Knut goes kaput: Popular German polar bear dies from severe case of global warming

Global warming has claimed another polar bear.

Well, actually, there’s no proof, not even a hint, that global warming had anything to do with Knut the polar bear’s sudden, unexpected death. But there’s no proof that global warming is killing any other polar bears, either, so let’s just get out ahead of the eco-wackos and blame Knut’s death on the C02 myth, too.

Thanks to global warming, Knut has assumed room temperature

The Guardian UK details Knut’s demise:

Knut, the polar bear raised by Berlin zoo keepers after being rejected by his mother, has collapsed and died unexpectedly in his compound. According to reports, several hundred visitors to the zoo saw him fall. The three other bears that usually shared his enclosure, including his mother Tosca, were not there.

“It’s terrible,” Berlin mayor Klaus Wowereit told a Berlin newspaper. “He had a special place in all of our hearts. He was the star of Berlin Zoo.”

Bear keeper Heiner Kloes said that the cause of death of the four-year-old bear is not clear.

Not clear? The hell you say. Michael Mann beat him to death with a hockey stick.

Al Gore goes into cardiac arrest: U.S. and Russia agree to let Eskimos hunt “endangered” polar bears

Poor Al Gore. This just isn’t his month. First his wife dumps him like a globally-warmed potoato and now the United States and Russia have agreed to let native peoples kill polar bears.

If polar bear hunting is one of their 'traditions", shouldn't they be required to use a bow and arrow or a boomerang or a rock or something a little less modern than a rifle?

Poor Al Gore. This just isn’t his month. First his wife dumps him like a globally-warmed potato and now the United States and Russia have agreed to let native peoples kill polar bears.

The Anchorage Daily News has the details:

A joint commission is recommending lifting the ban on harvesting polar bears for traditional and cultural purposes in Russia.

The U.S.-Russia Polar Bear Commission met this week in Anchorage to determine the potential for a coordinated and sustainable subsistence harvest of polar bears by Native peoples of Alaska and Chukotka in Russia. The commission determined that the harvest should be limited to up to 58 polar bears a year, with no more than 19 being females.

So it turns out Al Gore may have been right after all. The polar bears are endangered, but it ain’t global warming that’s going to kill them. It’s Eskimos.

If you thought hanging chads were bad, wait until you see hanging polar bears

The greens are distraught over the circus that was Copenhagen. As the Brisbane Courier-Mail reports, Aussie greens have resorted to lynching polar bears

hanging-bear The greens are distraught over the circus that was Copenhagen. As the Brisbane Courier-Mail reports, Aussie greens have resorted to lynching polar bears:

Copenhagen was the anti-climax of the century and the feeling of disappointment, anger and frustration from those who wanted more is palpable. In Brisbane, campaigners tied nooses around the necks of giant soft toy polar bears and threw them off balconies and bridges.

Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Director of the Centre for Marine Studies at the University of Queensland, said the political leaders were putting a “brave face on total failure”, declaring it “a triumph for the fossil fuel lobby.” The usually understated Dr John Church, principle research scientist in CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research and a world authority on sea-level rise, said: “Continued failure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions commits the world to metres of sea-level rise, with severe consequences for many millions of people and the natural environment.”

Damn, these people are hilarious. Who the hell are we going to laugh at when they are finally forced to abandon the global warming scam?

Scientists discover unexpected cause of global warming: the price of a U.S. postage stamp

us_postal__global_warming

Stop the global warming presses. Scientists have discovered a remarkable link between rapidly rising world temperatures and…uh…well…United States postage rates.

“The rise in global temperatures since 1880 closely correlates with increases in postal charges,” the study stated, “sparking alarm that CO2 has been usurped as the main driver of climate change.”

As you can see in the chart, the correlation between rise in temperatures and the rise in the price of postage stamps is far closer than the correlation between temperatures and C02.

This tongue-planted-firmly-in-cheek scientific report demonstrates the obvious quite simply: Just because two things correlate doesn’t mean one causes the other.

But all kidding aside, there is one very important lesson to be learned from this study:

We must stop the increase in postage rates, because they’re killing the polar bears.
