Beam me to Planet Gore !

A catastrophic heat wave appears to be closing in on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. How hot is it getting in the scientific kitchen where they've been cooking the books and spicing up the stew pots? So hot, apparently, that Andrew Weaver, probably Canada's leading climate scientist, is calling for replacement of IPCC leadership and institutional reform.
If Andrew Weaver is heading for the exits, it's a pretty sure sign that the United Nations agency is under monumental stress. Mr. Weaver, after all, has been a major IPCC science insider for years. He is Canada Research Chair in Climate Modelling and Analysis at the University of Victoria, mastermind of one of the most sophisticated climate modelling systems on the planet, and lead author on two recent landmark IPCC reports.
For him to say, as he told Canwest News yesterday, that there has been some "dangerous crossing" of the line between climate advocacy and science at the IPCC is stunning in itself.
Not only is Mr. Weaver an IPCC insider. He has also, over the years, generated his own volume of climate advocacy that often seemed to have crossed that dangerous line between hype and science.
It is Mr. Weaver, for example, who said the IPCC's 2007 science report -- the one now subject to some scrutiny -- "isn't a smoking gun; climate is a battalion of intergalactic smoking missiles."
He has also made numerous television appearances linking current weather and temperature events with global warming, painting sensational pictures and dramatic links.
"When you see these [temperature] numbers, it's screaming out at you: 'This is global warming!"
Mr. Weaver is also one of the authors of The Copenhagen Diagnosis, an IPCC-related piece of agit-prop issued just before the recent Copenhagen meeting.

"In the language typical of an IPCC report, one might say that the radiative forcing created by Climategate and Glaciergate strongly suggest this is very likely to bring about cataclysmic melting of the organization within the next portion of the current decadal period. The words "very likely" in IPCC risk assessment terms mean a 90% or greater probability that something will happen. As it looks now, the IPCC is burnt toast and unless it is overhauled fast there's a 90% probability the climate-change political machine is going to come crashing down. "
Scientists using selective temperature data, skeptics say
The article describes the progressive reduction of the use of thermometers in high altitudes and in the north. The article includes this paragraph:
"NOAA . . . systematically eliminated 75% of the world's stations with a clear bias towards removing higher latitude, high altitude and rural locations, all of which had a tendency to be cooler," the authors say. "The thermometers in a sense, marched towards the tropics, the sea, and to airport tarmacs."
I posted the article (abridged as required by National Post) on Free Republic here:
These climate scientists remind me of preachers who look at what’s happening in the world today, then try to apply it directly to some passage in Revelations and predict that the end of the world is coming..
The AGW hoax is another great example of how a few lefties in key positions can, by making enough noise, control the political scene. This guy is just trying to escape a burning house, pun intended, before it collapses.
Other examples are the financial "crisis" and the health care "crisis." Both are hoaxes created by the Democrats to gain and keep total control over all of us and our massive government.
I bet Gore is really pissed at himself for inventing the internet.
If it wasn’t for the internet, none of this scam/fraud/total BS would be exposed.
And then there’s the un-peer-reviewed claim in the IPCC report that 40% of the Amazon forest will be lost:

At least the preacher only passes a collection plate. The government uses the coercion of taxes.
Perhaps some of the client scientists could get a gig on the Benny Hinn show. He could heal them and they could become real scientists again.... : ) Is Benny Hinn still on TV somewhere???
Benny Hinn? You mean Benny Hill. At any rate, neither of them are on tv anymore. The BBC decided shows about people eating vegetables and cleaning their houses were more interesting than watching repeats of one of the funniest comedians in history.
pls add me to ur piing list
Will do. Welcome aboard.
Thanks for the mental image of this pudgy faith-healer saying "Thank you Je-zussss" while chasing British girls in hot pants around a table.
I think he meant Benny Hinn.
He appears to be a televangelist.
First time I've ever heard of him. My mistake.
Please read the whole of the original article before commenting.
I haven't done that since Oct '98. What makes you think I'm going to start now?
