Someone In The Climate Change Movement Lying? NO Way.

Published by Daisy on January 30, 2010 in General Political Mockery. 4 Comments Tags: , , , , .

Rajendra Pachauri, the chairman of the leading climate change watchdog, was told about the falsehood of melting Himalayan glaciers BEFORE the Copenhagen summit. However, he sort of neglected to say anything. In fact, he actually said that he was never told.

Um, oops.

The “Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment that the glaciers would disappear by 2035 was wrong, but he waited two months to correct it. He failed to act despite learning that the claim had been refuted by several leading glaciologists.”

Of course, after being called out on being a total liar, he fessed up and said he heard about it like ten days ago, adding, “That’s ridiculous. It never came to my attention before the Copenhagen summit. It wasn’t in the public sphere.”

Turns out he was telling a little lie – one as white as the Himalayans, I guess. The Himalayan glaciers are so thick and at such high altitude that most glaciologists believe they would take several hundred years to melt at the present rate. Some are growing and many show little sign of change.

The dude who apparently told him about the falsehood said to him, “I pointed it out [the error] to you in several e-mails, several discussions, yet you decided to overlook it. Was that so that you did not want to destabilise what was happening in Copenhagen?”

Dr Pachauri replied: “Not at all, not at all. As it happens, we were all terribly preoccupied with a lot of events. We were working round the clock with several things that had to be done in Copenhagen. It was only when the story broke, I think in December, we decided to, well, early this month — as a matter of fact, I can give you the exact dates — early in January that we decided to go into it and we moved very fast.

“And within three or four days, we were able to come up with a clear and a very honest and objective assessment of what had happened. So I think this presumption on your part or on the part of any others is totally wrong. We are certainly never — and I can say this categorically — ever going to do anything other than what is truthful and what upholds the veracity of science.”

Yeah, riiiiight. In the meantime, he secured a bunch of grant money through his so-called science. And, monkeys flew out of my assular area.

Yet Another Reason Why Global Warming Is A Big Old Scam

Looks like Al McManBearPig and pals are in good, mentally-stable company. Osama Bin Laden believes in global warming, so much so that he thinks it’s all America’s fault, of course. Or at least he says this, anyway. According to this article, Nutjob Bin Crazy has “called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.”

He blamed all of us dirty Americans for “hunger, desertification and floods across the globe, and called for “drastic solutions” to global warming, and “not solutions that partially reduce the effect of climate change.” And then he called for a stop on using the American “dollar and get rid of it as soon as possible,” he said. “I know that this has great consequences and grave ramifications, but it is the only means to liberate humanity from slavery and dependence on America.”

Basically, Wackjob McGee is trying to have his message of murder and insanity reach past his Islamic militant cult following.

So, I’m wondering – will Nancy McBotox jump on this bandwagon? It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

GAWD.

I Kind Of Love This Dude…

This guy reminds me of a British version of my Grandaddy (God rest his wonderful, adorable soul). My Grandaddy was the kind of guy who didn’t give two craps what you thought about him and he spoke the truth. Always. Like, when I gained my undergraduate freshman 10 pounds, he looked at me on Christmas break and said, “You look kind of thick, girl.” I mean, this may be a bit offensive to some, but I actually appreciated the fact that he loved me enough to tell me the truth. And, I put the beer down just a bit that next semester as a result.

The truth is always a good thing. And it’s precisely what Godfrey Bloom, member of European Parliament is spouting here when talking about the absolute taxpayer-money-in-Gore’s-deep-pockets joke that is global warming.

He says what I’d like to say, really. Just in a highly entertaining “Benny Hill is soooo irritated” kind of way. Love.

Are you listening, McManBearPig?

Mel Gibson’s Partner In That Lethal Weapon Movie – Now A Political AND Climate Expert

Impressive. Really.

I saw this today on Ihatethemedia.com, and I wanted to punch my laptop screen.

