Even the Dutch are losing faith

Front page news today in Holland’s arguably most left newspaper De Volkskrant: “Scientists shocked by attack from minister Cramer” after Holland’s environment minister Cramer said she would not accept “any more mistakes” in the IPCC Fouth Assessment Report.

After freaking out at the glacier mistake last week (”Politicians Furious After Yet Another Blunder in the IPCC Report“) , the minister could not accept the IPCC report made such a huge mistake by reporting that 55% of The Netherlands is below sea level, when in fact it is 26%. (The additional 29% is at risk of flooding from rivers). Of course, the leftist newspaper quotes a number of scientists that claim it is merely an honest mistake.

The newspaper adds:

Greenpeace-gate?

After Climategate, Glaciergate, Amazongate, Pauchaurigate now comes Greenpeacegate. The Global Warming movement is unraveling faster than the North Pole is supposed to be melting. As Donna Laframboise, the creator of NOconsensus.org writes, it is hard to find out where greenpeace ends and the IPCC starts:the IPCC reports has a large number of “peer reviewed” references to  that seem to come from Greenpeace flyers and other un-reviewed Greenpeace literature.

Donna writes:

When discussing solar energy elsewhere, the report references two Greenpeace documents in one sentence. Here it uses a Greenpeace paper as its sole means of documenting where the “main wind-energy investments” are located globally (Wind).

She continues:

The expert reviewers who had input into just one portion (Working Group III) of the IPCC report are listed in this 8-page PDF. They read more

There’s No Place Like This

Mr. McGuinty announced his latest project today: 7 billion dollars goes to South Korea, for which a consortium led by Samsung will build and set up wind and solar farms across Ontario. The government has guaranteed them to pay above-market prices for green power. For all this, they’ll create 15,000 jobs.

So, to recap, we’re paying Samsung to build unproven wind and solar farms, and we’ll be buying over-priced power from them after. In addition, we paid nearly half a million dollars for each job created.

How does this help us?

I suppose the commercial is right: there is no place like McGuinty’s Ontario…

That should read: IPCC admits Fourth Assessment Report based on false data–apologizes to world for wasting billions of dollars

Once again, the IPCC was proven WRONG on a major issue regarding its claim that the probability of glaciers in the Himalayas “disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high.” in the Fourth Assessment Report. In fact, the scientist that initially informed the IPCC of the glaciers disappearing, immediately retracted his statement after he issued it,  months before the Fourth Assessment Report came out back in 2007. They had ample time to take it out, but I suppose the exposed Himalayas was a great mental image, not to be wasted.

The Fourth Assessment Report said the evidence for global warming was now “unequivocal,” the chief source for it was man-made and there were already signs, of which glacial melt was one. It read more

Why Every Good Tory Should Use Bing

I’m off of Google. Google is no longer a verb in my vocabulary.

When introduced years ago as an alternative to Yahoo!, it was good. It was much better than Yahoo! And for a while it was the de facto standard for searching the Internet. However, recent revelations have me believe that Google is seriously censoring and filtering the search results, and as a free-thinking, freedom of speech advocate, I can no longer support such an institution.

From Lawrence Solomon’s column Better off with Bing comes this:

Sometime around then, in early December, Google began to minimize the Climategate scandal by hiding Climategate pages from its users. By Dec. 17, the number of climategate pages that a Google search found dropped by almost 10 read more

At least one good thing came from Hopenhagen…

We, Canada, received the “Fossil of the Year” award for our inaction against Climate Change. I couldn’t be happier with any other award.

I for one am very proud to have gotten this reward, and we should put it on display, very prominently, on Parliament Hill:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe we can replace the New Year’s Eve Log Show with an image of this wonderful award:

 

 

 

 

 

We should all sew these patches on our clothes and hand them out at international events:

 

 

 

 

 

 

We could silk-screen a giant version of it on the CanadArm 2:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We could add it to our Olympic mascots:

 

 

 

 

We could project it onto the moon at night to calm our fears:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d say, congratulations to PM harper and Jim Prentice for getting us this prestiguous award!

Once again to Ms. May: Go away! Please!

December 17, 2009 @ 12:57 pm 6 COMMENTS

Ms. May, perhaps in search of a seat somewhere in Denmark where she may be elected (since she can’t get elected anywhere in this country), popped up, once again, on the radar at an ‘environmental’ conference at Hopenhagen, the world’s Schmooze-fest on Global Warming (even though there is no warming).

Unfortunately, I have already called her every name in the book in my many post before this one, so I have none to give you. I apologise.

Granted she hasn’t mentioned her book just jet, but has already told Canada to ’shut up’ and has been seen rubbing shoulders with such great human beings as Al Gore. Wonder if he showed her his Oscar… Oh Al, are you happy to see me, read more

Climategate: Fudge Factors and other ‘tricks’

December 5, 2009 @ 1:23 pm 0 COMMENTS

As damaging the leaked CRU emails are to the Global Warmists, the real truth lies in the code. The computer program that “massages” the raw data into legible graphs and charts. That computer program isn’t written by scientists. It is not even written by anyone closely related to weather or climates: It is written by computer programmers (such as myself) FOR the climatologists. And as a computer programmer, I know that first and foremost the output of your program has to be what the client wants to see. They hired you: they have to be pleased.

I, and a large number of other people along with me, have examined the code leaked by the CRU hacks and I am astonished by read more

A Convenient Polar Bear Death

December 3, 2009 @ 9:57 am 4 COMMENTS

Just when cracks were starting to appear in the man-made global warming theory, John Gunter, general manager of tour group Frontiers North Adventures, came across a case of polar bear cannibalization on Nov 20 and hit the Warmist jackpot: a nice picture of a male polar bear killing and eating a polar bear cub, complete with shockingly blood-stained ice-floes, and giddily, like Europeans huddled around a bloodied Newfoundland seal pup, delivered the pictures to a welcoming media, eager to turn the spotlight away from Climategate, and gobbled it up like Coca Cola (pun intended), splashing the bloody pictures on the screen, complete with sad music, a sombre tone and disclaimer.

Global Warming caused the ice to melt, cutting off the Polar Bears’ food supply, and making them turn read more

Can we please get this guy out of office before he bankrupts all of us?

Guinty & Smithy are just running wild now. One boondoggle after another. There seems to be no way to stop them.

The latest stupidity project is taking shape in Almonte. Mr. eHealth Scandal himself, George Smitherman, was on-hand to unveil the latest proof of incompetence: Two-hundred acres of prime, fertile farm land has been leased to a French company, that, for the lovely sum of $100,000,000 of Ontario taxpayer dollars, will erect a “solar wonder of the world” and, get this, will be paid $0.42 per kW/h to generate electricity. We currently pay, say, 0.06 per kW/h for coal/hydro/nuclear, so that will be an increase of seven hundred percent to the cost of electricity. AND we have to pay them to build it. On top of that, read more
