If it’s Tuesday, it must be Belgium. If it’s Wednesday, it’s time for Barbara Boxer’s 19th million breakdown:
Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) blasted skeptics of climate science Wednesday, alleging they are “endangering humankind.”
“The message I have for climate deniers is this: you are endangering humankind,” Boxer said during a press conference in the Capitol. “It is time for climate deniers to face reality, because the body of evidence is overwhelming and the world’s leading scientists agree.”

How exactly does one become a “climate denier?” That would require living in a desiccated vacuum-filled world even more hermetically sealed than Boxer’s. But if those pro-choice consumer advocates do indeed wipe out “humankind,” grammatically-speaking at least, they’d certainly be doing the world a huge service, for reasons Theodore Dalrymple explores here.
In other news from the world of Goreball Worming (as Tim Blair would say), great catch by blogger Tom Nelson, as linked to by Anthony Watts:
“Tim, Chris, I hope you’re not right about the lack of warming lasting till about 2020″
Question: If warming really threatens to destroy human civilization, why was [Chris Jones of the Climatic Research Unit] hoping for warming?
And if the world was still warming in 2009, why did Jones refer to “lack of warming”?
To merge quotes by Glenn Reynolds and Donna Laframbois, I’ll believe there’s a crisis when people whose “Paycheque Depends on a Climate Crisis” start acting like there’s one.
Without taking more than 5 seconds to think about it, can Ms. Boxer even remotely explain the mechanism(s) behind potential atmospheric warming, or was it just something she heard the preacher say in church one day and is now repeating?
“The message I have for flat earth deniers is this: you are endangering humankind,” the Inquisition wrote in a flyer tacked to every public board in Christendom. “It is time for flat earth deniers to face reality, because the body of evidence is overwhelming and the world’s leading scientists agree.”
Plus ça change …
Weather is by definition chaos. Climate is by definition always changing, by virtue of the changing activity of/on the sun.
Maximim and minimum temperatures on earth range from a recorded maximum of 134 degrees fahrenheit (46.7 degrees Centigrate) in Death Valley California, and a maximum low temperature outside the Artic/Antartic Circles of -87 (that’s minus) Fahrenheit (-66 degrees Centigrate) recorded in Greenland.
From these recorded maximum/minimum temperatures, the numbers are crunched and the average of those max/min temps have shown variance of this average Global Mean Temperature to be at a variance of one-tenth (that’s .1) of a single ONE degree.
Still, the “climatologists” lied when they released these findings. They said the variance in global mean temperature was at a variance of .3 (that’s three tenths) of a single ONE degree over a period of decades, a markup of three hundred percent.
No system, especially complex ones, are ever at complete balance, iow’s there are variances, however slight, in any balanced system, and therefore a weather system on earth with a variance of but one tenth of one degree over a period of decades represents stability, that’s stability (as opposed to the crisis mongering) )!!CHAOS!!( by any reasonable standard.
There have been warming trends and cooling trends over decades and centuries, and all still are at a variance of that one tenth of a single ONE degree.
The earth’s climate is self regulating. Always has been.
So-called “Climate science”, “Global Warming”, “Climate Chaos” are doctrines and dogmas of a crackpot religion, complete with an inquisition to punish and purge all would be “climate deniers” and non-”believers” by the heavy hand of the state commissars. Barabara wants a promotion.
…it is the height of man’s ignorance of the facts and her conceit to falsely premise an argument that man, in his ant like relation to the planet, is capable of “upsetting” this self regulating stability, and an even more egregious fallacy to suggest that it is only supposedly “enlightened” senatorial whores such as Barbara Boxer who can set the balance “right” again.
Such is the “thinking”, or rather the lack of it, behind the believers in crackpot religions, crackpot religions that see government as the church of such a contrived, usurped god/state authority.
They can all kiss my black ass.
Ma’am Boxer, I present a question to you that others who “deny” your religion have asked with no good reply: 70% of the earth is covered by ocean. How have the high priests of the AGW cult gone about measuring the average temps there? How did they obtain the “historical data” from earlier periods from there? (Note: trees grow in Brooklyn but not in the Pacific.) How can you say the planet is warming when you don’t have reliable average temperature data from at least 70% of it? I’ll leave you now to return to your chanting to the climate god, Goracle.
