It’s a complete rout. AGW is falling apart in big, ugly, obvious pieces. The press is trying to suppress it to no avail. The “poor” countries are holding out for more money, and the “rich” countries are looking both stupid and unwilling to bow. There’s a good deal of political spine showing and determination to oust the perpetrators once and for all. Prince Charles has withdrawn his public support for AGW and the Queen is positively livid. The Royal Society owns that its credibility has been horribly compromised and it is out for blood. The tide has also turned in the Catholic Church, which had been bankrolling a lot of the hoopla and hosting events. More and more factual information is coming out that exposes AGW as hopelessly absurd. Here’s a soupcon:

So, as a Brit friend said, “If you want to get your knickers in a knot and run from the room screaming, “ANYTHING but a British Chardonnay!” —you’re welcome to do so.”

Yesterday, there were troupes of people in Al Gore masks and costumes parading around, spouting truly vapid “poetry” about crooked politicians paying off crooked scientists and polluting the planet with bad ideas and bad poetry. One of the anti-AGW groups sponsored the “Rachel Carson Science Hoax Award” and conferred it on Gore in absentia; then they invited him to come to England on a speaking tour to explain how global warming is proven by and actually the result of crop circles….wonderful stuff.

You have never seen the “popular” Press looking so abject. Several senior news anchors have been caught crying real tears, wringing their hands, everything short of peeing their pantaloons. They’ve been scooped on the science hoax of the century and made to look like utter incompetent fools—which is why they are trying to soft pedal the results above and beyond everything else. The Brits are calling for the networks to “turn in their badges” —their Press passes— and give them to girls “under the age of ten” who would be “more skeptical and hold higher standards of behavior”—-James Delingpole is on a true ranting rampage…..well, all in all, hog heaven for older newshounds who caught the scent of rotten political self-interest a long time ago.

Ovomit is scheduled to speak on Friday and frump up about the EPA doing its part, while excusing the USA from doing anything.

I think we can safely say that Cap and Trade is dead, that Congress is at last on guard and on the move, and that the Brits will hound their government about this until AGW does nothing but cause cat-calls and howls of laughter. My favorite thing thus far was a vendor in an outdoor park—-he had the rear end of an immensely fat dummy hanging over a section of fence with a sign that read: “Have Al Gore’s Ass!” with a whole table full of slingshots lined up and ready. How sweet the sound of pebbles thumping—-thwack-ump! thwack-ump! There was a large line all afternoon and people just kept coming……

1. Carbon dioxide accounts of one four-hundredth of one percent of the atmosphere and humans contribute a whopping 14% of that minute amount of trace gas.

2. Carbon dioxide has never been shown to have any insulating properties whatsoever. Water vapor is the only known atmospheric gas that does insulate.

3. The sea level is rising, but then, it has been rising since the last Ice Age and the rate of increase is steady.

4. Oceans are becoming more acidic, but that is being offset by increased dissolved carbon dioxide. Ha!

5. Daytime temperatures in Africa are warmer, but night temperatures are colder. What happened to that blanket of polluting gas? Are we only polluted and warming for half the day?

6. The glaciers aren’t melting. They are declining because they haven’t been getting a normal renewal of snow pack for over a decade.

7. Overall, temperatures on earth have been steady or declining since 1998. [which rose in 98 because of El Nino]

8. The western Arctic is warmer than usual, but the eastern Arctic (especially Greenland) is colder.

9. There is no factual evidence suggesting that storms are becoming more frequent or more violent in recent years; rather, there have been fewer storms and less precipitation overall—consistent with lower temperatures and lower rates of precipitation.

10. Temperatures in the Middle Ages (peaked around 1270 AD) were at least five degrees warmer on average than now, and about the only thing that happened was that England had decent vineyards.
