I'm Kind Of Surprised He Hasn't Said So Himself...

In Honor of The 5th Anniversary of Climategate...

At the time, when I posted the first links, it was my most viewed post. It also elicited one of the greatest McGooisms in the comments: "I've seen tighter routines in virus code."
And five years later, His Wholly Reluctance God/King Obamandias is still plowing ahead with his plans to destroy the energy infrastructure for the benefit of himself and his masters who are long on Sun Beam and Unicorn-fart non-energy exposure. So here's to Climategate, with the QOTD-- actually a few days ago:

"The whole Global Warming industry is full of Grubers." --Jonah Goldberg

President Canute: Destroy The Country, Save The Planet

Soylent Green: Just what you need when you're freezing in the dark.

That was the title and tagline to my original blog launched March 4, 2009. Then, as now, I railed against the Carbon Kelptocrats and their patron, God/King Obamandias of the Chicago Carbon Exchange, who I knew would destroy the nation's energy infrastructure with a non-energy policy promising free power generated from unicorn farts and sunbeams.
Now that he has nothing to lose and no support from either party in DC, he is going institute those policies, and make sure we are all fighting for soylent scraps as we are hurled.back into medieval serfdom via a flurry of executive orders. And though it will make energy prices "necessarily skyrocket," and will do absolutely nothing to reduce global temperature or CO2 levels, congress will be unable to stop it.
So drink up, Minnesota, it's going to get even worse.
On the bright side, we won't see the new dystopia ushered in by marauding hordes of machete-wielding juaristas and/or exploding jihadis on the news because the rolling blackouts will keep us, again, in the dark...freezing in the dark.
Then again, there is always the Michael Corleone Protocol--because, global warming or not, it's hard to sign anything after you've been reduced to room temperature.  

UN:Unless We Take All Your Money, Thermageddon Will Kill Us All...Again

Yes, by now you've probably seen the front page of your local fish wrap echoing the UN IPCC's proclamation that !!!We're all gonna die!!! unless we reduce fossil fuel use to ZERO by 2100.  But Tony, aka Steve Goddard, noted that the histrionic hooey--placed in the Synthesis Report at the specific behest of Ban Ki-Moonbat and President Obola because the AR 5 wasn't scary enough--is actually good news:

"Celebrate: the UN has just granted Earth a 100-year reprieve from Global Warming. In 1989, the UN said we had until the end of the 20th century to save the planet from Global Warming. Now they say we have until the end of the 21st century."

Of course the climate kleptocrats say eliminating fossil fuels is "affordable," as long as you don't include the cost of all those who will die freezing in the dark every year. But again, as Tony noted, we've already run that experiment...

Of course, the only reason the GISS numbers are anywhere near Scenario C is because Gavin Schmidt has used the "300 percent solution" pictured in the sidebar to add "corrections" to the temperature record.
These crooks are still pushing for a binding global Thermageddon deal to be signed in Paris that would compel us to live like 8th century serfs while the UN and its favorites dally in Davos and canoodle on the Cote D'Azur. As unlikely as an actual agreement is, a Republican takeover of the Senate would insure we don't sign it.
Curious how that report was headlines in the MFM one day before the US elections, isn't it?

Happy 18th Birthday To "The Pause"

No senior in high school, indoctrinated with Thermageddon dogma their entire lives, has seen ever seen any Anthropogenic Global Warming. Oh, and remember when the warmers said it would take 17 years for the nonexistent tropospheric hotspot to appear...? Anthony does.

Bwuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

An Observation On The EPA Thermagedon Hearings

As awesome as it was seeing 26,000 United Mineworkers shut down Pittsburgh at noon yesterday, clogging the streets outside the federal building where the EPA began two days of public comment on its Back To The Stone Age CO2 Limitation Rule, inside the building, crap like this was being read into the record:

"The consequences of continuing this pattern of energy use are surely devastating both to the atmosphere and the fresh water system, for us and especially for our children and their grandchildren." -- Chatham University biologist Patricia DeMarco.

IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!
Could she possibly have added any more ecotard, liberal, zero-sum, misinformed hand wringing? I'll wager she thought it was "devastating" when the Chatham board voted in the spring to go co-ed in an effort to not go broke. Now she has to deal with all that male ickiness, assuming any males actually apply. But I digress.
As some of you may remember, the EPA cut off public comment in 2009 when it was ostensibly formulating these rules, and deleted all comments calling their farmed-out "science" into question.
So while it's gratifying to see some people rally for common sense, it doesn't matter to the elite billionaires funding the ecotard annihilation of the poor, sick and old, and then the rest of us--we spoil the view from the veranda, don't you know--nor does it matter to their bought-and-paid-for minions in the EPA.
When I started my first blog, Soylent Green, the tag line read, "Just what you need when you're freezing in the dark."
After my exile to Siberia, I changed it to reflect the current state of affairs. In the last 13 years this government has systematically moved to take away our energy, food and shelter. So, is throwing thousands of people out of work and quintupling the energy costs for millions going to stop them? No. It's a feature, not a bug.

The EPA To Seize Your Assets #BecauseGaia

Yes, the PseudoEco-Nazis at the EPA have decided they will just seize your money rather than wait for some court ruling when they fine you for doing something that threatens their reign over every aspect of your life. And you thought Richard Windsor was bad?

Where's Ted Taylor* when you need him?

This was supposed to go up before the last one.  But #work intervened.
Cultural reference*

Anthony Watts: "This time Steven Goddard was right."

"I was so used to Goddard being wrong, I expected it again, but this time Steven Goddard was right and my confirmation bias prevented me from seeing that there was in fact a real issue in the data and that NCDC has dead stations that are reporting data that isn't real: mea culpa"

Goddard, aka Tony Heller's, reply.

Must Read: Steven Goddard Outs Himself

After Anthony Watts fucked him over last week without even looking at his data, I guess Steve...er...Tony, had to re-establish his cred. Ballsy way to do it.
