Aside
from looking at Drudge a few times tonight, I've been watching
[Best Ever] Inspector George Gently
on NetFlix. The wife just came in—and,
this is so precious I had to share. It seems that with 75% of the vote counted, Republican Larry Hogan has 61% of the vote in the MD. Gubernatorial race over Martin O'Malleys lickspittle "token," Lt. Gov Anthony Brown. Because Brown jumped out to an early lead indicates that Baltimore City's ballots have been counted, it makes it harder to come up with "discovered ballots" at the 12th hour. Anyway, the TV guy, after visiting a very somber Brown H.Q., went to Hogan's and asked how everyone was feeling. Hogan's campaign manager said "We're upbeat, but remember—this is Maryland!" Ouch. LMAO. |

But
this is how mass hysteria works - and how it always has worked, as the
French author Gustave Le Bon observed in his influential 1895 work The
Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind.
One of the key methods by which demagogues work their magic and sell
their snake oil to the delusional masses is through the medium of
repetition, which acts on people's brains like a virus.
"Science has spoken. There is
no ambiguity in their message. Leaders must act. Time is not on our
side," said the UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon at the launch of the
report yesterday in Copenhagen, Denmark."Those who choose to ignore or dispute the science so clearly laid out in this report do so at great risk for all of us and for our kids and grandkids," said US Secretary of State, John Kerry. What neither appears to have realised is that the report contains no new "science" whatsoever. That is because it is a political document not a scientific one. It merely synthesises the three (heavily criticised) reports released over the last 13 months by the IPCC's three Working Groups, cherrypicks the scariest bits, turns the hysteria up to 11, then asserts on this basis that drastic measures must be taken if disaster is to be averted. Again, what is going here most definitely isn't science. It's pure propaganda. Here, as summarised by the BBC's Environment Reporter Matt McGrath, are some of the synthesis report's key claims: 1. Warming is "unequivocal" and
the human influence on climate is clear
2. Since the 1950s the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia 3. The period from 1983 to 2012, it says, was likely the warmest 30 year period of the last 1,400 years 4. Warming impacts are already being seen around the globe, in the acidification of the oceans, the melting of arctic ice and poorer crop yields in many parts 5. Without concerted action on carbon, temperatures will increase over the coming decades and could be almost 5C above pre-industrial levels by the end of this century None of these statements holds up to serious scrutiny. 1. Is so trivial as to be
meaningless. Everyone agrees - dependent on timescale - that warming is
unequivocal and that humans have an impact on climate, from the farts
of beef cattle to the localised warming effects of cities.
2. Is a flat out lie. There have been several recorded instances of temperature rises at least as steep as the one post 1950. The most recent of these was the one between 1910 and 1940. 3. Dishonestly attempts to write off the Medieval Warm Period which - as even Michael Mann once admitted before he fully embraced the alarmist cause - saw average temperatures higher than in the late Twentieth century. 4. Is a litany of half-truths and straw men. Ocean acidification is little more than an urban myth. Arctic melting (or refreezing, as it is doing at the moment) tells us nothing about anthropogenic influences. The crop yields claim is misleading since the one thing we do know about the effects of growing CO2 levels is that they have contributed significantly to the greening of the planet. 5. Is a spectacularly arrogant assertion, giving the paucity of the evidence provided so far to justify it. As for that "5 degrees C by the end of the century" claim: not one of the computer models making such extravagant predictions has had any of its doomy prognostications to date validated by real world evidence. None of this, of course, will prevent the report being enthusiastically trumpeted by the usual suspects across the mainstream media from the Guardian and the BBC to the New York Times as representing incontrovertible truth that climate change is the most serious issue of our time and that we must act now.
