But of course you twitter. Having become totally addicted, I regularly neglect my favorite blogs, like yours. ‘Glad I stumbled into you again. Not sure how you take your Glenn Beck — sweet or savory — but your hockey stick would be a perfect visual aid for one of his “lectures.”

I like this web very much.
This is such a great place.
And it is not like other money orientating place, the info here is genuinely valuable.I am definitely bookmarking it as well as sharing it with my friends.

So…all that hot air coming out of Gore and co. causes global warming? Al Gore, the greatest cause of global warming.
Also, I didn’t know that sweasel.com is a “money orientating place”. What is this info? Invest in RC Cola and Moon pie?

I think “money orientating place” refers to sites that try to pick your pocket all the time.
Oh, hey, look at this! Just in time for Christmas: Zombie Santa Christmas Cards.
Heh heh heh.

Back in 1096, the weather is all we talked about, ALL the time. The weather had gotten so warm that we couldn’t Crusade anymore. Then in about 1103 it cooled down a bit and we started up again. It was so awesome. Great times back then.

Hey Stoatie, how are they taking all this in Merry Olde? I only catch bits of the press over there, and it seems kinda like over here. MSM is mostly looking up at the sky, with their hands in their pockets, whistling a nervous tune. What’s the mood over there?

Yes, I’d like to hear the opinions in Merry Olde, as well. I’m hearing (reading mostly) a whole lotta nuthin’ here, except from the places that never bought AGW in the first place. But since I don’t have TV, I’m quite out of the loop. I think I lost a couple of my work chums a couple months ago by 1) dissing Obama Care and 2) laughing at AGW. And I didn’t even really jump around & curse & wave my hands like I wanted to.

Even the British people recognize a flawed Hockey Stick! Maybe not the Press though. I thought they weren’t too interested in winter sports. I have called for a thorough investigation of Penn State’s Michael Mann if anyone’s listening. The bastard will give one of the best Meteorologic Schools a black eye. Jail is way too good for this scum.

Absolutely exploded across the blogosphere. Has merited mentions on some BBC news programs, but they’re obviously terrified to touch it. The main papers are trying to contain it by letting their blog staff cover it. They cover it well — gleefully even — but still, not on the front page so far. Except to talk about the crime of hacking.
What’s interesting, if figures just cited by Allah are true, lots more Americans believe in AGW than Brits. He says 72% (down from 80%). Here, less than half polled believe in it.
That’s either despite or because of the UNBELIEVABLE wall to wall propaganda. We bought a frakkin’ loaf of bread the other day that told us how much CO2 was produced to make, move and consume it. No shit. Green blather finds its way onto EVERYTHING.

Can’t you just tell, BTW, that the news media had queued up a bunch of extra-super-crispy alarmist shit to run just ahead of Copenhagen? And now THIS. Oh, they’re beside themselves.

“Hide the decline” is from the infamous email, in case you haven’t been following Climategate as delightedly as I have.

It just struck me about the dude Mann at Penn State. Maybe he’s related to Manfred Mann and his Earth Band.

I’ve been merrily grep(1)ing through that abortion of data known as ye merry old FOI2009.zip and I must say, these cads really take the cake. I really can’t believe that they honestly thought they were doing science.

Forget the emails. Forget “hide the decline”. Small potatoes.
Their computer code…you know, the code that showed we all needed to wear hairshirts and start living in the woods…that code? The code was so addled and bug-ridden that it would consistently output a negative value from a squared variable. This is the sort of thing that results in facepalm among math-science-computer guys.

The AGW crowd is now hinting that Steve McIntyre (who exposed the flaws in several popular The Earth Is Burning Up studies) used his mad Canuckistani computer hacking skillz to capture those 3,000 files *overnight*, zip them up nicely, and plunk them down on the Russkie site.

AND use his time travelling skills to send them to the BBC 5 days before they appeared on the ััััะบะพะต ftp site? Heavens! How can we stop his evil plan to . . . wait, what’s his angle here, anyway?

I feel so small, I’m only worth 5.04 Earths ๐ At least my food “footprint” was 46.1! Hooray for being a top-o-th-foodchain predator with a thirst for blood.

Man, I am so ashamed. I only made it to 6.4 earths, even with all the flyin’ around I do. Thought for sure that’d put me over 10.
Anyway, I don’t like their footprint measurement scale. I want to see a real footprint measurement! Do I have tiny little ballet shoes or big stompy boots the size of station wagons?
Here’s some more meat for Stoaty’s minons; a MIT meteorology professor’s talk on AGW alarmism. Here’s part one of six:

Academic scientists tend to be very disdainful of good software engineering practises. It’s amazing the number of times I’ve seen code that was basically whipped up in a quick and dirty fashion later used as the basis for publishable research. The unmaintainable code, ad hoc programming solutions and missing/incomplete datasets we see in the CRU files are all par for the course. Lay people would be shocked. Of course in most cases the shoddy coding practises weren’t being used to bolster demands to mess about with hundreds of trillions of dollars.

Eternally the optimist, I visit lgf about once a week to see if Susan Powter’s advice has prevailed, but no joy. Charles bought in to AGW a month or so ago (and in a big “convict finds Jesus” way), and today he’s sneering at the “anti-GW” crowd for even suggesting that the recent revelations might call into question the integrity of the scientists involved. Can somebody tell me wtf? Did he pick the wrong year to quit huffing glue?

I’ve heard of epiphanies going the wrong direction before, but other than a horse kicking him stupid, I can’t think of an explanation.
I guess I should have backed away a few months ago when I noticed he was spending days and days engaging in nothing but personal flame wars and/or obsessed rants about European skinheads.

Stoaty, I’m just wild about the Harry_Read_Me file. Gave me as many hits in one day as I had the previous week. Got my own hockey stick, which I posted, of course.
Too bad it took the Mail to tell folk the BBC had sent a small army of presenters to Copenhagen to continue the noble work of selling us into feudal servitude.

Just for fun, I redid the little test, except this time, I filled everything out as if I were a perfect little eco-tard hippy. It still gave me a score of 1.52…until I redid it saying I had purchased an indulgence, uh, I mean “Carbon Off-sets”.
THEN, it gave me a score below 1.0, which tells me exactly what that test is all about.

I answered the quiz truthfully and scored 0.77. I guess no car, no need for heating or A/C and no tumble dryer explains that.
