Anybody not named Al Gore believe in global warming?
Posted by TFG on November 21st, 2009
Really, anybody with a functioning brain knows that Global Warming by Al Gore[trademark thingy]
is a goddamned lie. So, it’s not one eensie bit surprising there is ample evidence of…evidence of the truth of that*:
If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: Watts Up With That)
Shameful, really — and these ’scientists’ wonder why ‘yokels’ like me are disgusted with ’scientists’ like them, and give them short shrift.
Actually, the more interesting story, since we know their story is about as reliable as Grimm’s Fairy Tales, is who hacked the pliable eggheads, who by the way, have made Al Gore rich beyond even your wildest dreams. The beautiful thing is that, by this dude’s thinking, it’s an inside job, which will bolster my already-strong faith in the scientific method and scientists in general.
But don’t be coming round talking no shit about climate change for a while, OK? That includes about 50% of the delibarative body elected by…hmm, whom? Morons, so near as I can tell.

Can they take that Nobel Prize back? If they do I guess Obama ought to start packing his up as well

I’m more inclined to believe Al Gore & Co. is finding a way to profit off of reality, which is far different from Dick Cheney’s creating a reality so he (and his cronies) can profit.
But hey, I’m all for destroying the environment … only escalates our need for space travel, which is a lot cooler and more fun. Probably will be mondo-profitable for some, too.

Heh — never figured you for a Truther, Dan. Halliburton set the charges in the WTC, and Building Seven!!!!! Right?
I also admire your commitment to environmentalism — you choose to live and work in a city that wouldn’t even exist without extreme human manipulation of the environment. I’m sure you’re working regularly to turn off the spigots and return Las Vegas to the desert. Then you’re going to move to LA and do the same. This is what I love about you warmist whackos — complete cognitive dissonance. All of AlGore&Co’s “reality” has just been proven, AGAIN, to be hacked, yet you can’t integrate it into your religion. The inconvenient truth really has become an inconvenient truth.
Oh, well — keep believing that the guy with the kayak, the storage building of camping supplies, a closet full of hunting gear, and a garage with fishing rods is the one destroying Gaia.

They try to tax on it now, I fight.

i never figured you for a flat-earther!
i have a golf-course take on the environment … meaning i think they are the best examples of manmade manipulations of nature … so much happiness for the people, the birds, the fish, the rattlesnakes.
earth-destruction or not, i’m definitely not denying there’s a sort of Environmental-Industrial-Complex taking shape any more than I could deny Dick Cheney being the epitome of the Military Industrial Complex. But his business was so 20th Century. The 21st needs a new one … (to get us ready for the 22nd, when we probably will be spending a lot more time in space).

p.s. i’m also a recycler of convenience. what’s so wrong with recycling like all get-out only when local government makes it easy to do the supposedly “right” thing?
colored bins is an example of something government actually does well … and all sorts of private sector folks benefit from their help creating that industry.

I have several brainiac rocket-scientist level bloggy friends (2 actually work for NASA) who agree that the earth’s temperature level is increasing. They do not have a consensus on whether mankind is a contributing factor, but all agree it is never a bad thing to be kinder to our environment.
I will agree with you, FG, that when politics get involved, there will always be a greed factor thrown in. I think it’s DNA coded in the gene-pool of politicians.
AS far as I can tell, the single thing that would improve the environment is to reverse population growth. Less people = less damage to the environment.
I shall remain your humble tree-hugger.

Pattie, no matter what they believe (note: believe), that belief cannot be proven in any way, shape or form. I personally believe (note: believe) I should be rich and have a bigger weenie, but, well, facts is facts. Besides, how do you take the earth’s temperature? Is that oral or rectal? And have you read anything about all the data manipulation that’s gone on over the last 20-30 years to support this global warming money grab? I think your friends are far too trusting of their fellow scientists, and they’ve almost managed to pull off the biggest swindle in the history of mankind. And they still might do it.
Less people? Who do we kill first? Who gets the cyanide pills?
The sad fact is that so many people only want what they want without giving any consideration to what other people may want. I can respect that, but the bottom line is that mankind is hard-wired for progress, and that’s a good thing. You may not like it, but it got us to this point, and at some level, you have to accept, understand, and appreciate that. The whole world ain’t gonna stop just because I’ve reached a point of satisfaction and want to push the PAUSE button.
Bah, I hate these stupid arguments. They’re pointless.

@Dan — you’re kind of ignoring all the recycling companies whose warehouses are stocked to the rafters with recyclables because there is no need for the recyclables on the market. Colored bins, indeed — nobody but a committee could have done that.
Feeling good (about yourself) is good enough, though.

Exactly the dilemma…
November 28th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
It’s only a dilemma if you actually believe in the cleansing power of genocide. I don’t think that’s what you mean. I hope not. I guess me and my kind would be some of the first up against the wall.

“I guess me and my kind would be some of the first up against the wall.”
I don’t think so. We’re the guys with the guns and the guts, after all.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:10 pm
I concur with James R. Rummel. We *are* the guys with guns and I think I can maybe get some guts when push comes to shove. And on the bright side, if this comes out the way I think it will, there will be lots of ownerless Toyota Priuses/Subaru wagons/groovy “alternative smoking” apparati for the taking, their previous owners having gone on to that eternally burning Woodstock/Summer of Love down below.
