Scientists have announced they found another error in their data in support of global warming, having now just realized that they weren’t actually recording temperatures for the past century but instead were looking at wind speed. “D’oh,” explained one climatologist. Still, scientists assure the public that they remain a 110% certain that we will all die in floods and tornadoes if we don’t switch our incandescent bulbs with compact florescent ones.
Scientists also want to remind the public that they are much smarter than the average man and anyone who questions them is a heretic.
I’m just a little curious about why, every time they find a mistake with their numbers, the mistake always made warming seem worse. There’s never a “we underestimated the effects,” it’s always “oopsie, we need to cut out estimates a bit.”
Remember that “oceans are going to rise 20 feet” thing? It’s 1.5 feet now. What used to be “probable” is now the outlying, low-probability estimate, and the old lowball guess is now the middle-of-the-road one…
I am truly amazed that all of these “newfound errors” coming out now are such a “surprise” to so many people. I had thought it was already common knowledge that there is in fact, no such thing as Global Warming. Most folks in the know around here are already well aware of the fact that in 1979 Chuck Norris caught a Cold, and merely turned up the Sun. Why all the hub-bub about it now?
Have fun ;)!

But they can’t burn heretics at the stake anymore cause that’ll make global warming worse, right?
Very good, shimauma! Go to the head of the class! 😀
I blame this whole fiasco on Motown’s decimation of The Four Seasons, back in the early ’60s.
All I know is that it’s been too long since I’ve seen Jim Cantore in a rain slicker telling us there’s a big mother of a hurricane that he’s standing in right now!
“How are things in (name of city), Jim”
“Looks pretty grim. The winds are gusting to over a hundred miles an hour, and there’s a piece of a bicycle lodged under my ribs, which illustrates just how dangerous these storms can be.”
“maybe you should go some place safer.”
“No way, dude! this is better than a night with a Thai tranny, man! Whoooooo!”
Nah, people are carbon neutral so they can light yer ass up anytime the voices in their head say Gaia thinks you are one of the bad guys.
Global warming is easily solved with a pair of boxers and some baby powder…
Just remember: “Half of the people have a below average IQ.” (Technically, it’s half below the MEDIAN, so the people who say that must be there!). But what about scientists? Half of THEM are below average also. This must account for Global Warming (HTML strikeouts not allowed) Stupidity.
The ground data set is crap. Microwave sounding units on satellites and radiosonde weather balloons are in close agreement. The ground data set has always been the wild card.
Lumping the world’s ground data together with minimal adjustments and you get…GLOBAL WARMING.
Now pull out the obviously screwed up stations. Less warming. Now adjust for UHE. Less warming. Now look at just the U.S. (best maintained network). Less warming. Now adjust the U.S. data set for recently discovered errors. LESS WARMING.
Every fix, every correction, brings the ground data closer in line with the satellite and weather balloon data. And what do they show? Slight warming consistent with natural causes. Hmmm…I wonder which set is right?
I’m sick of global warming alarmists cherry picking their data, then twisting it, then leaving out obvious corrections for obvious problems, then presenting distorted graphs and claiming “the science is settled.” It would be settled the other direction if people would take a hard, cold, critical look at the “overwhelming evidence” presented by Gore and the UN.
Global warming is still the biggest problem facing our civilization today. Even people that think global warming is nonsense should still join the fight in reducing emissions because these emissions have been linked to cancer, heart disease, asthma, etc. If you love it when kids get asthma then keep driving that Hummer. Reducing emissions also reduces the amount of money that goes to terrorist financing countries like Saudi Arabia. If you love terror than keep filling up that gas guzzling Hummer.
At least good ol’ Jack Bauer is now on the fight against global warming. They are going to writing episodes that have global warming plot points as well. Isn’t that awesome 24 fans!!?? You bet it is. Hopefully all tv shows will follow 24’s vaillant effort and join the fight against global warming! Hooray! 24 is now a global warming show. Hooray!

A few years ago I read an article on the climate. It was toward global warming, but it had a lot of general information in it, too. In one part of the article they had the obligatory chart of the global temperature with its annually upward creep. But in another part of the article they were bragging about all the wonderful technology they use for all this wonderful science. They included a chart of the annual increase in the number of monitoring stations. I ran the statistics on the two data sets, and it came up to a nearly perfect correlation. That is, the global temperature went up precisely (statistically speaking) according to the number of monitoring stations installed.
You global warming folks may have all of your femto-bytes of data, but I would like to have you explain to me just exactly what it is that you are measuring?
Why do you even come here?
I’m not sure why. I’m pretty busy. I have better things to do with my time. Maybe I’m compelled to comment here like the guy in Close Encounters was compelled to make models of Devil’s Mountain.

Yes. You read it. Others read it. And it isn’t blather. It is important information I am sharing. You need it. You should be glad to have it.
