What do you get when you cross environmental hysteria with an interminable Christmas classic? At least one Nosferatu reference and a cool shot of polar bears:
Wait for the twelfth day. That’s the real payoff, and the real reason for this particular season. (via McQ)

Very droll. The humor is sophomoric, but I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment.
Global-warming borne death and destruction will be caused by that peculiar isotope of CO2 emitted by Americans, but Chinese and Indian CO2 is just fine: saying they should cut back on industrialization to “save the planet” is, of course, racist.
How very scientific.
mr.blacksheep on December 26, 2008 at 3:45 PM
That’s very funny. Those of you who “skipped to the end” missed a lot of very funny imagery.

And because the wannabe trekkie doesn’t understand science… a link (that goes to many other sites) that glaciers are growing around the world.
upinak on December 26, 2008 at 3:49 PM
Personally, I am tired of shoveling the global warming from my driveway, walk, and curb here in West Seattle.
There is no reasoning with these people: The dramatic cold in the country is the result of global warming. Just like the melting ice caps are the result of global warming.
It just occurred to me what the enviro-libtards will do once President Bush leaves office. Their
GWBDS will become GWBDS. Everything that is wrong will be the result of global warming. Interest rates rise? global warming is affecting the markets. etc. ad infinitum……..Mallard T. Drake on December 26, 2008 at 3:55 PM

Patrick S on December 26, 2008 at 3:55 PM
Ooh, that’s interesting. I think you’re onto something, and, in fact, I think I’ve seen some evidence for this in recent months, things being connected to global warming with a straight face in ways that seemed unusually ridiculously.
Kensington on December 26, 2008 at 3:58 PM
upinak, the USGS site contradicts your claim and they’re credible authorities on the subject. Denialist websites are a dime a dozen I’m afraid.
starfleet_dude on December 26, 2008 at 4:00 PM
Hey dumbass, let me tell you something. I work with the USGS here in Alaska. How does it refute my claim when I actually WORK with the geologists saying the glaciers are grwoing BACK!
STFU you ignorant SOB!
upinak on December 26, 2008 at 4:03 PM
Sky-is-fallingist websites being somewhat more expensive, although the cost is hidden in taxes taken then wasted on “administration” of the “green jobs”.
I just love how the AGW zombies like to attack the scientific credentials of those who think the available evidence is against AGW, yet their God Incarnate is… wait for it… none other than (I can hardly say this without laughing)…. Al Gore. They have a clown for a spokesman, yet deride their opponents as not serious. You couldn’t, as they say, make this stuff up.

That video pretty well sums it up. I am a masters degree engineer with knowledge in a lot of areas. Carbon caused global warming is total BS. This is the worst distortion of actual science since the universe was supposed to rotate around the earth. Computer models of complex systems are very unreliable (the earth is way too complex). The sun is the prime mover in this area and we seem to have already moved into a cooling cycle. We really need the scientific illiterates out of this area as well as those who are getting rich off of it from grants. We surely don’t need to spend billions solving a non-existent problem.
duff65 on December 26, 2008 at 4:22 PM
You need to consider the larger planetary history.
Climate has and will change all the time.
It is not controlled or effected by humans at a global level.
The models used to predict climate change are not accurate.

CO2 is not a pollutant, but an essential gas for life on this planet.

I think it’s more like global warming on the scale that ended the Pleistocene era. The concern is that today we’re already starting from a fairly warm place in terms of global climate as CO2 levels are already far beyond what they have been historically:
Atmospheric CO2 with glacial cycles
starfleet_dude on December 26, 2008 at 4:32 PM
Why? Just because the adjustment of their parameters required for them to pass back-testing implies violations of the laws of physics? Or because they don’t take into account the effect of inconvenient little truths like water vapor (”clouds”, for those space cadets who are unfamiliar with the terminology)? C’mon, you call yourself an engineer?
Surely we’ll all admit that the atmosphere is at least as complicated as the stock market. Probably more so: the stock market is entirely man-made, and all parameters are under the control of people. And don’t you know we can predict the Dow Jones 100 years into the future within a margin of error of 0.25% to 0.5%? So why shouldn’t we be able to predict the state of the atmosphere to similar levels of accuracy?
Man, you’ve just got to wake up and get on that global warming bandwagon, because the consensus is that you’re way off base.
mr.blacksheep on December 26, 2008 at 4:34 PM
As a matter of reconciling…
It’s much better to be warm than cold.
The doom and gloom of predicted droughts due to warming.
Hows about… longer growing seasons due to warming.
It happened during the middle ages. Then when the climate changed to colder, people starved.
So why is it always a prediction of doom?

