COP17: Durban delusions : Comments

By Michael Kile, published 12/12/2011

Deeper scrutiny of the weird world of international climate politics is long overdue.

imajulianutter (Esq),

I don't resile from my conclusion that if you choose a ridiculous user name - especially one with the deliciously inviting word "nutter" in it - then you are asking for trouble.
It's like walking into a saloon in a jester's suit with the words "PUNCH ME" tattooed on your forehead.

You're the bright spark who thought your tag was so clever. I have never openly abused you (it's a wonder!)....because you're rather pesky as well.

I'm NOT a Julia nutter, so please excuse me if I just address you as ... nutter.

Nutter,

You can contact Dr Weart by email at sweart@gmail.com
I am sure he will be interested in your, um, er ... shall we say, 'critique'.

Given that he was the Director of the Centre for History of Physics at AIP, he no doubt should be aware of the latest developments – you can help out here.

I do note you neglected to include a few cogent sentences following your recent quotation from Poirot's link (but let’s put that down to word limits or only seeing what you want to see. (personally, I think it a combination of cognitive disonance and confirmation bias, but that is only my opinion).

So, Dr Weart continued:

“Even if we stopped our emissions, would feedbacks drive things higher on their own?
There were disturbing signs that feedbacks were indeed kicking in.
Drying forests and warmer seawater were getting less efficient at taking CO2 out of the air,
and methane was seen bubbling up from Arctic wetlands.”

I saw this today; it reminded me of that last sentence:

Yours in good faith, big fake froggy denier.

Squeers,

I agree that it's unlikely that mankind will heed the warnings.

It's ironic that the same science that improved our lot and furnished us with the ability to do so much damage is now being ignored and ridiculed as it seeks to makes us aware of our dangerous excesses.

We are not wise, wise man.

Well, well well, OLO's resident commie troika is showing the white flag of surrender.

First we see the outright defeatist post of Chairman Squeers with his admissions socialism doesn't work and climate warming as a device to achieve a commie state is now lost. Pity he doesn't accept we the capitalist liberal democrats know we get to chose our own destinies and that they are not directed from on high by 'those who know best' and that we have put AWG and it's acolytes to the sword and are in the process of routing them... with truth.

Then along comes the 'Pravda-like soviet socialist' spokesman, the big fake froggy denier Bonmot who refuses to accept that the 'scientific' article cited as proof of AGW global is mired in a major flawed conclusion and suggests those that have revealed the fraud should seek clarification and 're-education' from the fraudster scientist who penned the simpleton assertions in his conclusion that the current global warming is caused by increased CO2 emissions, (Despite his quoted evidence which shows quite the opposite.)...

And finally arriving in a state of catatonic almost wordless but totally senseless fever is the self admitted dandy and witless (As in without wisdom) 'uselful idiot' Poirot who refuses to even acknowledge he cited an article exhibiting undergraduate shortcomings and continues unhappily on in his denialist belief that such nonsense is science.

How extraordinarily titillating for you.
