Yeah, About That NASA Data...

Holy fucking dogshit in the park! Can't these fuckers do anything correctly?

E-mail messages obtained by a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that NASA concluded that its own climate findings were inferior to those maintained by both the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) -- the scandalized source of the leaked Climate-gate e-mails -- and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center.

The e-mails from 2007 reveal that when a USA Today reporter asked if NASA's data "was more accurate" than other climate-change data sets, NASA's Dr. Reto A. Ruedy replied with an unequivocal no. He said "the National Climatic Data Center's procedure of only using the best stations is more accurate," admitting that some of his own procedures led to less accurate readings.

"My recommendation to you is to continue using NCDC's data for the U.S. means and [East Anglia] data for the global means {yikes!-ed}," Ruedy told the reporter.

"NASA's temperature data is worse than the Climate-gate temperature data. According to NASA," wrote Christopher Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute who uncovered the e-mails. Horner is skeptical of NCDC's data as well, stating plainly: "Three out of the four temperature data sets stink."

And these are the folks who we are supposed to trust when it comes to global warming?

Just Remember: It's All About The Polar Bears

Fuck you, Greenies. Fuck you and your totalitarian leanings. And fuck you for using lies and bogus data to defend and justify your views.

“I don’t think we’re yet evolved to the point where we’re clever enough to handle a complex a situation as climate change,” {yeah. Because the planet will kick our asses every time. That's just the way it is-ed} said Lovelock in his first in-depth interview since the theft of the UEA emails last November. “The inertia of humans is so huge that you can’t really do anything meaningful.” {yeah, like curing polio, a man on the moon, artificial limbs, flight, and microwave bacon? Fucking pipedreams-ed}

One of the main obstructions to meaningful action is “modern democracy”, he added. “Even the best democracies agree that when a major war approaches, democracy must be put on hold for the time being {Umm...what about Churchill losing his seat in 1945, during the last days of WWII? What about the 1944 election in the US? What about the elections in 1952, 1968, 1972, 2004?-ed} . I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war {Nazi Death Camps, The Somme, Cold Harbor, Ia Drang Valley, Fallujah? Pfft..Let's worry about a few polar bears and some dodgy data-ed}. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while.”

Oh, and how are totalitarian countries handling the environment? Ever see dead forests from the halcyon days of the USSR? What about smog cities in China? What about pollution and waste in Africa and the Middle East?

But no, because the most powerful country on the planet has a system of checks an balances, you want that overturned. And who, pray tell, do you fucking want to run things if you get your way? You? Algore? Fuck that. Fuck it hard.

I will take my chances with a free society, thank you very much. And you can get fucked along the way out.

They're Baaaccckkkk!

Yup. The AGW crowd keeps coming back.

Fuck you, greenies. Fuck you with a rusty waffle iron. Fuck you for worrying about stupid shit like this as a justification for whatever fistfuckingly fucked up future you want to force upon us. Fuck you for using bogus facts as a justification for your unsolicited prison goatse of a plan. And fuck you just because I fucking hate hippies.

And just for the left, please allow me to extend to you what I think of you right now:

Every little bit counts

This is hardly a huge victory against the Global Warmerists, but I think it's a sign that Climategate has had an impact:

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that the adverts – which were based on the children's poems Jack and Jill and Rub-A-Dub-Dub – made exaggerated claims about the threat to Britain from global warming.

In definitely asserting that climate change would cause flooding and drought the adverts went beyond mainstream scientific consensus, the watchdog said.

It noted that predictions about the potential global impact of global warming made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) "involved uncertainties" that the adverts failed to reflect.

 

The article states that the rebuke came in part from public complaints.

I'm far from certain, but it sounds to me like the Climategate scandal has opened the door to stuff like this. I mean, can you imagine something like this happening, say, a couple of years ago?

AGW Freaks Are Scared? Well Tough Shit!

This comment from McGoo over at Soylent Green ultimately led me to this priceless quote from one of the big AGW enablers. as fewer and fewer people buy into their bullshit.

Ecologist Paul Ehrlich at Stanford University in California says that his climate colleagues are at a loss about how to counter the attacks. “Everyone is scared shitless, but they don't know what to do,” he says.

Yeah, well, guess what (UPDATE INCLUDED BELOW)?

Rejoice Greenies! Obama Is Set To Push For Your Agenda!

Man, you goofs are are so screwed now.

And in marginally related Green Goofiness, it appears as though "fucking that chicken" will now have a whole new meaning in Switzerland.

Obama To Hammer Fishermen And The Fishing Industry?

Oh, for fuck's sake.

"Now we see NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and the administration planning the future of recreational fishing access in America based on a similar agenda of these same groups and other Big Green anti-use organizations, through an Executive Order by the President. The current U.S. direction with fishing is a direct parallel to what happened in Canada with hunting: The negative economic impacts on hard working American families and small businesses are being ignored.

"In spite of what we hear daily in the press about the President's concern for jobs and the economy and contrary to what he stated in the June order creating this process, we have seen no evidence from NOAA or the task force that recreational fishing and related jobs are receiving any priority."

