On the Gorbal Worming Scam

The Topeka Examiner has a good'n posted on the ten reasons why Gorbal Worming is a fraud:

10. The oceans and Earth are cooling, not warming.

9. The polar ice caps are growing, not melting.

8. The oceans are not rising...even though they have for thousands of years (without cars or factories).

7. Hurricane activity is not increasing, but decreasing...to 30-year lows.

6. The Great Barrier Reef coral continues thriving, not dying.

5. The more people learn, the more they reject it.

4. Those infamous "hot spots" never materialized.

3. Warming and cooling patterns correspond to solar activity, not human activity.

2. There is no consensus.

1. Top believers have to bury data and silence dissent to make it look real.

Regarding item #1, it's been nearly fifty years since Thomas Kuhn published his ode to nihilism, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Climategate is just one piece of rotten fruit from a very corrupt tree.

Update: Doug Reich has more info on his Climategate roundup.

Surprise, surprise.

I heard a recording of James Carville on the Rush Libaugh show. Carville has a new phrase for people like us; THE POLUTION LOBBY!

I'll take it.

YEAH, I'M PRO-POLLUTION.

I want my children to grow up in a poisonous environment.

James Carville is a V!!! Just look at that hate filled mutant. His mother war raped by a grey.

Actually, we're the Liberty Lobby.

What is a grey and a "V".

V is a new show on ABC about an alien invasion that closely resembles the Obamatons. Greys are aliens that some claim have abducted them. These greys bear an uncanny resemblence to Carville.

I don't believe in these greys. However, if Carville keeps mutating....

Carville does look like some kind of mythic beast, whether it be alien or terrestrial.