I like the recent story about the tragic, horrific retreat of a glacier in Switzerland, surely bringing doom unto that country. What did they discover as the ice retreated? Ancient mines and mining equipment. I think they were put there during the warm period that caused the extinction of the polar bear.

Kini on December 26, 2008 at 4:53 PM
Yep, it’s more like the end of the last major glaciation period that we’re on the edge of now, with CO2 estimated to go up to 450-500 ppm by 2100. We’re definitely entering uncharted territory climate-wise with help from our own fossil-fuel burning activity now.

starfleet_dude on December 26, 2008 at 4:32 PM
I’ll believe that humans can accidently destroy the entire planet (80% of which is covered with ocean) with CO2 emissions the same day I see scientists are able to alter the path of a single tornado or plug up a volcano eruption, something like that. Humans are such an insignifigant force compared to the planet earth and the sun that powers our weather that I can’t even think of a comparison.
When Krakatoa erupted in 1883 it put up so much dust in the air that it was called “the year without a summer” because the dust and ash obscured the sun around the planet. Earth’s average tepurature dropped 1.2 degrees C in a single year (Gore is freaking over a similar temperature change taking place over 50 years). Just 5 years later, everything was back to normal and today this ACTUAL worldwide disaster is barely remembered. This s but a single example of how insignifigant human beings really are. What would we do if a similar event occured today or 10 years from now? Nothing. We would scream our heads off, waste alot of money and in the end everyone would just have to wait it out and let the earth take care of itself.
So my advice is: Relax, the world will not end in our lifetime or that of our children.

By the way, we are kind of overdue for another catastrophic ice age. Those suck. The Earth has, as far as I know, never been too hot in the past billion years or so (and it has been a lot warmer than now)–but it is quite often too cold.
It is more likely that some of our descendants will view global warming as wishful thinking.
Count to 10 on December 26, 2008 at 5:09 PM
So it’s a trace component of the atmosphere, currently at about 0.0383%, to rise to, say, 0.05%, by your numbers (upon which I offer no comment one way or the other). Water vapor is about 0.4% of the atmosphere (an order of magnitude greater than C02), and about 1% to 4% near the surface of the earth, and a potent greenhouse gas. Yet the computer climate models so beloved of the global warmingists don’t take it into account! If you’re going to use the “average temperature”, if such a thing exists, as a proxy for atmospheric heat, you have to take into account variations in the humidity of the places where the measurements are being made.
This is what’s wrong with science at the “Discover magazine” level: because predictions of disaster sell so many copies, computer models at the extremes are taken to be scientific evidence, when they are nothing of the sort. I think it’s the reality-challenged generation that thinks World of Warcraft is actual war, and Star Trek is actual science, who are so easily confused by the fear-mongers because those things around which their culture revolves, TV and video games, have taught them no critical thinking skills whatsoever.

If you claim we’re facing a huge crisis that requires great personal sacrifice on everyone’s part, but refuse to make any real sacrifice yourself, then your attempts to obscure the latter fact through empty symbolic gestures deserve to be mocked.
It’s obvious what Al Gore should do, given his beliefs: Al should radically simplify his lifestyle.
Yet he could also do something that would, in its own way, be almost as impressive: simply confess his hypocrisy and weakness, and implore others to behave differently.
Imagine if Gore were to say, “Yes, I live in a deeply self-indulgent, utterly wasteful fashion. People like me are a very big part of the problem. I’d like to change, but I’m weak. For the sake of our planet, you need to be a stronger person than I’ve been.”
Now that would be an inconvenient truth.

Have you seen Obama environmental plan? Cap-n-Trade?
Why are people so eager to reduce their standard of living for an unproven theory – poor and inaccurate modeling of the environment – and a obvious money making scheme.
Does the term snake oil salesman come to mind?
Kini on December 26, 2008 at 5:15 PM
Small note: water vapor is distinct from clouds–clouds are liquid (or sometimes solid) water suspended in air. Water vapor provides a fair amount of the insulation that keeps the planet from freezing over, but clouds reflect the light that heats us up.
Count to 10 on December 26, 2008 at 5:16 PM
A minor correction. The year without a Summer was 1816 following the Tambora eruption of 1815.
For purposes of Climate Change discussions, that serves your point just as well.
I think we are overdue for a large volcanic eruption. The Krakatoa eruption of 1883 was much bigger than anything since, and the Tambora eruption of 1815 was larger still.

