Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Hot on the heels on the possible identification of the Climategate leak, comes this delightful smackdown of heretical proportions:
India Forms New Climate Change Body
Yes, I know…still towing the AGW line. But wait for it….
India has established its own body to monitor the effects of global warming because it “cannot rely” on the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the group headed by its own Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr R K Pachauri.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Around the World Wide Web
Well, feeling a bit on the rundown side, but thought I would share some of the more interesting bits of news going around the interwebtubenets. Some funny, some stupid, some downright WTF invoking.
We start off in Canada, where we find Newfoundland’s Premier Danny Williams will be having heart surgery here in the United States later this week. Exact location, type of surgery, or method of payment is not known at this time. You can detect the floating question marks coming from Newfoundland all the way over in Texas.
We now go over to China. Deputy Ambassador to Israel Zhang Xiao’an claims that ties with China are deteriorating since Obama became president. The ambassador noted that usually relations between the Chinese gov’t and the new US president start off frosty, but gradually warm up. She claims in this case, it has worked backwards. The Great Uniter strikes again.
Over in Iran, Aquavelvajad (thanks, TheDudeAbides!), is claiming that Iran will will deliver a harsh blow to “global arrogance” (I don’t think he means the French), on February 11th, the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. I can only assume he will have his jacket pressed for the occassion.
Meanwhile in Haiti, the voodoo high priest is raising a stink over being discriminated against, saying evangelical Christians are monopolizing aid coming into the country. Keep in mind this guy holds a degree in Biochemistry from the Universite de Paris, La Sorbonne. Yes, this is a WTF as far as I’m concerned.
In England, Climategate is opening a few eyes, and pouring salt in the open wounds of careers. Now the beleaguered Phil Jones is facing new claims that he sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based. This is not only an OMG, but also a WTF, not because of the claims (we all know about that). No…because this is a feature story on UK’s The Guardian. The freakin’ GUARDIAN, people!!! In the same section they have this: “How the ‘climategate’ scandal is bogus and based on climate sceptics’ lies”. This is the most blatant example of Cover-Your-Ass I have seen in a while.
Hope y’all are adjusting to having six more weeks of winter. I don’t think Punxsutawney Phil got the AGW memo.
Al Gore, Poet Laureate
As we all know, The Goron published a new tome, worthy of holding up wobbly tables, by the title of “Our Choice”. Unfortunately for the rest of the thinking world, the whole book is devoted to what we must do about the OMGWTFCLIMATECHANGE!!!111ELEVENTY!!!, not about any actual choice we may have as individuals. But this little gem is found within its chapters, right between OMG and WTF:
One thin September soon
A floating continent disappears
In midnight sunVapors rise as
Fever settles on an acid sea
Really?? He can pinpoint with deadly accuracy the month when the seas will boil? Moving along:
Snow glides from the mountain
Ice fathers floods for a season
A hard rain comes quicklyThen dirt is parched
Kindling is placed in the forest
For the lightning’s celebration
You know, Al…we wouldn’t have the whole “kindling” problem if the fucking envirowackos who worship you would let us control it. And as far as “snow gliding”, well, that happens every spring. It’s called a melt, necessary to provide areas with water, oh Moronic One. And the coup de grace:
The shepherd cries
The hour of choosing has arrived
Here are your tools
Ahhhh, now I get it: The Goron is our Shepherd, and we shall not want!!!! Newsflash: WE ARE NOT SHEEP!!!! So, sod off, you Gaia Prophet, and make sure you give that Gulfstream a tune-up, preferably by sucking on the tailpipe.
EPA has lost its mind
From Watts Up With That:
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will early next week, possibly as soon as Monday, officially declare carbon dioxide a public danger, a trigger that could mean regulation for emitters across the economy, according to several people close to the matter.
As the ClimateGate Turns….
This comes as no surprise. Phil Jones, the esteemed (and by “esteemed”, I mean a steaming pile of pig offal) director of the East Anglia Climate Research Unit, is stepping down:
Britain’s University of East Anglia says the director of its prestigious Climatic Research Unit is stepping down pending an investigation into allegations that he overstated the case for man-made climate change.
The university says Phil Jones will relinquish his position until the completion of an independent review into allegations that he worked to alter the way in which global temperature data was presented.
He is stepping down temporarily only. Hard to give up power when one has cultivated it for so long, isn’t it?
Perhaps the whole concept of showing one’s work was simply too much for him….
UPDATE: Looks like Penn State will be conducting an investigation into ClimateGate. Insert smirk here.
