Henny-Penny and the Killer Molecule

Ice melts, creating killer water.

(Page 2 of 2)

This raises doubts about the accuracy of the entire 2007 report. The IPCC claims everything it publishes is rigorously peer-reviewed. Yet, one writer of the report, Professor Richard Tol, of the Economic and Social Research Institute in Dublin, told the Telegraph, "This is essentially a collection of anecdotes."

The IPCC's report of disappearing mountain ice claims were shown in a table titled "Selected observed effects due to changes in the cryosphere produced by warming" between 1900 and 2000. Professor Tol told the Telegraph, "There is no way current climbers and mountain guides can give anecdotal evidence back to the 1900s, so what they is complete nonsense."

Ms. H-P: Oh dear. Does this mean the sky will stop falling?

Me: I don't think it ever was.

Ms. H-P: But what does it mean for Pontiff Gore and THOOTSIF?

Me: It means your pontiff should retire. As for THOOTSIF, it means you can concentrate on laying real eggs.

I predict that the glaciers will melt and the sky just might fall. Not from global warming, but from the steam emanating from Dr. Rajendra Pachauri's (chair of the UN's panel on climate change) racy "romance" novel. What a joke! These people could screw up the proverbial iron bar. Check it out here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ear.....ntist.html

I thought Henny Penny (H-P) got all her info from Chicken Little (C-L). You should have a conversation with C-L also.....

Gus Hall| 2.4.10 @ 8:32AM

Maybe his name is Chicken Licken. I forget.....but anyway, H-P was just repeating what C-L told her.

I think Al Gore and James Hanson should be tied to a rail, tarred and feathered and paraded through the streets of Washington D.C.
Walking behind them should be a person carrying a sign; YOU ALL ARE NEXT.

A Gore Comments;
"I Know many of you don't think I know science just because I got a D in the subject in college after my family donated like $6B" so I could get that D after I dropped out of seminary school but I checked my facts we're gonna fry by 8/22/10 really, honest, get ready I checked"

Anthony| 2.4.10 @ 3:48PM

(Big Sigh) Dear Al; Get your facts straight. You dropped out of law school and FAILED out of divinity school. God was trying to send you a message, that you're a permanant screw up, but the Artic Ice Floe, that dwells between your ears, that AGW has not melted, has affected your pea brain. The science is settled; you're a moron!!

Algore is not a permanent screw-up, it just took him a while to find his proper calling; snake-oil salesman. And he's very good at it. I'm glad for him, since he has a family to support (have you seen his electric bill?) but I do resent the idea of being forced to buy what he's selling.

elainej| 2.5.10 @ 12:02AM

ha, ha!! Go Anthony and Vinny---okay that is all I was going to say...but...if Gore is so concerned about the polar ice caps melting, maybe he could relocate there for 50 years or so and study them--then get back with us.

LOL !!! Nuff said. Good one !

"the planet would have burned to the size of a charcoal briquet eons ago. The sun's temperature is only about 10,000 degrees."
Holy Alzheimer's Elder Hannaford, sounds like it's time to get after the Main Stream Physics media for the warmist hoax that million degree plasmas tend to expand rather vigorously.

Have you been taking a correspondence course from the pontifical academy ?

AG Comment;

"Russel, I really have to dispute what you're saying, everyone knows after hearing me on Conan O'Brien show that the Earth is like 1 million degrees just 3 feet under the surface. I mean honestly wake up I checked, how can ANYONE doubt me. I mean really, get a life and smell my coffee.....or however that saying goes."

Your buddy AL (Saviour of the planet)

When does Gore repair to his 30, 000 square foot mansion on his hill in Tennessee? Soon, hopefully. What a buffoon and the folks who believe him.

Even in the face of evidence that this whole anthropomorphic theory of global warming is wrought with fraud and junk science the politicians and courts are still hell-bent in enacting laws and EPA regulations to grievously impact our standard of living, economy and everyday lives. The person needs no more evidence than this to understand it was never about saving the planet but controlling people and to heck with the truth!

You need not look further into the character of a president who stands before the nation in the state of the union show and claims the "climate change" (note the new word) science is settled, I was halfway hoping someone in that room would stand and yell "you lie" but... no dice, because that's exactly what it is a lie! It's merely a vehicle to carry a socialist agenda.

The people are not the only ones who are victimized in this, honest legitimate scientists are all tarnished by the few bad apples and like in the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is a real problem comes the people remember this lie may be to our own peril. The people behind this fraud need to be exposed and punished for the sake of legitimate scientific honesty and justice.

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name f 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist
program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." ~ Norman Thomas (1884-1968) six-time U.S. Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America, 1948 - from an interview during the presidential campaign, (replace the word liberalism with environmentalism and then you'll get today's picture.)

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. ~ Thomas Jefferson

This may be a really stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway. As a long time reader of the American Spectator, I'm always impressed by the general level of intelligence demonstrated by the reader's comments. (With a few notable exceptions...you know who you are!)

Anyway, could some of you really smart people find a legal, moral, and ethical way to have Algore arrested and convicted for some of the heinous crimes he's been committing in the name of his fraudulent pseudo-religion called "Make Algore rich by pretending to know something about Earth's climate". Fraud is just a good place to start. Now, GET THOSE THINKING CAPS ON AND GET TO WORK!

It would be pretty funny, in a sick way, when you're all proven wrong. In your zeal to "beat" an opposing party, in your view, you throw all common sense out the window: Excessive CO2/pollution is bad.
