O! the waters have stopped rising!
POZNAN, Poland – The UN global warming conference currently underway in Poland is about to face a serious challenge from over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe who are criticizing the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore. Set for release this week, a newly updated U.S. Senate Minority Report features the dissenting voices of over 650 international scientists, many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN. The report has added about 250 scientists (and growing) in 2008 to the over 400 scientists who spoke out in 2007. The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.
The U.S. Senate report is the latest evidence of the growing groundswell of scientific opposition rising to challenge the UN and Gore. Scientific meetings are now being dominated by a growing number of skeptical scientists. The prestigious International Geological Congress, dubbed the geologists’ equivalent of the Olympic Games, was held in Norway in August 2008 and prominently featured the voices and views of scientists skeptical of man-made global warming fears.

O! he made light work of it! (Or maybe it was teh inundation of teh groundswell)

There has always been a good sized band of hardy but quiet dissenting scientists whose work became samizdat at some point in the last decade. The ascension of AWG to near mythical levels of acceptance among the general public is a case study that will sit next to the section on Barry O!’s election in the big textbook of media flakery. However, there is an expiration date for all the doomful blathering about AGW in the same way there will be for all the hope-mongering foisted on us the last 2 years that will likely converge with the inevitable death of legacy media in one huge black hole of teh awesome!. “…truth is great and will prevail if left to herself; that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate…†(T. Jeffs)

It.is.on…
Bu-Bu-But…I thought the debate was over…Al said so, and he has a Nobel prize; just like Paul Krugman…
I for one welcome this wholeheartedly. This whole bunch of consensus pseudo-scientists made a faustian bargain with the AGW types. It got them a lot of status and publicity for a while, but now it’s time to pay the piper. Their credibility is completely ruined…
I for one would like to see all these sell-outs banned, not only from the scientific community, but from any academic pursuit-even teaching. As far as I’m concerned they should only be allowed to work at McDonalds; where they can be concerned with warming my french fries…

inevitable death of legacy media
You all saw that NPR is laying off 7% of its staff, right?
Maybe Teh Lightworker will send them a nice Christmas…er…non-holiday-specific card for all their support.

SBP, they like to think of it as redeployment. Mission accomplished, and all.

I’m slightly encouraged by the fact that several of their recent failures were shows aimed at young people and minorities.

All hype ends.
The crowd gets bored and runs off to the next show. And then the next. And then the next.
Sorry, Al. Barry stole your limelight. Barry – don’t get too used to center stage, another act is warming up as we speak.

Apropos of nothing, I see it snowed in Houston yesterday.

Watching CNN moments ago, wish I coulda’ screen cap’d it. They had a ‘Planet in Crisis’ logo hovering over the roof tops of New Orleans covered in snow.
Someone should have scribbled ‘Please send more warming’ on one of them.

Feh. Global warming was so 1990’s. The latest buzzword is “climate change”, much handier since the climate constantly changes.
