearted people at TreeHugger.com or CNN, because similar stories ran in dozens of other major media outlets around the world.

Just one problem: the doom and gloom was all based on a simple typo. Turns out the report actually predicted that the glaciers could disappear by the year 2350, not the year 2035.

Our advice: take that Zodiac inflatable boat back to the sporting goods store and see if you can get your money back.

Because the only thing melting away what’s left of the IPCC’s credibility.

Nutty environmentalists say that Mr. Glacier is sad

Environmentalists are atwitter over a recent photo of a Norwegian glacier that shows water gushing from a crack in the ice formation, transmogrifing it into a weeping Mother Nature.

So a priest, a rabbi and an environmentalist walk into a bar...

Environmentalists are atwitter over a recent photo of a Norwegian glacier that shows water gushing from a crack in the ice formation.

What? Isn’t it summer, you ask? Don’t glaciers typically melt a little during summer?

Sure, but for the same people who make fun of people who see the image of the Virgin Mary burnt on the side of their toast or for football fans who see the Philadelphia Eagles emblem mysteriously appear in a bowl of Cheerios, the water flowing from this fissure in ice is actually proof that the earth is sad. If you look closely, or take LSD, the ice formation resembles a face. And, if the acid is really, really strong, it looks like water is pouring out of the eye. Like tears!

Yes, this Norwegian glacier has been transmogrified into a weeping Mother Nature. A crying Gaia. The Virgin Mary on the rocks.

But perhaps there’s another explanation.

Perhaps Mother Earth is laughing so hard at these dumbass environmentalists that she’s actually crying.
