Like the massive piles of Global Warming on my front porch and lawn, the consensus is slowly melting. There might be anthropogenic warming, but without better data interpretation, how could we tell? And doesn't Mr. Sun have something to do with this?

Beam me to Planet Gore !

Did I mention that Al Gore is my first cousin once removed?

"Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers."

Sounds like a certain politician and his birth certificate.

Yesterday was an historic day for America.

There was snow in 49 of the 50 states.

I am assuming Hawaii did not count the extant snow on the top of Mauna Loa as fresh snowfall, otherwise it would have been 50.

Al Gore could not be reached for comment as his Tennessee mansion was buried in Snow.

The most recent issue of Scientific American contains a short article entitled Negating "Climategate": Copenhagen Talks and Climate Science Survive Stolen E-mail Controversy."

In this article, Scientific American doubles down in it's self-appointed role as the "defender of climate science." This is a very slight change in tone, however: when responding to the Bjorn Lomborg book The Skeptical Environmentalist back in 2001, Scientific American proclaimed itself to be "defending science." Now they're defending "climate science." I wonder what they'll be calling what they're defending this time next year.

Is this thing dead yet?

Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.

Lost them in his shredder.

There are no need for condolences. Al Gore Sr. and my grandmother were siblings. I don’t know the man that well, but I’m not ashamed of the connection, any more than I am of my relation to William Howard Taft. I am me, not my relatives.

It’s sort of sad to watch certain media personalities like Geraldo drag out leftist “experts” who twist and contort themselves in a desperate effort to save their doomed social engineering project, now known as Climategate.

The only thing is, if these *scientists* are now going to say there is no global warming, I may have to be inclined to think there’s something to it!

[outhousepatrol]

So, who has the most FRAUDULENT NOBEL PRIZE? Al Gore, or is it Obama?

We have a world of over-educated idiots. That’s how we got in the mess Ollie!

I’ve been going at it with some retired eco-nut Leftist on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJR9O-26FaY

You should read what she says about global warming and the snow that hit Dallas. She is a definitely a nut and flake.

[yeetch!]

WOW! The nightmare is over!

“the world was warmer in medieval times than now”

Wow a Medieval Evil ping. Don’t get those very often.

Like the massive piles of Global Warming on my front porch and lawn...

Weather not Climate,
It's Global Climate Change now...
Forget the "Warming".

And in other news...

Tanking Poll Numbers
From now on shall be known as
Approval Poll Change...

According to Mr Harrabin, colleagues of Professor Jones said ‘his office is piled high with paper, fragments from over the years, tens of thousands of pieces of paper, and they suspect what happened was he took in the raw data to a central database and then let the pieces of paper go because he never realised that 20 years later he would be held to account over them'

Never realized he would be held to account for the missing data? Oh really? Ever heard of peer review, scrutiny, rigor, backing up your hypothesis with evidence? This is as bad as the dog ate my homework.

Please forgive me for asking, but I read in several places about Al Seniors connections to the communist Armand Hammer. Would you know anything about that? Is there any truth to. What I’ve read that the family has been used by the soviets to further their goals in America. Comments?
