Warmists Really Excited Over New Global Warming Poll
15 Dec 2012 9:14 am William Teach

Notice that I did not term global warming as “hotcoldwetdry” as usual. There’s a reason for that, which I’ll get to after the story, reported breathlessly at the Washington Post (a Warmist emailed me about this story yesterday, wondering why I hadn’t commented on it. That was due to seeing it soon before heading to work, and an inability to see the study itself at the time)
AP-GfK Poll: Belief in global warming rises with thermometers, even among science doubters
Hooray, we’ve already jumped to politics, and that’s just the headline, in …

Babs Boxer (D-Long Fossil Fueled Flights) To Form “Hotcoldwetdry Caucus”
12 Dec 2012 8:57 am William Teach

Of course, The Hill doesn’t use my term, but the completely un-scientific phrase “climate change”, meant to denote that Mankind’s use of fossil fuels, such as lots of long fossil fueled flights from the People’s Republic of Brokeifornia to D.C., causes all weather events. And the Democratic Senator from the PRB (which is having a wee bit of problem with their carbon permits revenue) wants to spread awareness
(The Hill) Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that she’s forming a “climate change caucus,” and argues …

Extreme Weather Belief Like A “pagan rite of human sacrifice to ensure a good harvest”
11 Dec 2012 9:12 am William Teach

There was a time when Warmists said “weather is not climate! Yeaaaarrrrrrg!” Now, because fewer and fewer are buying into what they push (which they themselves refuse to act on, as witnessed by the yearly working vacations in exotic locations which produced tens of millions of tons of CO2), they have now moved on to “extreme weather” (some, like Al Gore, have even moved on to “dirty weather”) in order to blame every weather event, including snow and cold, on someone else living a modern life

Hooray! Warmists Trot Out Uneven Atmospheric Heating As New Excuse
10 Dec 2012 9:09 am William Teach

The great thing about Warmists is that they never let things like science stand in the way of defending their cult. They keep coming up with great new ways to push their dogma (except for practicing what they preach). We hear things about missing heat, that the oceans are soaking it up, that Gaia is punishing some “carbon polluting” nations, that hot is causing more snow and cold. And, right on time to witness yet another year where it is super duper cold in Alaska, Europe, and Asia with lots …

COP18 Hotcoldwetdry Talks Pretty Much End In Failure
9 Dec 2012 9:30 am William Teach

Except for those who enjoyed their government funded working vacation, of course. They had a great time…..well, eating, since no alcohol is allowed in the Muslim nation of Qatar. As for the talks themselves, really, when you hold them in the world’s 3rd highest “Carbon polluting” nation, it’s no wonder they failed. (Reuters) gives it the old college try in trying to rescue the outcome
Almost 200 nations extended a weakened United Nations plan for combating global warming until 2020 on Saturday with a modest set of measures that would do …

Bummer: New Science Shows Greenland Ice Loss Much Less Than Warmists Computer Models Show
8 Dec 2012 8:53 am William Teach

One of the foundation talking points from Disciples of Gore is that Greenland’s ice will melt and all of mankind will die (which is an interesting talking point of hysteria since Warmists also want the human population of Earth to be vastly reduced). Warmists always refuse to remember and talk about Vikings having settled Greenland and become an agrarian society during the warm period that preceded the Little Ice Age. But, you know, science
(The Register) A new analysis of data from dedicated satellites shows that one of the main factors …

Think Progress: “Know What’s Really Behind The War On Christmas? Hotcoldwetdry”
5 Dec 2012 7:43 am William Teach

It’s that time of the year when Warmists start trotting out their stories linking Christmas and globull warming. Perhaps George Soros funded Think Progress should ask the Obama’s, who have 54 Christmas trees
Global Warming Is Behind The Real War On Christmas
It’s that time of year when Fox News and other conservative media outlets revive their imaginary “War on Christmas.” But the actual threat to one Christmas tradition comes from something more insidious than Fox’s perceived attacks: Extreme drought, fueled by climate change, has hit the Christmas tree market.
2012′s relentless drought …

