So Hot I Thought I Saw Elvis

By Paul Chesser on 8.16.10 @ 4:07PM

I just spent the last half of last week in Memphis where we spotted 68 ETAs (Elvis Tribute Artists) and/or lookalikes, and we experienced temperatures over 100 degrees almost daily.

I just spent the last half of last week in Memphis where my wife and I spotted 68 ETAs (Elvis Tribute Artists) and/or lookalikes, and we experienced temperatures over 100 degrees almost daily. I don't attribute the heat to excessive carbon dioxide, and neither does British astrophysicist Piers Corbyn, who explained why last week on Russian television.

Silly Amspec, don't you know by now that REAL climate scientists don't have science degrees?

You don't need science to know that the whole Global Warming business is bunk, you need history. The history of near half a century of environmentalist scare-mongering. I've been listening to the Chicken Littles since the sixties, and not one of thier over-the-top doomsday scenarios has come close to being true. The boys have cried wolf too many times.

Astrophysicist Piers Corbyn looks like a real mad scientist, with that crazy "I just rolled out of bed" hair, and his crooked tie, but sometimes you can't judge a book by its cover.

The best line he made was, "there's money in it, and it has corrupted science."

He kind of reminds me of Willy Wonka: [angrily] "Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis, incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum! It's all there! Black and white, clear as crystal! You STOLE Fizzy-Lifting Drinks! You BUMPED into the ceiling, which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get... NOTHING!!! You lose! GOOD DAY, SIR!" [returns to work]

He just wasn't as passionate as Willy Wonka was!!

The Gallup poll from last spring shows that the Global Warming Hoaxers are losing the argument with the general public.

Anyone who can think logically, and come up with cogent arguments, knows that AGW is probably the biggest con in human history since Satan convinced so many people he didn't exist.