Al gore and his eco fundamentalist followers are there to tow the line,not even letting science get in the way of their new religion:
http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=13773
Scientist fired by Al Gore was told, “science will not intrude on public policy”.
“I have spent a long research career studying physics that is closely related to the greenhouse effect”, said Happer. “Fears about man-made global warming are unwarranted and are not based on good science.”
That’s right,the people who yell the loudest about “open mined,free debate” and “freedom of speech” show once again that they practice it the least.
Gore has become so pathetic that now he is not going to let”science intrude on public policy”.
But of course all this is not for the money,it’s for the polar bears damm!t.

Electric cars are the most hilarious. How do you generate the electricity to power them? Maybe by burning fossil fuel? Certainly there’s nowhere near the generating capacity from wind and solar to power O’Boingo’s “one million electric cars”, so where’s the payoff? You just move the pollution somewhere else.
mr.blacksheep on December 26, 2008 at 5:44 PM
The main benefit of hybrid cars is the regenerative breaking–getting energy out of your motion when you slow down instead of turning it into heat.
Count to 10 on December 26, 2008 at 5:44 PM
The calculus changes some if we allow nuclear power, but you would also have to beef up the power grid to handle the increased load.
Count to 10 on December 26, 2008 at 5:48 PM
No doubt you mean “braking”; we’ll save regenerative breaking for the cattle farmers ;)
So, what’s the efficiency of that? How much of the kinetic energy you dissipate coming to a stop can retrieved? Maybe 5% to 10%?
mr.blacksheep on December 26, 2008 at 5:48 PM
Exactly right. Much of the electric grid where I live is from burning diesel fuel. Ironic!

Yeah, you may be right. 50% loss on the way in, 50% loss on the way out; I’ll concede 25%, tops. I’d expect the efficiency to decline with the aggressiveness of the braking, and also be in proportion to speed (or, if you want to be precise, velocity in the direction of rotation of the wheels ;). In some places there’s no gain because they don’t use brakes: long highway journeys, agonizingly slow traffic, Italy.

So, let me see if I understand.
If we don’t stop using fossil fuels immediately, we are all going to die because of global warming. However, because George Bush (singularly apparently) won’t take all the plebes’ cars away, there is nothing that can be done, and Al Gore and his friends might as well continue to burn fossil fuels as fast as they with their enormous wealth.
Perhaps all the environuts should *each* take a luxury jet to Tuvalu so they can show us all how important it is we sell our cars and start biking to work – through several feet of “global warming” this time of year, of course.

As a geologist and someone who has used USGS data for years and years, I can assure you that the quality of USGS work product has been declining for years, mainly due to funding and mandates to work on stuff like global warming pseudo-science rather than real geology. The mission of the USGS has changed a lot, unfortunately, and I am more apt to use geologic maps that were produced in the 1940’s and 1950’s than I am to use current stuff, even if they were producing much of that.
Furthermore, one link to web site hardly constitutes “evidence.” Anyone with even a passing knowledge of science understands that they have been climatological cycles throughout geologic history. The nature of glaciers is to grow and recede in response to the climate which, by the way genius, is influenced by much more than human activity. If you would delve into anythings besides a few web site pictures, you could see that actual ice core data, etc. indicates that the glaciers in question have been growing and shrinking from long before global warming supposedly began. This can also be verified through dendrochronolgy that also accurately verifies climatological cycles that precede so-called global warming. However, I would not expect someone engaged in drive-by “science” to dig much deeper than pretty pictures on web site.
One last question: If glaciers receding is evidence of global warming, that what happened at the end of the last ice age? Perhaps global warming caused by mammoth methane production? Yeah – that must be it.

Starfleet Dude – just so you know – my new year’s resolution is to live my life as a free-born American and become the worst enemy the Gore-ists have ever had. I’ll make my stand, hold my ground and fight you until my last breath.
Take your global warming and get back on the mother ship and go to a galaxy far, far away.
That’s my last word on the subject.

Al Gore says: Do as I say, not as I do……….

Very nice.

USGS? Why would I trust any government agency anymore?
State Department? Filled with socialists undermining my country.
CIA? Filled with libtards undermining our CIC during wartime.
Look at Ohio’s state government attacks on Joe-the-plumber…..can we say t-y-r-r-a-n-y??? YES WE CAN!
