Did you know the delegates at Copenhagen have their own bus? Do you have any idea how lonely the driver is?
“We’re standing at the abyss! Mankind is doomed if we don’t do something right now! Um… as long as it doesn’t interfere with my personal convenience and comfort.” At least that guy in the clown car was committed to the concept, if not his own dignity.
There’s so much going on with Climategate that it’s hard to keep up, you guys!
- Scientists in England are fighting accusations of groupthink with… more groupthink.
- Sarah Palin writes a Washington Post op-ed on Climategate, Al Gore responds (“Global warming is like gravity, you denying denialist denier”), and Palin returns fire (“Yeah, genius, it’s a naturally occurring process and you can’t change it by ruining the economy”).
- The news is finally catching on to, well, the news. But mainly to tell us that it’s not really news. “Nothing to see here, people!”
- The founder of the Weather Channel says Climategate is a fight between David and Goliath, and “Goliath now occupies Copenhagen.”
- Every breath you take, the EPA is watching you.
- To paraphrase one of the greats: “Science.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
You’d think these guys would be happy that we’re all gonna be okay. But then they wouldn’t have such a convenient excuse to boss us around.

CO2 is a dangerous pollutant…which is emitted by every mammal on the planet.
Solution: we need to kill ourselves and all the other mammals. Including whales.
Dave, that’s what the eco-nazis and the PeTards want. Why fall for their devious and cunning plan?
If that’s really what they want, they should set and example and kill themselves first. Martyrs for their cause, songs sung in Valhalla, and whatnot.
Yeah, let them drink the KoolAid first…
I’m not watching a video that has Beatles music in it. So I’ll take your word for it.
You’ll notice that all those claiming that people are bad for the earth generally refuse to shut up and off themselves. It’s a case of “I wish I were dead. No, wait. Not me, YOU.”
Boss us around and take our money. >:P
Something that really bothers me about the whole Climategate scandal is this:
Just what other scientific declarations have been based on bogus “facts” and fudged numbers that we don’t know about? From AIDS to cancer research to any number of other scientific theories, how many of them may in fact have been based on data that was manipulated behind some closed door that the public doesn’t know about?
It’s truly a scary thought. We just assumed that the scientists wouldn’t mislead us, but Climategate has demonstrated otherwise.
In what other areas have they possibly misled us?
Bigfoot?
Vince, check out Ben Stein’s documentary “Expelled,” about academics and teachers who were blackballed and/or fired over intelligent design: some of them weren’t even proponents of ID, they were merely perceived as being favorable toward it. Regardless of one’s opinion on the topic, the film is worth seeing just as proof that the system is broken and can screw you over very, very badly.
I love how idiots plunk the word ‘science’ into an argument to make themselves look smart. Their biased, ignorant opinions need validation, so they use a big word that will make people sit up and take note! Guess what Al Gore? Science is a vast, complex,and ever-changing field. You can rarely (if ever) say that science is settled! If it’s settled, you’re probably not doing it right. Oh wait. . .
Besides, can you picture these idiots on a bus?
“Ninety-nine bottles of CO2 on the wall, ninety-nine bottle of CO2…if one of the bottles should happen to fall, OMG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
I like how a couple thousand scientists in England agree with AGW, they get huge media coverage. Thirty thousand scientists sign a petition disagreeing (I think a school in Oregon sponsored it), barely a blip on the news. Good to know who counts.
I am seriously bothered that the so-called scientists deliberately manipulated data, lied, sought to influence independent peer journals and otherwise behaved dishonestly and unethically (if not illegally). Shouldn’t there be some sort of sanctions put in place by scientific associations and bodies? Why would anyone want to taint their professionalism and credibility by supporting these tools? As a bio major, I’m embarrassed to be considering a RELATED field. I guess that people really are deluded if they think such behavior should be overlooked.
Because the evil scientists (BOO!) control Ed Begley Jr.’s “peer review”. If you don’t agree with the evil scientists (BOO!), then you don’t get to have your opinions published and you get run out of your field on a rail.
Basically, we’re back in high school and the evil scientists (BOO!) [sorry, watching Bugs Bunny again] are the Rich Popular Bastards Who Will Ruin Your Life For Fun Because They Can.
I have come to the conclusion the evil scientists are the same people who keep telling us that being a size 4 is fat and men prefer well busty women. Liars I tell you…evil liars :0)
Forgive my vagueness on this, but remember a couple of years ago, when that scientist in South Korea faked his results on some sort of stem-cell research and was roundly condemned/burned in effigy/regarded as being almost as bad as Bush? WHY ISN’T THAT HAPPENING NOW?!?
I was always taught that science is about honest, open-ended inquiry and discovery. Turns out, scientists use “facts” like drunks use lampposts: For support, not illumination. They start out with the conclusion they want to reach, and work backwards from there.
“I was always taught that science is about honest, open-ended inquiry and discovery. Turns out, scientists use “facts” like drunks use lampposts: For support, not illumination.”
Quite possibly the most brilliant ANYTHING I’ve ever read in my life.
Thank you!
“and men prefer well busty women. “… Um…
And Beige, that’s a great analogy. Probably because it’s a double analogy, or something, I don’t know, I’m only 1/10 of the way through my morning coffee and my brain hasn’t turned on yet.
Beige, That is a good question. Stem cell research certainly has a political angle to it. Just not as exciting as saving the earth for the eco-celebs of the world.
Pasta,
Bigfoot is a crucial part of the ecosystem, if he exists. So let’s all keep Bigfoot possibly alive for future generations, unless he doesn’t exist.
We’d better put in some environmental protections for Bigfoot, just in case.
AllyKat, I propose a stimulus package of roughly $971 billion. American. For the purpose of keeping Bigfoot in shampoo, heartworm pills, and Sasquatch porn.
And don’t forget about health care… Bigfoot needs health care… but we all have to pay for it.
What if Bigfoot needs abortions?
We can pay for Bigfoot abortions with the money we used to spend on her mammograms.
Bad news for Bigfoot, though: Only one child per, and once she/he is past 50, she’s toast. No longer contributing to society, y’know.
Dave, that’s what the eco-nazis and the PeTards want. Why fall for their devious and cunning plan?