Consequently, unless anglers speak up and convince their Congressional representatives to stop this bureaucratic freight train, it appears that the task force will issue a final report for "marine spatial planning" by late March, with President Barack Obama then issuing an Executive Order to implement its recommendations — whatever they may be.

Led by NOAA's Jane Lubchenco, the task force has shown no overt dislike of recreational angling, but its indifference to the economic, social and biological value of the sport has been deafening.

Additionally, Lubchenco and others in the administration have close ties to environmental groups who would like nothing better than to ban recreational angling. And evidence suggests that these organizations have been the engine behind the task force since before Obama issued a memo creating it last June.

Dog Bites Man: Soros-funded Green Business Astroturfing

A name like "American Businesses for Clean Energy" trips my BS detector somethin' fierce.  "Clean energy" in reference to current-generation technology is pretty much antithetical to economic growth.

I found out about this organization from a co-blogger from another site who was approached about spreading the word about this wonderful group.  Obviously the green evangelist didn't realize my co-blogger dude does a lot of business with oil companies and makes frequent trips to Alaska. 

First stop is a WhoIs search -- turns out the domain is registered to a group called the Natural Resources Defense Council, which is funded by all the usual lefty suspects such as Soros' Open Society Institute, Ted Turner's foundation, the New York Times Company Foundation, the Heinz Family Foundation, etc.  Robert Redford and Leonardo DiCaprio happen to be on the NRDC board of trustees.

I guess this is where I'd go "gotcha", but as I indicated in the title, this is pretty much a "dog bites man" story.

Maybe Writing Emails Is A Bad Thing For Green Goofs.

Wow. It looks as though a Soros group is tied to a bunch of wind initiatives.

The 900 pages of emails, obtained by the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Christopher C. Horner, show staff members from the DoE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the EPA developing a response to the report. They also show them coordinating the response with the Center for American Progress, plus the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) and the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) — two wind industry lobbyist groups.

What the emails show runs contrary to statements made to Congress by the Assistant Secretary of Energy Cathy Zoi — the Obama administration response to the Spanish report was in fact instigated at the request of the AWEA. It was then written with the close cooperation of the AWEA, the Center for American Progress, and the Union of Concerned Scientists.

The emails concentrate on the political implications of the Spanish study — and how to discredit it.

There also appears to have been significant pressure to publish an internal report from the NREL as a DoE report — bypassing the internal review and publication procedures — and to do so quickly.

The emails suggest that wind industry lobbyists and political organizations have significant behind-the-scenes influence on scientific reports from the Obama administration. This contradicts Obama’s insistence that his administration would get the politics out of science. It also calls into question the objectivity and quality of the information they provided to Congress.

Did Phil Jones Perjure Himself?

Look, I have no idea what the UK's perjury laws are, especially in front of Parliament. But whatever they are, Phil Jones may have indeed perjured himself.

Dr. Jones asserted that the weather services of several countries, including Sweden, Canada and Poland, had refused to allow their data to be released, to explain his reluctance to comply with Freedom of Information requests.

This statement is false and misleading in regards to the Swedish data.

All Swedish climate data are available in the public domain. As is demonstrated in the attached correspondence between SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute), the UK Met Office and Dr. Jones (the last correspondence dated yesterday March 4), this has been clearly explained to Dr. Jones. What is also clear is that SMHI is reluctant to be connected to data that has undergone “processing” {heh. What's Scandi for "fucking shredding as we fucking speak"?-ed}by the East Anglia research unit.

Oopsie!

Dear Phil Jones

Fuck you. Fuck you with Algore's used sweatrags. Fuck your "process". Fuck the scams you have pushed with your fucked up "process". Fuck your arrogance. Fuck the polar bears, carbon credits, Cap & Trade, glaciers, and anything else you or your whoresons of fucking fuckity fuck and luxuriously icegilded mountain goatse have going for you. And just fuck you and your hoy hoy sweep of vanity in general.

You want a "process"? You fucking want to do it right? Why not follow this memo, oh sucker of syrup from the skyfucked treecock of fuck? Or, is the fear of being proven wrong too much for you and your cockringed cabal of climate coddled kleptocracy, who have helped force punitive and burdensome restrictions and penalties on people and businesses because of the shit you pushed?

Fuck you, Phil Jones. Fuck you for what you have done to the world, science, and everything because of your work. Now go away, and fuck off while you are at it.

Violent, Right Wing Teabaggers Go On An Ideologically Fueled Killing Spree

Did I say that? I meant enviro wackos who took Manbearpig's works to heart and were inspired to kill themselves and their children. Thankfully, the baby daughter survived.

But their unnamed daughter cheated death after the bullet from her dad's handgun missed her vital organs.

Paramedics rushed her to hospital covered in blood when police alerted by worried neighbours discovered the massacre three days later.

The youngster is recovering in hospital in the town of Goya in the northern Argentine province of Corrientes, where doctors say she is out of danger.

Her parents said they feared the effects of global warming in a suicide note discovered by police.

Shockingly, this story has not been covered in the American press.
