Modern leftism is a plot by some white males to use women and non whites to destroy other white males. Obama is president, but he does not know what some white male has written on his teleprompter until he reads it.

Peter Gleik phished some genuine files from the Heartland Institute. The files revealed what everyone knows, what no one has ever denied, and what the Heartland Institute has frequently announced: That the Heartland Institute is funding science that is skeptical of global warming, though its funding is ludicrously tiny, while Peter Gleik received half a million dollars to attack skeptics and help the warming cause.
He then created what he probably considered to be a truthful summary of these files and fraudulently attributed his summary to the Heartland Institute. Doubtless he thought of the summary as fake but accurate. The summary, however, is written from within the left worldview, not from the Heartland Institute worldview. It contained numerous tells, lines that gave away its true authorship, among them its description of Gleik as a climate scientist, rather than a political activist, and gave away much about the minds of leftists.

Climategate 1 is self summarized by the famous line:

Climategate 2 is self summarized by the theme: ‘

“Arctic ice hits near record low, Threatening Wildlife”
Since we have been observing the total ice area for thirty years, on average, assuming that there is no long term warming trend, arctic ice will hit a near record low one year out of ten.
But, of course, there are two poles, so in one year out of five either arctic or antarctic ice will hit a near record low. And of course, there is also the rest of the world to have near record events in. (more…)
A replication of part of Clive Best’s analysis.
The theory of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming assumes a number of points without evidence, assumptions that might well be true, but which they have made no attempt to test.
One is that warming would be a bad thing, another is that the world is very sensitive to quite small CO2 greenhouse effect, supposedly because the CO2 greenhouse effect will be enormously amplified by the H2O green house effect.
And another is that human burning of coal and oil can have a significant effect on atmospheric CO2. (more…)
Stephan and Rachit cored lots of trees, to estimate weather in past years. In a cold climate, near the tree line, a tree will generally grow more if the weather is warm than if it is cold, though lots of other things affect it too. Still, if you check lots of trees over a wide area of very cold land, other factors will probably average out, and the rate of growth,the width of the tree rings, will largely indicate temperature. And Stephan and Rachit cored a lot of trees, over a lot of very cold land, while being attacked by hordes of ravenous mosquitoes.
Yet somehow, strange to report, only about a tenth of the trees they cored were used to construct a hockey stick graph. Most of their data was quietly buried as unwanted, but leaked in the climategate files documents/briffa-treering-external/stepan. Recently Climate Audit took a look at this neglected data.
Why, you may ask, were some trees included and other trees, the vast majority of the trees, not included?
Climate Audit constructs a graph of growth. The red line is the growth rate of the small set of trees the Anthropogenic Global Warmists chose to use for their hockey stick of doom. The black line is growth rate for all of the trees that Stephan and Rachit cored while fighting off mosquitoes, including the vast majority of trees which the the Warmists somehow chose to not use.
What the real data showed
Observe that the red line, the cherry picked trees, show something dramatic and unusual happening in the twentieth century, especially the late twentieth century, show something like a hockey stick. The unselected trees, the vast majority of the trees, show a slight warming trend over centuries, but no more so in the twentieth century than in any other century.
Murder children for a greener tomorrow.
Most honest political ad of all time.
By now, you have probably seen the No Pressure video, depicting the warmist wish fulfillment fantasy where they get to blow up the heretics. It starts with a warmist teacher blowing up skeptical children, then depicts every people of every part of society being blown up, then finally the revolution devours its children, with a warmist blowing up another warmist for inadequate faith.
A lot of blogs are asking: “what were they thinking!”;
Cull the skeptics, Infocult, The Catastrophist, Fascistic New Video, Greens want to blow you up, Chicks on the right, Boom!, most self-defeating ad campaign ever, utter stupidity, decimation, massive Freudian slip.
Seems pretty obvious to me. They were thinking about power, which is what the global warming campaign has been about from the beginning.
The fascinating thing is that before the shitstorm hit all the good and great signed on saying what a great video it is. Blowing up children. Ha ha! So funny. Serves them right for doubting their betters!
The video reveals the true character of our rulers. They think that murdering people who disagree with them is funny.
One commenter gets it right in revolting
Politics, which fundamentally is a struggle to control the most violent organization in society, attracts people that are amoral or whom otherwise lack consideration for their fellow men. The more expansive the state, the more attractive it is to these people. The more they dominate the state, the more expansive and activist it becomes.It’s a vicious feedback loop ending only when the state kills the civilization that is its host, or so shocks the host’s sensibilities that the people rebel.