NY Times Visualizes Statue Of Liberty Covered By The Seas From Hotcoldwetdry
25 Nov 2012 8:03 am William Teach

I was really hoping this piece of science fiction, er, opinion piece was offered by the whole editorial board, alas, it’s by some guy named James Atlas, who’s crazy op-ed piece is part of a raft of crazy pieces at the times, such as Rising Seas, Vanishing Coastlines, What Could Disappear, Paying for Future Catastrophes, and
Is This the End?
No, but it might make for some side splitting reading.
WE’D seen it before: the Piazza San Marco in Venice submerged by the acqua alta; New Orleans underwater in the aftermath of Katrina; …

Brokeifornia’s First Cap And Trade Auction Complete Failure
23 Nov 2012 9:01 am William Teach

Surprise! Well, not really, considering who cap and tax, er, trade programs have worked in countries around the world, with the costs of carbon essentially equating to junk bond status
(Sacramento Bee) State environmental leaders this week hailed California’s first auction of carbon emissions credits a huge success.
But budget writers are hardly thrilled.
A low price for credits and minimal demand for future offsets suggest California will see a mere fraction of the $1 billion that Gov. Jerry Brown and lawmakers estimated the state would receive this fiscal year.
The nation’s brokeyest broke …

Pre-Thanksgiving Rite: Warmists Bring Scary Stories About Doom
20 Nov 2012 7:45 am William Teach

Before virtually every holiday the believers in “climate change” trot out all sorts of scary stories about how mankind’s release of greenhouse gases will ruin the holiday in the future. This year’s w(h)inner is Mother Jones
This Is Your Thanksgiving on Climate Change
Thanksgiving is supposed to be all about bounty, right? Cornucopias? Tables groaning with goodies?
Sure—for now. But (holiday buzzkill alert!) if the globe continues to warm, that Turkey Day spread could end up looking quite paltry. In honor of everyone’s favorite day of feasting, here’s a preview:
Ah, the old “sometime …

Obama: Fixing Economy Takes Precedence Over Hotcoldwetdry Legislation
15 Nov 2012 6:44 am William Teach

That’s how Politico positions (NMP) Obama’s comments on the climate change hoax, somewhat breaking the hearts of Warmists everywhere
Climate change will take a back seat to efforts to boost the economy in the near term, but the issue would return to the agenda in the future, President Barack Obama said Wednesday.
“I think the American people right now have been so focused and will continue to be focused on our economy, jobs and growth that if the message is somehow that we’re going to ignore jobs and growth simply to address …

Socialist Mayor Proposes Banning All Classic And “Old Bangers” From Paris
13 Nov 2012 8:21 am William Teach

Would it surprise you that this is mostly about the climate change hoax?
(Telegraph) Under proposals presented to the city council on Monday, Socialist mayor Bertrand Delanoë intends to outlaw by September 2014 the use of cars and utility vehicles more than 17 years old and lorries or buses more than 18 years old.
Motorcycles built before 2004 will also be forbidden, as the mayor said they were the “most polluting and noisiest”.
The “old banger” ban will apply to all vehicles inside the A86 motorway that surrounds the French capital.
Hooray, we’re saved!

Warmist Kerry Emanuel Wonders If Climate Scientists Are Too Cautious In Their Insanity
10 Nov 2012 9:08 am William Teach

Well, I added the insanity part. Emanuel wants climate scientists to become more forceful in their predictions and talking points, and brings the #Fail
(Foreign Policy) Conventional wisdom about climate change may have begun to gel in the aftermath of Sandy, but did global warming really cause the vicious hybrid storm that devastated much of the eastern seaboard last week? The short answer is no. Attributing Sandy or any other single event to long-term climate trends is rather like blaming El Niño for a car accident on the Santa Monica Freeway. …