First of all, we have some sort of “news” outlet reporting on the earthquake in Haiti, and they get Danny Freakin’ Glover to pipe in as to what he feels are the culprits behind the catastrophe. You know, because he was in those Lethal Weapon movies. So he must be smart and stuff.

First of all, Danny is giving kudos to Venezuela and “KOOBAH” (spoken like a true thespian) for recognizing the international importance of this catastrophe. And, on top of that, he’s blaming global warming. Climate change is the reason. And we should all take this as prophecy, again, because he was in those Lethal Weapon movies.

What in the holy hell are we coming to as a nation when we interview moron celebrities in situations like this?

I weep for the future.

Holy Mother of Batsh*t Crazy.

Hey, Look Everyone! Rolling Stone Is Now An Expert In Global Warming Politics

Published by Daisy on January 12, 2010 in General Political Mockery. 6 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

I have a subscription to Rolling Stone magazine. I may not have it much longer, though, because I have become increasingly annoyed with them shoving leftist crap down my throat. Seriously, people. Can you not just stick to writing about the current status of ABBA and Disney’s teeny-bopper du jour, for crying out loud? Here’s the most recent cover I had the pleasure of looking at over coffee this morning:

Case in point: this article, titled, The Climate Killers: Meet the 17 polluters and deniers who are derailing efforts to curb global warming

It talks about the 17 most evil people that are not working alongside global warming fanatics to ultimately monitor, control, and tax every single freakin’ thing you do in life.

What a bunch of greedy bastards, right?

They all kind of remind me of this dude, actually – John Hirst, the head of the Met Office, who currently makes a bigger salary than the UK Prime Minister.

Yeah. He’s one of those really caring and compassionate environmentalist weather dudes that predicted the doom and gloom of global warming. Right before it got really, really cold, that is.

Weird how that whole double-standard thing works.

I wonder how much cold, hard, undeserved cash Al McManBearPig pocketed in 2009…..huh…..

Copenhaven: A Kegger For Congress With Caviar, Of Course

So, you guys remember that whole Copenhagen global warming trip? And you know how the left is all militant about everyone’s individual carbon footprints?

Well, at least a tiny portion of the data is in, and that trip was a huge carbon footprint from hell. In fact, when I read the stats on how much was spent just on a few things (they’re still trying to get the rest of the data, as the environmental crusaders seemed to become tight-lipped when asked for it, of course), it just conjured up a mental picture of Nancy McBotox giving all of us taxpayers a huge middle finger.

Environmentalists, my ass. These yahoos are partying on your dime. And if you think otherwise, it’s time to wake up and smell the snow on the ground.

According to CBS News, “the congressional delegation was so large, it needed three military jets: two 737’s and a Gulfstream Five — up to 64 passengers — traveling in luxurious comfort. Add senators and staff, most of whom flew commercial, and we counted at least 101 Congress-related attendees. All for a summit that failed to deliver a global climate deal.”

Here is just a snippet of the cost to you, since figures are still being pulled out of Congressional records:

  • Three military jets at $9,900 per hour – $168,000 just in flight time.
  • Dozens flew commercial at up to $2,000 each.
  • 321 hotel nights booked – the bulk at Copenhagen’s five-star Marriott.
  • Meals add tens of thousands more.

Their collective carbon footprint?
They produced enough climate-stunting carbon dioxide to fill 10,000 Olympic swimming pools.

Absolute and total fail. But hey everyone, let’s all get on board with Cap and Tax because these people REALLY, really care about the environment. And you.

Brilliant.

It’s not global warming, you guys. It’s CLIMATE CHANGE. That’s the new way that environmental wackjobs (up to and including this administration) intend to talk about man causing all of the earth’s ills. “Global warming” obviously isn’t working anymore, what with all of this record cold across the entire globe and whatnot.

But behold for a moment, the brilliance of Bobby, when confronted about the fact that it’s, you know, FREEZING everywhere. His reply? “I would say that even in places that are used to getting very cold weather, record cold…our weather patterns have been affected by change in our climate.”

