Science FAIL!!!! The Dynamic Duo!
First… Prince Charles, who just the other day said this:
Despite campaigning for years on global warming, he said climate change was not the only problem but merely speeding up the “rapacious” destruction of natural resources like water, land and food that humans need to survive.
Got any proof of that??? Besides the old “it’s obvious things are happening worse now than they were before” thing. Example – Irene is supposed to be proof of global warming, yet it was only a category 1 hurricane when it made landfall. It’s extremely odd to use that as an example… but they do. Oh, the earthquake in Japan was also proof of the effects of global warming, even though no one has ever shown a plausible link to show how global warming causes earthquakes… it just DOES! OK!!!
Not mentioned by Charles in his speech, a recent move by the European Parliament to spend 1.8 million Euro’s on homeopathic research on cows. Prince Charles, the standard barer of all things supposedly science, is a strong advocate of homeopathic medicine. While the European Zone is headed straight into insolvency – Greece is poised to default at any time, the EU decides to throw away 1.8 mil on giving cows magic water. Though Charles strongly promotes homeopathy, and that advocacy does influence the opinion of policy makers in Europe, I’m willing to give him a pass here. Just barely.
Al Gore, on the other hand… Here is what one of his lackeys says will be in the “24 Hours-In-A-Row Inconvienienter Truthier” thing he’s doing on his… Current Channel???? Web site??? Something????…
Wait, I just went to the web site, and I’m unclear how this will all play out. Am I supposed to sit in front of my computer all day for this?
Oh, well, I guess I CAN do that. But to watch JUST ONE THING???…. That Isn’t PORN??????????????
I don’t know! That’s a pretty tall order!!!!
Lost my train of thought there for a moment. I get distracted sometimes when things don’t make sense. Here is what the lackey says of this latest media blitz:
“There will be 200 new slides arguing the connection between more extreme weather and climate change,”
<sarc> New Slides????…. AWESOME!!!!!!!! Consider me converted!!!!!! </sarc>
It would be better if they had 200 peer reviewed papers based on actual observation to bolster their case… But hey, I ask too much. As has been shown over and over again, this all hand waiving by an alarmist sect of science. Real honest science is not what’s really important to them anyway… It’s this:
“There will be a full-on assault on climate skeptics, exploring where they get their funding from.”
Exxon and other Big Oil associates gave President Obama almost $100,000 that we know of during the 2008 campaign… Wonder if he’ll be on the list of bad people?
Yep. it’s not about science, it’s about the same old ad-hom attacks on scientist and bloggers who don’t tow the alarmist party line. (where is my Exxon paycheck btw?) They are going to spend all this time and money, broadcasting to people who are already the true believers! On that – Keep in mind, though this is being labeled as a “broadcast”, it’s nothing of the kind. It is just series of lectures by people that most of us have never heard of, on a topic that most simply don’t care about. Does anyone really think that anyone but the already “very concerned”, who have heard all this before are going to take the time to watch this??? Look at the web site. This is really nothing more than a fund raiser.
PS: From the Reuters article:
The film was criticized by some climate change skeptics for being one-sided.
No. It was criticized for being an Al Gore aggrandizing puff piece and for being scientifically inaccurate, sometimes grossly so.
PSS:
Concern about climate change in the United States, the world’s second biggest emitter, has fallen steadily to 48 percent in 2011, from 62 percent in 2007, an opinion poll showed in August.
Whoa!!!!! We used to be the first!!!! Shouldn’t the new first place holder get some mention in this article? Or is it somehow not important what China and and it’s population thinks about climate change? Also, there are two reasons we Americans don’t care as much about climate change as we used to. Worries like that are a luxury for the rich and well off. That was easy to worry about when you had job security and all. Well, we don’t have things as easy as we did five years ago, and climate change really isn’t very important when you are worried about keeping a house over your families heads. Plus, ummmm… I hate to bring it up… But… you… don’t…. think… you…. may…. have…. a….. problem…. with… the …. messenger? Do you???????
