Think of the fossil fuels being burned to keep these leftist university “climate” study departments operating.

Let me freeze—in the dark!

They should slit their own throats to reduce their footprints.

“Audiences are turned off by scientists that use lots of energy at home”. Yeah, that’s because they’re f*cking hypocrites. Funny how these climate zealots are all for making you shiver in the dark but boy ask them to walk the walk and then well, my work is too important to be inconvenienced. And besides my contribution is only one ten millionth of one percent of the problem so give me a pass.

But math is racist! A college professor said so!

They’ll berate you for not sending them a gay blade or bisexual razor.

In 2008 i was told by my instructor in my masters course if I wanted grant money all I had to do was tie my thesis and conclusion to global warming (the prevailing wisdom at the time) even if my paper was not science related I would get the funding. My master’s class was on space sciences and the instructor was a retired submarine officer teaching project management.
Global climate studies is a money maker for the sham scientific community. I just hope the truth is out there (real science based on true data) and no I did not try for the money.

I wonder if she’d like to share what she learned about climate change in Borneo. It used to be wet and it’s not wet any longer? Or it used to be dry and it’s not dry any longer? Or the natives are all living in trees to escape the flooding?

When I walk through ashes and then come into the house my wife gets mad at my carbon footprints.

Cobb will fly just once next year, to attend a massive international science meeting in Chile.

Illegals can walk that far, so can she. Or Skype the meeting. In this day and age, none of them need to travel outside their front doors.

Not enough. Could easily attend by Skype ... but then she couldn’t personally attend the drinking, drugging and whoring parties.

The same people will “flight-shame” the “little guy”, Thunberg-style.

Every ‘climate footprint’ survey I have seen/taken puts a huge penalty on air travel. I have taken these with different answers to determine the weighting.

Good it’s backfiring.