Earth To Boil In Future, Says New Study
9 Nov 2012 7:30 am William Teach

Warmists really just can’t help themselves. Years ago they told Climate Realists that weather was not climate. Now, every storm is proof of “climate change”, even snow storms and long cold periods. I personally love their insane argument about snow, where they say a warmer climate creates more water vapor creating more snow. I guess it was super warm during the last ice age. DERP face. And the Warmists are back attempting to say that storms will be worse and it will get super duper hot
Warmer still: Extreme climate predictions …

What Did The Elections Mean For Hotcoldwetdry?
7 Nov 2012 7:55 am William Teach

The Warmists are already agitating for climate change (hoax) legislation
(SF Chronicle) as soon as the major news networks called the race tonight, environmentalists started firing off e-mails urging Pres. Obama to turn his attention back to our warming world. They’re hoping that Obama’s re-election and Sandy’s devastation will reset the national conversation on climate change, after several years in which many politicians refused to utter those two words in public.
“While Sandy’s lessons are still fresh, the president should be clear about the urgency of cutting carbon emissions and strengthening critical …

Hey, You Know “Climate Change Is Like Racism”
3 Nov 2012 7:32 am William Teach

Well, yeah, it is kinda like racism. Liberals are constantly yammering on about it, ascribing it to everything, but are still rather unsure of the concept, and are often the worst offenders. Of course, that’s not what Ahmed Shihab-Eldin at the HuffPo means
Climate change is kind of like racism. Nobody really wants to talk about it, but it is as critical as it is constructive that we have that conversation now. Whether politicians, pundits or polls bring it up or not, like racism, we all know climate change is real. …

Rep. Mike Honda (D-Brokeifornia): “Like, OMG, We’re Going To Boil The Planet!!!!!”
2 Nov 2012 6:48 am William Teach

First off, let’s define exactly what’s going on, via the Toronto Sun’s Lorrie Goldstein
Climate alarmists are great at linking single weather events like Hurricane Sandy to man-made climate change, a propaganda tactic otherwise known as climate porn.
Mike Honda provides his own bit of completely off the rails, bat guano insane climate p0rn
(The Politico) The devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy along the East Coast highlighted several tragic trends that will continue if not actively and aggressively addressed. First, the super storm showed us how powerful jet stream winds were able to …

Poor Nicholas Kristoff Channels The Goracle
1 Nov 2012 9:11 am William Teach

Well, was anyone expecting much more from a NY Times columnist?
Will Climate Get Some Respect Now?
Yeah, I respect the hell out of what the natural processes of the Earth can do, and have been doing for billions of years. But, if Nicholas is so concerned, he should get the big shots at the NY Times to leave the A/C off in the building. It’s supposedly bad for hotcoldwetdry.
President Obama and Mitt Romney seemed determined not to discuss climate change in this campaign. So thanks to Hurricane Sandy for forcing the …

NPR: Is Sandy Climate Change Or Warmist Hysteria?
30 Oct 2012 8:05 am William Teach

Via Ed Driscoll, who writes
If NPR really believes that, it’s up to them to set an example for the rest of America by voluntarily shutting down their stations and Websites, in order to help save Gaia. Or as the Professor likes to say, I’ll believe there’s a crisis, when the people who tell me it’s a crisis start to act like it’s a crisis themselves.
They won’t. Because it’s not about slowing or even stopping the “planet’s fever”. It might have been for about 3 days, but, ever since it has …

Due To “Climate Change”, Sandy Is Apparently The New Normal
29 Oct 2012 8:51 am William Teach

Warmists just can’t help themselves. And they will take lots of fossil fueled travel to make sure you know about it. Here’s NRDC’s Dan Lashof
When are we going to do more to address the causes of climate change, rather than react to its effects?
We don’t know yet what Hurricane Sandy will leave in its wake as it tears its way toward the Northeast United States – although meteorologists are already warning that this “Frankenstorm” could be another billion-dollar disaster – or as one put it, “an economic and human disaster …
