Climategate a single issue,by no means.

The current climategate debacle has been going on for more years that I care to remember. As others have intimated, it is more about control then science.

If you have been around as long as me you will remember the scare in the 70's that we were all going to die from "Global cooling". The British public shrugged that off with the answer, "I'll just put another jumper On".

Then in the nineties it changed to "Global warming" with the IPCC political declaration that we were all doomed to be incinerated. The majority shrugged it off as "Oh goody, that will save on our energy bills."

In the mid 2000's, however, the message subtely changed to "Climate change". This was brought about by the fact that it was observed that in fact, the globe was cooling. How strange?

When you look at the figures it would appear that the whole debacle of this hysteria is controlled by only a few thousands of the population of the planet, numbering in the billions. Yes we have to take accord the research of scientists. But to take it on blind faith is akin to confirming it as a religion.

For more in depth analysis then the green snake in the grass will be better able to explain this new control over our lives.

Climategate to music

I know, I know. I shouldn't be so flippant. On the other hand, why not? It's my blog.

The most popular post as can be seen from my stats is this one. Phillip Pullman and the loss of Liberty

It really tries to explain why we have lost so much.

Are such things done on Albion’s shore?

The image of this nation that haunts me most powerfully is that of the sleeping giant Albion in William Blake’s prophetic books. Sleep, profound and inveterate slumber: that is the condition of Britain today.

We do not know what is happening to us. In the world outside, great events take place, great figures move and act, great matters unfold, and this nation of Albion murmurs and stirs while malevolent voices whisper in the darkness - the voices of the new laws that are silently strangling the old freedoms the nation still dreams it enjoys.

We are so fast asleep that we don’t know who we are any more. Are we English? Scottish? Welsh? British? More than one of them? One but not another? Are we a Christian nation - after all we have an Established Church - or are we something post-Christian? Are we a secular state? Are we a multifaith state? Are we anything we can all agree on and feel proud of?

Climategate. Harry_at_cru code analysed. The smoking Gun?

Regards to the Climategate scandal, it would now appear that the code used in the Harry_at_CRU file has been analysed and found to be wanting.

Christmas yet to come

A very excellent view of Christmas of the future if we're not carefull. Written by John Ward over at Anna Raccoon's blog.

Ivad Enuvodiss awoke to find a charcoal-grey sky enthusiastically pouring water onto a county receiving, but not collecting, December’s Monsoon assault. He made a mental note to put back the likely 2016 start-date of standpipes by a week or so, and then crept downstairs to organise his garbage.

Chilling but superb. Do go and read it.

Lord Monkton on Climategate

A very, very good article written by Lord Monkton of Brenchley, summarising the Climategate scandals. Well structured article with graphs to establish why the world is not warming as we have been led to believe.

This week, the world’s governing class – its classe politique – will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark, to discuss a treaty to inflict an unelected and tyrannical global government on us, with vast and unprecedented powers to control all once-free world markets and to tax and regulate the world’s wealthier nations for its own enrichment: in short, to bring freedom, democracy, and prosperity to an instant end worldwide, at the stroke of a pen, on the pretext of addressing what is now known to be the non-problem of manmade “global warming”.

It's a PDF file and can be found at this website:

CLIMATEGATE: CAUGHT GREEN-HANDED!

By the way, I don't see much in the MSM, apart from advertising the Copenhagen conference. They really have been caught napping by the Blogosphere.

Lab Rats at the Altar of Climate Change

I've just been looking through the documents hacked from the CRU at the University of East Anglia and would like to draw your attention to this PDF. It's a policy document setting out how to change our behaviour in respect to the climate change debate. Here are some snippets from it.

The Rules of the Game

Climate change must be ‘front of mind’ before persuasion works
Currently, telling the public to take notice of climate change is
as successful as selling tampons to men. People don’t realise
(or remember) that climate change relates to them.

Use both peripheral and central processing
Attracting direct attention to an issue can change attitudes, but
peripheral messages can be just as effective: a tabloid snapshot
of Gwyneth Paltrow at a bus stop can help change attitudes to
public transport.

Link climate change mitigation to positive
desires/aspirations
Traditional marketing associates products with the aspirations of
their target audience. Linking climate change mitigation to home
improvement, self-improvement, green spaces or national pride are
all worth investigating.

Use transmitters and social learning
People learn through social interaction, and some people are
better teachers and trendsetters than others. Targeting these
people will ensure that messages seem more trustworthy and are
transmitted more effectively.

And now they seek to enlist the help of Doctors

We need trusted organisations and individuals that the media can
call upon to explain the implications of climate change to the
UK public.

Now we scare the little girl to death with a bedtime story involving drowning bunnies.

Another classic marketing rule: changing behaviour by
disseminating information doesn’t always work, but emotions
and visuals usually do.

Let's have some "smart" meters thrown in, so we can wallow in our shame at destroying the Planet.

Make climate change a ‘home’ not ‘away’ issue
Climate change is a global issue, but we will feel its impact at home –
and we can act on it at home.

And finally, just keep repeating the lies over, and over, and over, and .................

Everyone must use a clear and consistent
explanation of climate change
The public knows that climate change is important, but is less clear
on exactly what it is and how it works.

You can find the article on this site. Fuckterra

It's down at the bottom and called New Rules, New Game

And if you want a complete breakdown of Climategate the fairy tale. Do read this, it's fascinating reading

Advertising AGW

Is it me or are global warming proponents become increasingly desperate? If the "Science is settled", why are we getting increasing numbers of expensive ads on the TV (I'm referring to Sky here) trying to make any case for it.

1) We had the bedtime story advert, purporting that all the Bunnies were going to meet a slow death by drowning.



2) Another stupid one that tells us to drive 5 miles less per week.

The Department for Transport has today launched an advertising campaign aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from car use.…

The TV advert highlights that by driving five miles less a week, any driver can help make a difference.

Oh yes, the DOT is full of climate change scientists.

3) The one that tries to tell us that it's all our fault for the planet dying.

4) and now the Times is getting in on the act.

They have a trailer that the oceans are turning into Acid. Give me strength.

Every green website is jumping on the bandwagon before it's too late.

I must lie down.
