CHILLING SPREE CONTINUES
The Gore Effect hits Hollywood!
UPDATE. Mark Steyn recalls a rustic warmening proverb:
If ‘tis warm in December
It be global warming you must remember
But if it be cold in Jan
That means even more products we must ban
And if in Feb it’s just 53 and partly sunny with occasional showers
That means ye Earth will only survive a few more hours.
The main instapundit page will do the trick.

Here’s Gore on a recent stopover in Hawaii.
Posted by Margos Maid on 2007 01 17 at 10:10 PM • permalinkThe Gore Effect hits Hollywood!
In light of the new climate in Southern California, the big studios are currently remaking the following movies:
Ice Station Zebra
The Big Chill
In Cold Blood
Cold Mountain
Cool Hand Luke
The Spy Who Came in From the Cold
Ice Age 3 is also on the drawing boardHowever, Chill Wills will be unable to star in any of them due to the fact he is dead.
Sorry, this way OT but too funny to miss.... Over on All Men Are Liars is a post about men who throw tantrums containing some speculation as to the cause of this behaviour. The very first post in response blames John Howard. Amazingly, gangsta rap is also John Howards fault.
O/T, but regular commenter, philosopher, philanthropist and connoisseur of feminine pulchritude, Swinish Capitalist, arranged to have one of Gina Elise’s calendars sent to Private Paco, Jr. It arrived today, and it is magnificent! Since Paco Jr. is currently in Richmond visiting his brother, and since I won’t be able to get the calendar to him until this Sunday, I will have time to study every month in great detail. Get out there and get one. It’s for a good cause, and Gina is gorgeous.
#7: However, Chill Wills will be unable to star in any of them due to the fact he is dead.
That’s true, but Chilly Willy’s available.
Maybe Algore should arrange for a glacier to move into Hollywood, to offset global goreming, y’know?

Is that some sort of Hollywood-Code-Speak, for, “Someone spilled the cocaine on the carpet.”?
NPR told me, so I know it to be true, that if temps are exceptionaly cold, it’s due to “Global-Warming”. And if temps are exceptionaly warm, it too, is due to “Global-Warming”.
Nothing to see here people...let’s all just move along.
Can’t you guys send Vice President Puffy to Melbourne? Those poor tennis players are sweltering!
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 01 18 at 01:08 AM • permalinkIn other Global Somethinging news, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have reset the Doomsday Clock, and one of their very smartest guys, Physicist Lawrence Krauss of Case Western Reserve, has declared that the climate has been constant for the last 500,000 years. All that glaciation stuff, all those eskers and drumlins? The fact that all of Scotland looks like one big golf course? Never happened! All in your imagination! That’s quite a step forward from memory-holing the medieval warm period and the “little ice age”. What’ll they un-think of next?
And you’re required to believe this clown, because he’s a Scientist, or something.

Weather Channel Climate Expert Calls for Decertifying Global Warming Skeptics
The Weather Channel’s most prominent climatologist is advocating that broadcast meteorologists be stripped of their scientific certification if they express skepticism about predictions of manmade catastrophic global warming. This latest call to silence skeptics follows a year (2006) in which skeptics were compared to “Holocaust Deniers” and Nuremberg-style war crimes trials were advocated by several climate alarmists.
The Weather Channel’s (TWC) Heidi Cullen, who hosts the weekly global warming program “The Climate Code,” is advocating that the American Meteorological Society (AMS) revoke their “Seal of Approval” for any television weatherman who expresses skepticism that human activity is creating a climate catastrophe.
“If a meteorologist can’t speak to the fundamental science of climate change, then maybe the AMS shouldn’t give them a Seal of Approval. Clearly, the AMS doesn’t agree that global warming can be blamed on cyclical weather patterns,”::CRASH::

The full Dickens quote is so relevant today its scary.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 01 18 at 03:18 AM • permalinkMuch excitement elsewhere about the news/coredata poll that finds Australians far more worried about climate change than terrorism. Apart from the obvious impact of water restrictions on citizens moods, I am curious about the claim that 75% have made personal changes like “walking or using more efficient electrical devices to reduce energy consumption” Very odd. As white goods now come with energy ratings plasted on the front of them it is hard to imagine who would say, even though the stove promised to cost me a fortune to run or the dishwasher promised to double my water bill, I chose it over a energy and water efficient item. Or that walking instead of driving, say to work, was a choice of the factory worker with the late shift and kms from his home. However the inner city living CBD worker who is worried about his/her weight is a different matter. Or breathalysers.
Anyone able to direct to the poll itself. Coredata uses a number of methods including face to face, paid and e-polling. News I think relies on reader polls.
Amongst our weaponry are such elements as…
Fear, ahh…
Stop. Stop there! Stop. Our chief weapon is surprise, blah, blah, blah, blah. Cardinal Lambert, read the charges.
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2007 01 18 at 03:48 AM • permalinkThe Weather Channel’s (TWC) Heidi Cullen, who hosts the weekly global warming program “The Climate Code,”
This bint is a certified wild-eyed zealot. I caught her act once - every study or stat she reported that supported globular warmerizing was presented as fact. When forced to report inconveniently contrary studies that made the news, she cautioned that the studies were “preliminary” and more research was needed.
Try watching this show just once and count the number of times she says something that makes you want to hurl a brick through the screen.
I’ve seen her once or twice. I like the historical stuff TWC runs, like Storm Stories, but it’s usually no more than 4 or 5 minutes into her sermon before I say “fuck this” and change the channel.

I bought two to give away to friends, but hell, as soon as I opened the package their names flew straight out of my head. Maybe they’ll be luckier next year.
GO GINA!Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2007 01 18 at 05:25 AM • permalinkMmmm… Gina.
Haven’t got mine yet; I only ordered it Monday.

When the wind is blowing in the North
The warmening is coming forth,

When the wind is blowing in the West,

Sailors take warning.Posted by andycanuck on 2007 01 18 at 10:29 AM • permalinkThe good news is that Paco Geothermal Industries is currently negotiating with Al Gore to procure and duplicate his DNA. Under carefully-controlled, laboratory conditions, we believe that Politician-Assisted Cold Output can be generated from the DNA molecules, bottled, and sold as a cheap substitute for freon, thus revolutionizing the refrigeration industry. Soon, we’ll all be using GoreFrost.
Speaking of Global Warmmongering, some of the Faithful have found a new method of argument.
Posted by Ken Summers on 2007 01 18 at 10:31 AM • permalink#49: Very interesting story, Ken. Who ever would have thought that the Weather Channel would become controversial? Or that it would wind up with a jackbooted weather chick? As has been said many times, “ideas have consequences”, and just because they’re wacky doesn’t mean they aren’t potentially dangerous to our liberty.
#49 Just out of interest exactly how does she think the skeptics would be “be stripped of their scientific certification”. Neither she nor any of the professional bodies have that power and even the Universities that granted the degrees and doctorates could only rescind them in the event of something like fraud during the actual research the degree was awarded for being demonstrated.
Also Someone should tell her that a seal of approval isn’t a scientific certification. Besides which, what would the AMS do if they rescinded one of these and the station simply told them to get stuffed. It’s not as if they are going to be able to stop them broadcasting weather reports.
Of course she’s simply barking mad, but it would be nice if these people occasionally stopped to think before speaking.
Apparently, the AMS has some form of <a href="http://www.ametsoc.org/amscert/">certification for weatherpeople.