According to the National Center for Public Policy Research, Obama’s new counterterrorism plan is to put the cream of the crop CIA agents on global warming duty. Yep. You read that correctly. I said global warming duty.

The “Obama Administration is tasking some of our nation’s most elite intelligence-gathering agencies to divert their resources to environmental scientists researching global warming.”

They’ve “restarted a program in which scientists are obtaining classified intelligence data from the Central Intelligence Agency and National Reconnaissance Office. Information from these secret government surveillance programs is being used to track climate change.”

I think this dude’s reaction says it best:

“Given the very real threat posed by terrorists, it is ridiculous and downright dangerous to divert any intelligence resources to monitoring polar ice,” added Project 21’s Deneen Borelli. “Its said this won’t hinder regular intelligence-gathering, but it’s also clear that agencies can’t yet share data and track a terrorism suspect who was identified by his own father. It’s unwise to further distract our intelligence network by forcing it to consult with scientists about icebergs, polar bears and sea lions. The Obama Administration appears to be putting a left-wing political agenda before the safety and security of our nation.”

Way to give a rat’s ass about the safety of Americans, Bo.

ATTENTION TOWNSPEOPLE: Global Warming Is Daisy’s Fault!

Published by Mockarena on December 22, 2009 in Really?. 19 Comments Tags: , , .

According to this, a new book by Robert and Brenda Vale has revealed that the carbon “pawprint” of dogs is more than DOUBLE that of an SUV.

Daisy has 3 great danes and a boxer.  Obviously, the only logical conclusion one can draw from this is that a significant amount of global warming is directly attributable to Daisy’s dogs.  Which means, using standard alarmist logic, that global warming is Daisy’s fault and WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.

But it’s not just dogs, apparently.  The Vales claim that other animals are pretty tough on the environment too.  Cats apparently equate, footprint-wise, to driving a VW Golf for a year.  Two hamsters = plasma tv.  And those evil, evil goldfish?  Why – they’re as bad as TWO CELL PHONES.

The solution?  The Vales say humans should be “encouraged to take the environmental impact of their future possession/companion into account.”  Are you listening, Daisy?  :)

But even better than just taking the environmental impact into account is simply choosing pets that you can use for food.  So – you know, give up the danes and grab a chicken to cuddle with.

And people wonder why the whole global warming hoax has become so laughable.

GAWD.

Bo’s Visit To Copenhagen: Anger, Drama, Then More Unnecessary Bowing.

Published by Daisy on December 18, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

Bo went over to Copenhagen and got all pissy in his speech, apparently, talking about life hanging in the balance and whatnot. He’s scary, you know. Just ask all of the people in other countries around the world who hate us and want us to die slow and painful deaths. They’re all shaking in their boots from the fuzzy, surly puppies he’s been hurling at them for the past year.

Here’s the dramatic exit of his speech. With more bowing. Because of COURSE there’s more bowing.

You know, maybe he’s not really pissed off at the global warming thing as much as he’s pissed off about the fact that, when compared to the approval ratings for modern elected presidents in their first year in office, his standing is the worst. Yeah. That could be it.

Al-Gore-Explains-Cold-Weather-701167

So, McManBearPig goes over to Copenhagen to act like he’s a scientist or something. You know, in addition to inventing the Internet and all.

He makes this blanket statement:
“These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr Wieslav Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years,” The Times quoted Gore, as saying.

The problem is that Maslowski sort of called him out on the fact that he blatantly misquoted him. And that he would never say such a thing. His exact words: “I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

Nice work, McManBearPig. Way to dig your way out of that hole.

Oh, and it’s 13 right now in my Midwest city. Brrrrr. I’m just sayin.

We’ve written about this dude before, and every time I see him, I like him just a little bit more. He’s that guy that can completely disarm you with his charm, while simultaneously making you look like a complete imbecile. It’s a gift, really. And, the gift is being given nicely to this Greenpeace chick while in Copenhagen about the subject of global warming.

