G is for Green, a mantra, a shibboleth, a way of life; the Guardian (house journal of the global warming platoons); and Gwyneth Paltrow, who has said that she can “just feel” it getting globally warmer in her bones…Maybe her husband’s band, Coldplay, should be re-named. Foreplay?
H is “hide the decline”, (referring to a temperature graph that appeared on the cover of a 1999 report from the World Meteorological Organization). The phrase has been embraced by deniers as proof that the warmists are charlatans, as, previously, was the hockey stick—a graph that shows warming in the Northern Hemisphere, and which was featured in the 2001 IPCC Third Assessment Report (TAR). Since its publication, the scientific methodology used to create it has been a source of intense dispute.
