Winter in New Hampshire, and the snowbats come out to play:

Rejoicing in the chill, one of the organisers of this debacle “said it was almost as cold as the day former presidential candidate Al Gore gave his global warming speech in New York City.” Hooray!

UPDATE. Global warming has stopped, writes David Whitehouse:

With only few days remaining in 2007, the indications are the global temperature for this year is the same as that for 2006 – there has been no warming over the 12 months.

But is this just a blip in the ever upward trend you may ask? No.

The fact is that the global temperature of 2007 is statistically the same as 2006 as well as every year since 2001. Global warming has, temporarily or permanently, ceased.

    1. Are they for it or against it?

    1. My thought exactly, blogstrop. I thought to myself, I did, I thought:

      “At last, someone coming to their senses and demonstrating for global warming”

      “We want it hot. When do we want it? Now!”

    1. Make it a priority?  They want heat it seems…

    1. The sign in the background says “stop global warming” so maybe it’s a red state / blue state thing?

    1. “Slush sucks”.

      So which of our esteemed opinion writers has the nickname “Slush”?

      My theory is:
      Traceeee is Lush, because she’s always trying to score.
      Catherine Deveny is Crush, because she doesn’t like dissent.
      Phil Adams is Plush, because he reminds me of a giant, smelly, teddy bear that no kid would ever want.
      Terry Lane is Flush, because that’s what happened to his weekly column.
      Adele Horin is Mush, because that’s all she ever writes.

      So, as you can see, one of our finest opinion writers must go by the name “Slush”.

    1. According to the article, one of the demonstrators was an employee of The Carbon Coalition.

      Aha, another coal industry shill.

    1. reposted here because I’m not sure what skite means

      Merry Christmas TimB! I hope this will get you through most of 2008. Since I got you such a great gift maybe you could use your position as opinion page editor at the Telegraph to let me have some space on that page to express some opinions about 1.618, 1.618 & me, and other 1.618 related topics. I think about 8-12 column inches might be enough space. What girl wouldn’t be impressed by 8 column inches? (over 20 cm!)

    1. OT: It looks like Infidel Tiger is poised to take over from Chuck Norris.

    1. Can’t say I’ve ever visited New Hampshire, but from that photo I’d say a few cacti, palm trees and bimbos in bikinis would improve it.

    1. #8, Ash_:

      That is, in deed, important news. But of even greater import is….

      Which side will he align himself with in the eternal Pirates vs Ninjas war?

    1. #10 Ooooh, Grimmy, such a close fight!

      Any prediction on the winner so I can get in on the betting?

    1. Ash_:

      This site gives a good break down of the pros and cons of both sides of the Pirate vs Ninja War

      It’s a short but fact filled presentation that does a good job of clearly laying out both the strengths and weaknesses of each side.

      The conclusion reached at the end is not obvious, but after you think on it some, you’ll see the rightfulness-ness of it.

    1. #12 Grimmy, I’m inclined to side with the pirates on this one… because they have Captain Jack Sparrow.

    1. Oh, and so folk don’t get all up on me about going off topic so early in a thread…

      The pirate vs ninja presentation has proof that it’s the decline in pirates that’s behind the current warming thing.

      Seriously. It’s all very scientific.

    1. I’m betting on robots.

    1. Robots are always a safe bet. Especially with Wronwright and Paco in charge. Wimp.

    1. My first reaction to Pirates vs Ninjas was that someone had been playing DragonFable for wayyy too long.

    1. The really interesting thing about the article in the New Statesman is that it is in the New Statesman, a lefty rag in the UK.

      Dang, couldn’t they start it back up for just a little longer? It’s still freezing cold here!

    1. COL Milquetoast, that is BRILLIANT!!!!

      Any chance that you might post a version sans name and date?  So that other people might gift their loved ones with such a blessing?

    1. I’m v-v-visiting Melbourne this w-w-week and I n-n-nearly froze off some very important bits of my anatomy l-l-last night. Late D-December and it’s b-bloody f-freezing! I b-b-lame g-global w-w-warming…

    1. There’s a commenter on the New Statesman article called SCEPTIC.  It seems that sceptics are now what we call people who disbelieve data showing the Earth isn’t warming.

    1. Thank you, COL Milquetoast!  Do you take checks?

    1. #25 – no matter. We have good supplies of antisceptic. If datacillin fails we’ll fall back on blogacillin. Or Paco’s Patented Rubbing Alcohol.

    1. #23 Man up Nicholas! I live here year ‘round!

      I offer Melbourne as proof that Global Warming is a crock of shit.

    1. Make Poverty History

    Thank you, Al Gore!  All hail the Goreacle!
