Steyn on Dopen-HOG-en.
Fuzzy memory alert. Dopen-HOG-en is not the first summit where the weather suddenly became cold. It happens with almost every global warming summit.
I recall Kyoto, where people froze their tails off. They had an ice sculture that they planned to point out was melting, but it was too cold to melt. They refused to turn on the heat and shivered.
Once there was a summit in Hawaii. It snowed for the first time in many peoples’ lives on a certain island there. They did not even have winter clothing.
Like I said — fuzzy memory alert.
A tide gauge to measure sea level has been in existence at Tuvalu since 1977, run by the University of Hawaii It showed a negligible increase of only 0.07 mm per year over two decades It fell three millimeters between 1995 and 1999. The complete record can still be seen on John Daly's website: (the URL has changed) Obviously this could not be tolerated, so the gauge was closed in 1999 and a new, more modern tide gauge was set up by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's National Tidal Center by Flinders University at Adelaide. But Tuvalu refuses to submit to political pressure. The sea level has actually fallen since then Tuvalu cannot be allowed to get away with it. So Greenpeace employed Dr John Hunter. a climatologist of the University of Tasmania, who obligingly "adjusted" the Tuvalu readings upwards to comply with changes in ENSO and those found for the island of Hawaii and, miraculously, he found a sea level rise of "around" 1.2 mm a year which, also miraculously, agrees with the IPCC global figure.
I'm sure everybody is just shocked about this.
