18 annual climate gabfests: 16 years without warming
CHRISTOPHER MONCKTON of BRENCHLEY
DELEGATES at the 18th annual UN climate gabfest at the dismal, echoing Doha conference center – one of the least exotic locations chosen for these rebarbatively repetitive exercises in pointlessness – have an Oops! problem.
No, not the sand-flies. Not the questionable food. Not the near-record low attendance. The Oops! problem is this. For the past 16 of the 18-year series of annual hot-air sessions about hot air, the world’s hot air has not gotten hotter. There has been no global warming. At all. Zilch. Nada. Zip. Bupkis.
The equations of classical physics do not require the arrow of time to flow only forward. However, observation indicates this is what always happens. So tomorrow’s predicted warming that has not happened today cannot have caused yesterday’s superstorms, now, can it?
That means They can’t even get away with claiming that tropical storm Sandy and other recent extreme-weather happenings were All Our Fault. After more than a decade and a half without any global warming at all, one does not need to be a climate scientist to know that global warming cannot have been to blame.

When I was in the Navy, we worked hand in hand with the NOAA. On a daily basis. Global warming was a big joke. Didn’t get laid last night? Must be GLOBAL WARMING!! Soda machine took your money? Must be GLOBAL WARMING!! Yesterday’s lunchtime tacos gave you the shits? Must be GLOBAL WARMING!! Everyone had a BIG laugh! Over 70 meteorologists, and not ONE that I could find believed the global warming nonsense. And more than a few of them told me they only talked about it when it came time for funding talks. Hell, one of them even wrote columns for magazines and newspapers on the DANGER just to make extra cash on the side.

Here is my version of Global Warming since science is off the table:
God is really pissed. He sent Sandy to shatter Seaside Heights because of Snookie’s snatch.

This is a religious matter. Facts need not apply.

Lord Monckon is a gas! I really enjoy reading his articles and watching his videos. If he is ever successful in killing this global warming hoax he has a promising future in comedy.

Global warming is BS but I have to admit I’m getting a little steamed behind the ears.

Why let the truth stand in the way of a good hoax.

Look at the Y axis on the left. It is measured in tenths of a degree. If the Y axis was full degrees, that line would be damn near flat.
Most of the change in that graph occurs from between .2 and .7 degrees. So, one-half of a degree. I challenge anyone to prove that they can discern the difference between 69.5 degrees F and 70.0 degrees F. Put a gorebot in a room at 69.5 degrees and have him tell you precisely when the temp goes up to 70 and then down to 69.5 again. Every single “change” will be a guess and he’ll get about 50% of them correct. In other words, a coin flip — probability. The best way to do this is to never change it from 69.5 and let him prattle on about the temperature change.
Global Warming zealots. Ruining your life (but giving you endless comedic relief) since 1980.

The sad thing is that once AGW is exposed as the fraud it is, its creators will have been long dead.
Hear that, St. Algore? Even YOU are wormfood, you sanctimonious piece of crap.