It’s Only O.K. To Use Scare Tactics If You’re Bo, Of Course

Published by Daisy on December 12, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , .

In yet another hypocritical moment in his presidency, Bo made it a point to scare the crap out of people by making climate change a security issue. You know, because that global warming thing is as bad as Kim Jong-Il wanting all of us Americans to die a slow, painful death. Yep.

His exact words from that Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in Oslo, where he of course talked about this horrendous threat to our security:

“There is little scientific dispute that if we do nothing, we will face more drought, more famine, more mass displacement – all of which will fuel more conflict for decades,” and then he drew attention to the question of security in the climate problem:

“It is not merely scientists and environmental activists who call for swift and forceful action – it’s military leaders in my own country and others who understand that our common security hangs in the balance.”

Funny how it’s O.K. for him to use this kind of tactic, but scolded Republicans last week for the “trying to scare the American people” about his proposals.

Republicans don’t need to do that, Bo. They’re scary enough all on their own.

Al McManBearPig Is Now Living In His Own Time Dimension

Published by Daisy on December 10, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 4 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

AlGoreAndGlowingOrb

When asked about those Climategate emails, Al Gore answered in iambic pentameter.

I’m kidding. He didn’t do that. But he did manage to say how the emails were from TEN YEARS AGO – three times, to be exact. As if saying it three times would make it true.

Basically, McManBearPig didn’t read the emails at all. Because, the fact is that one was from just two months ago. Another was sent on November 12 – just a month ago. Ones from Tom Wigley are all from this year. Aaaand, Phil Jones’ infamous email urging other Climategate scientists to delete emails is from last year.

But McManBearPig just keeps spewing that they’re from ten years ago (while paraphrasing Shakespeare, of course, because we’d expect no less from such a scholarly pillar of smarts).

To paraphrase Shakespeare, it’s sound and fury signifying nothing. I haven’t read all the e-mails, but the most recent one is more than 10 years old. These private exchanges between these scientists do not in any way cause any question about the scientific consensus.

I think it’s been taken wildly out of context. The discussion you’re referring to was about two papers that two of these scientists felt shouldn’t be accepted as part of the IPCC report. Both of them, in fact, were included, referenced, and discussed. So an e-mail exchange more than 10 years ago including somebody’s opinion that a particular study isn’t any good is one thing, but the fact that the study ended up being included and discussed anyway is a more powerful comment on what the result of the scientific process really is.

These people are examining what they can or should do to deal with the P.R. dimensions of this, but where the scientific consensus is concerned, it’s completely unchanged. What we’re seeing is a set of changes worldwide that just make this discussion over 10-year-old e-mails kind of silly.

His time dimension includes flowers and poetry and incense, I’ve heard – with absolutely no sense of reality or, well, clocks.

That ignorance thing sure is bliss.

You guys, there is the most nauseating article in Vanity Fair right now.  It’s an article which sings the praises of Al Gore’s book Our Choice, and more specifically, of the POEM HE WROTE IN IT.

I’m sure he’ll be the next Pulitzer winner.  There is absolutely no question in my mind that whatever awards are possible for Al Gore to win, he’ll win, because he has so many people snowed.  In fact, I’m surprised that he hasn’t yet won a MTV music video award.

Wait.  Has he?  I could be wrong about that.

Anyway, allow me to share some of the adjectives the article’s author chooses to use about Al Gore and his poem:  fresh, beautiful, evocative, disturbing, accomplished, nuanced, arresting, and my favorite – scientifically accurate.  Isn’t that hilarious?  Here is the poem in its entirety:

One thin September soon
A floating continent disappears
In midnight sun

Vapors rise as
Fever settles on an acid sea

Snow glides from the mountain
Ice fathers floods for a season
A hard rain comes quickly

Then dirt is parched
Kindling is placed in the forest
For the lightning’s celebration

The shepherd cries
The hour of choosing has arrived
Here are your tools

I think Al might think he’s a shepherd.  Shepherds are known the world over as inventors of the internet.  I wasn’t sure if you knew that or not.

