Romance Novels Are Really Hot When Written By Climate Scientists

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Monday, February 01, 2010 3:31:13 PM
   Just when you thought the romance novel industry was getting cold, it got a shot in the arm from who else but Dr Rajendra Pachauri. Yes, the head of the U.N.'s panel on climate change.

As the UN's climate change chief, Dr Rajendra Pachauri has spent his career writing only the driest of academic articles. But the latest offering from the chairman of the UN’s climate change panel is an altogether racier tome.

Some might even suggest Dr Pachauri’s first novel is frankly smutty.

Return to Almora, published in Dr Pachauri’s native India earlier this month, tells the story of Sanjay Nath, an academic in his 60s reminiscing on his "spiritual journey" through India, Peru and the US.

On the way he encounters, among others, Shirley MacLaine, the actress, who appears as a character in the book. While relations between Sanjay and MacLaine remain platonic, he enjoys sex – a lot of sex – with a lot of women.
 
   I guess all that global warming business has got him so hot he needs to express it in other ways besides boring climate papers.
 
   Actually, I am okay with this. What is he going to do with himself after this whole global warming thing falls on its face? Better to have another line of work ready to go... just in case.

Climate Scientists Break Law - Get Away With It

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Monday, February 01, 2010 3:16:30 PM
   It was determined that the climate scientists at the University of East Anglia broke the law by not releasing climate data under Britains Freedom of Information act. But lucky for them, it all worked out okay...
 
But while the public research university in Norwich, England, may have broken the law, it will not be prosecuted because a six-month time limit for prosecutions elapsed, The Times of London reported the independent regulatory office under the justice ministry as saying.
 
   How convenient.

News Alert: Bin Laden Is Concerend With Climate Change!

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Monday, February 01, 2010 2:49:40 PM
     Al Jazeera has an audio tape it claims it got from Bin Laden claiming climate change is real. Via Climate Feedback Blog

"This is a message to the whole world about those responsible for climate change and its repercussions - whether intentionally or unintentionally - and about the action we must take," says bin Laden.

"Speaking about climate change is not a matter of intellectual luxury - the phenomenon is an actual fact."

Bin Laden blames all western economies for doing too little to curb greenhouse gas emissions, but in particular condemns former US president George W. Bush for not having ratified the Kyoto Protocol.

“George Bush junior, preceded by [the US] congress, dismissed the agreement to placate giant corporations. And they are themselves standing behind speculation, monopoly and soaring living,” Bin Laden says.

The message contains no direct threats of terror acts. Intelligence analysts have not yet confirmed the authenticity of the tape.
 
   The "great satan" is responsible for global warming as well. Nothing surprising there.
   
   If he is that concerened with the climate, maybe we could bring a little winter his way...nuclear winter, if you catch my drift.

   Snowflakes In Hell has a link to a Washington Post article on Indians looking into gun ownership after the attacks a couple of years ago in Mumbai. As Sebastian says, hopefully they will be a leader in the part of the world as it pertains to citizen gun ownership.
 
   We just need to make sure we stay on there good side...

New Report On Climate-Lots Of Blame To Go Around

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Monday, February 01, 2010 2:04:09 PM
   Seems now that NASA and NOAA are complicite in the mining of favorable data. Of course, we already suspected that did we not?

There was a major station dropout — and an increase in missing data from remaining stations — which occurred suddenly around 1990. Just about the time the global warming issue was being elevated to importance in political and environmental circles.

A clear bias was found towards removing higher elevation, higher latitude, and rural stations — the cooler stations — during this culling process, though that data was not also removed from the base periods from which “averages,” and then anomalies, were computed.

The data also suffers contamination by urbanization and other local factors, such as land-use/land-cover changes and improper siting.

There are also uncertainties in ocean temperatures. This is no small issue, as oceans cover 71% of Earth’s surface.
 
   Surprise, surprise, surpise...

More Backlash From the Himalayan Glacier Business

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Monday, February 01, 2010 1:50:09 PM
   Last Month, the IPCC came out to retract their assertion of massive glacial melt on the Himalaya's, and glacier disappaerance by 2035.
Now we find out that the WWF, or the World Wildlife Fund has been getting funded by the European Union to the tune of around 8 million euro's a year.
 
For exactly what sort of activist organization is WWF? It is commonly assumed that it is a private advocacy organization funded by donations from the public: in other words, a “non-governmental Organization” or “NGO.” But closer inspection of WWF’s finances reveals that the “NGO” moniker is here — as indeed in so many cases — a misnomer. It would be more accurate to describe WWF rather as a “PGO”: a para-governmental organization. In fact, WWF receives massive funding from states. Moreover, it receives massive funding not from just any states, but from precisely that federation of states that has made combating supposed “global warming” into one of its highest policy priorities, if not indeed its highest priority — namely, the European Union.

According to European Commission data, WWF was awarded nearly €9 million in EU support in 2008 alone. In 2007, the figure was over €7.5 million.

But what is even more revealing is this:
 
Indeed, Debbie Framboise has turned up dozens of citations of WWF in the IPCC’s 2007 “Fourth Assessment Report,” on everything from “mudflows and avalanches” to the allegedly destructive effects of climate change on “marine fish and shellfish.” Richard North of the EUReferendum blog has uncovered yet another dodgy WWF-referenced claim on the alleged effects of climate change on the Amazonian forests.
That the IPCC’s assessment would rely so heavily on the claims of an activist organization raises obvious questions about its objectivity.
 
    I can't say it enough: This is why you can't trust anything that comes from the U.N. and especially the IPCC.
