GREEN CRAP I Stand By It as a Theatrical Work The paper might have been scientifically invalid, but it was a box-office success. The headlines were everywhere “ A group of international scientists is sounding a global alarm, warning that population growth, climate change and environmental destruction are pushing Earth toward calamitous — and irreversible — biological changes.  [LATIMES] Here's how Anthony Watts dealt with this one.  Well, you can read it;  I'll just post a few of the comments which will give you what you need to know (it's all  more contrived climate crap): Nature, record heat, tipping points, Hansen’s opinion on weather noise, and all that Fred 2 says: June 9, 2012 at 10:29 am Why doesn’t the meme, “We are doomed, doomed I say. So give me more money and control over your life” seem convincing? stpaulchuck says: June 9, 2012 at 10:31 am 1895…. we were just coming out of the Little Ice Age. Today’s temperatures are higher than that. *shock* *surprise* [/snark] In point of fact we are merely approaching the Middle Ages Warm Period temperatures. That was a time period which was absolutely great for humans and other creatures, yet we’re supposed to be horrified. What a crock of BS. NEXT The LA TIMES, On the discovery of  phytoplankton (carbon dioxide munchers -) which the AGW lobby had already listed as goners, this amusing insight. So, yes, the phytoplankton could have been growing for a long time, Bontempi said, which she finds "fascinating." "Things are happening on this planet that we never knew existed." But let's not let this "setback" keep us from our appointed rounds,quoth Algore, and his merry band? Again from Anthony Watts. NEXT Jo Nova chronicles the snapping of the Gergis hockey stick Posted on June 9, 2012 by Anthony Watts Note: I’m reposting this excellent essay from Jo Nova to give it a wide as an audience as possible. Be sure to bookmark her site if you have not already. – Anthony 300,000 dollars and three years to produce a paper that lasted three weeks: Gergis The paper might have been scientifically invalid, but it was a box-office success. The headlines were everywhere Blah-Blah- Blah.  I know that most of you are also utterly confounded by the AGW climate lobby's refusal to acknowledge that they are thoroughly discredited.  Take James Hansen, (when news first leaked that Tipper discovered Al was screwing someone else, everyone's first guess was Hansen),   head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.  How does he keep his job?  How can he possibly have any standing left in the scientific community?  The same goes for Michael "Hockey Stick" Mann.  Rather than carry coal to Newcastle,  I'll suggest that this  is an epiphany. Torquemada, Hansen/Gore, Richard Dawkins Ben Stein examines the issue of academic freedom and decides that there is none when it comes to the debate over intelligent design.  Stein's not arguing for or against "intelligent design" (which is not "creationism"), but rather the "scientific community's response to any debate. And, I do mean any.  What we find are the same academia mindsets (the debate is over), catch-phrases (the debate is over),  and  penalty for straying outside the box - excommunication.  Trust me on this one - at least begin watching, or bookmark it. This is the whole movie. ”