Meantime, the amount of CO2 being emitted at the Copenhagen meeting is equivalent to the daily amount of carbon dioxide produced by 30 of the world’s smaller countries. 

NEAT!

Time To Start Squirming, McManBearPig…

I kind of love these guys. They’re a group called We Are Change Chicago. Just this past weekend, they went into a Borders on State Street in Chicago while McManBearPig was doing one of his many “look at me, I invented the Internet” book signings, and you know what they did? They challenged him. They even screamed a little, which I thought was a bit overdue at this point, seeing as how Climategate is still not being duly covered by the MSM. And they did this protesting while simultaneously being yelled at by all the lemmings waiting in line to get their book signed by McManBearPig. Yep. I said lemmings.

Some of the transcript of what went down:

First up was Saad Ali. As he approached Gore, he peacefully and respectably asked, Sir, can you comment on the emails and documents that were hacked [ClimateGate] that reveal that the research was a fraud and that it was all manipulated? Gore, with an evil smirk, claimed that he never read them. By the look on his face and his stutter, it became quite clear that Gore was extremely uncomfortable with the question, so he quickly glared towards his security. The agents grabbed and assaulted Saad, escorting him away from Gore for merely asking a simple question. The press took notice and started filming and snapping pictures of what was going on. One of which appeared the next day in the Chicago Sun Times.

Following Saads confrontation, Sati Word, a member of WAC Chicago, questioned Gore on why the IPCC hasnt released any reports on sunspot activity. However, before he could get an answer from Gore, security grabbed Sati and escorted him out of the building.

A little while later, Anthony, an activist from We Are Change Ohio, approached Gore and handed him the petition of the 31,486 scientists who say that Global Warming is a complete hoax. Anthony asked, What do you think about the science behind this sir? Mr. Gore rolled his eyes, and security escorted him out of the building.

Steve (swizzlesteve), was the last activist to question Gore. Within seconds of asking, Any comments on ClimateGate? The emails that prove its a scam, a farce, that global warming is a joke, any comment? Mr. Gore is heard to utter a few uhhhhhhhs and security quickly steps in to remove him as well.

It’s a 6-minute video, but well worth the watch on a Friday. And, McManBearPig’s smugness is palpable. As is the huge SUV he takes off in at the end of the clip.

Wake up, people and cop a clue. GAWD.

Hey, Remember Ed Begley Jr.’s Freakout?

Published by Mockarena on November 28, 2009 in Really?. 5 Comments Tags: , , , .

2009-11-28 10 10 16

Hopefully you all had a chance to witness Ed Begley Jr. sputtering in fury at Stuart Varney the other day.  If you did, you’ll have noticed that his main argument in defending the hoax that is global warming hysteria was “peer review studies.”  He talked about peer review studies as if they were incontrovertible proof that global warming exists, that it is all our fault, and that we have to immediately all start riding bikes and cease using incandescent light bulbs or WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.

Today, I read this article by Mark Steyn, which I loved not only because it completely obliterated Begley’s “peer reviews” but also because it did it in a totally snarky way.  And you know we chicks love the snark.

Steyn explains that the trouble with the peer review system is that chosen “peers” have completely corrupted the process.  The Climate Research Unit (CRU) basically controls the science behind the IPCC, which is what Congress relied on for its cap and trade scheme.  And, it’s what the whole Copenhagen field trip is based on as well.  

When papers are published which go against the CRU, then the CRU folks work to remove them from consideration as legitimate sources of news.  This was all proven in the exposed emails from last week.  An example was of Dr Jones from the CRU writing to his colleague about two dissenting articles, “I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow – even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”

Yeah.  You know what that demonstrates?  That the CRU follows the ACORN guidebook of ethical conduct.  And Ed Begley Jr., sputtering and spitting, buys it all, because the alternative is admitting that his “green” lifestyle has been a complete waste of time.

Speaking of “Climategate”
