"IPCC Official: 'Climate Policy Is Redistributing The World's Wealth'"

You don’t say! And here I thought they actually believed that exhalation / plant food is a pollutant.

Okay, not really. But I’m an asshole.

What’s your excuse?

  1. Mikey NTH says:

    Just a healthy skepticism, because no matter what the problem is, the solution always seems to be the same thing.

  2. Carin says:

    Self described “radical environmentalist” Joan Baez fell out of her treehouse.

    I find that amusing.

  3. Darleen says:

    Ah yes, getting the United States back to its small carbon footprint.

  4. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I don’t have an excuse. I just hate the planet.

  5. Ernst Schreiber says:

    How do we know she fell Carin? Maybe the tree got tired of her being clingy all the time and gave her a shove.

  6. Carin says:

    Ernst, if there is one thing I learned from The Happening, it’s that the trees are going to get their revenge.

    Or that M. Night Shamalangadingdog should just STOP, PLEASE DEAR GOD, making movies.

  7. Darleen says:

  8. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Heh. I have to tell my Dad about this. We’ve argued for years about this with me explaining just what the IPCC guy admits and my Dad pretending to believe it is about the earth. Good times.

  9. Blake says:

    Crap, first it’s outlaw, now it’s asshole.

    I need a new scorecard in order to keep up.

  10. Bob Reed says:

    That will change immediately if global emission rights are distributed. If this happens, on a per capita basis, then Africa will be the big winner, and huge amounts of money will flow there. This will have enormous implications for development policy. And it will raise the question if these countries can deal responsibly with so much money at all.

    RAAAAAAACIST!

    First of all, developed countries have basically expropriated the atmosphere of the world community. But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy.

    SOCIALIST!

    Because we have 11,000 gigatons of carbon in the coal reserves in the soil under our feet – and we must emit only 400 gigatons in the atmosphere if we want to keep the 2-degree target. 11 000 to 400 – there is no getting around the fact that most of the fossil reserves must remain in the soil.

    COALIST!

    Seriously though, what is this arrogant talk about maintaining a 2° target? I mean, these people think thay can regulate the circadian ryhthms of the Earth’s temperature like the Keyneians talk about regulating the cycles of the market.

    And they talk about it like it’s so settled, it’s matter of fact, making these asertions with the brazen confidence of a con man and counting on the fact that none of their underlying assumptions are questioned; and changing the subject of any such conversation that arises by insisting that one is a raving nutter unless the climate change notion is accepted as factual, a priori.

    All this such a short time after the connivance was exposed, for all the world to see. Really, it’s breathtaking arrogance.

    I’ve seen that movie already.

  14. Mike LaRoche says:

    If all libs would off themselves, America’s carbon footprint would be reduced.

  15. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – The attempts to dismantle the Industrialized world continue apace.

    OUTLAW INDUSTRY! ™

  16. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Does this guy seriously believe he’s just suddenly, on his own, discovered the true agenda of the AWG movement?

    Look, Bob, I can see you’re really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over. I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

  18. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Erm, AGW…..whatever….the environ nuts.

  19. Crawford says:

    Carin, there’s always “Cowboys and Aliens” for your movie going pleasure.

    Short movie: they just start singing Slim Whitman songs and it’s all over.

  20. Big Bang Hunter says:

    ….When I sleep will I dream Dave?

  21. Ernst Schreiber says:

    anthropogenic warming globalists strikes me as truth in advertising.

    Sure you’ll dream. You’ll dream of electric sheep.

  22. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Why don’t we just float a bill in Congress to extend the Trekkie conventions to year ’round, and give all the environmental fruitcakes a lifetime pass, so they’ll have something to do with their hands besides whacking off in front of a Monolith.

  23. LTC John says:

    Ottmar Edenhofer was appointed as joint chair of Working Group 3 at the Twenty-Ninth Session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in Geneva, Switzerland. The deputy director and chief economist of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and Professor of the Economics of Climate Change at the Berlin Institute of Technology will be co-chairing the Working Group “Mitigation of Climate Change” with Ramón Pichs Madruga from Cuba and Youba Sokona from Mali.

    “joint chair of Working Group 3 at the Twenty-Ninth Seesion of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change”?! Somewhere, Leonid Brezhnev is smiling.

  24. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Because stopping makes the Monolith angry?

  25. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Somewhere, Leonid Brezhnev is smiling.

    Yeah. But when the IPCG start’s reporting on it’s global cooling mitigation proposals, Eric Blair will have the last laugh.

  26. Bob Reed says:

    That’s a great film Ernst, and a pretty fair interpretation of HAL.

    The kind of pure BS that these folks lay down is just amazing to me, really. I mean, on the one hand they’re talking about preserving and respecting gaia, with a completely self-righteous air that the absolute moral authority of SCIENCE! protects them from criticism; while pretty much all of their oft cited “research” and “settled-science”, and poseurs-cum-scientists authors of that tripe have been exposed as conniving con-men.

    And despite being exposed, they’re so confident, have succeeded in fooling even themselves that everyine buys this shit, that they now freely let the mask slip and admit that it’s all really a redistribution scheme; that it’s about the fairness, gaia be damned…

    Kind like Obama regarding dividend and capital gains tax rates. They have to go up, regardless of the effect on the economy, because of the fairness

    Really though, you listen to this putz and even the great gaia lovers who decry man’s effect on the climate system are simulataneously talking out of the other side of their mouths about the viability of “geo-engineering”; better known in the space exploration community as terra-forming.

    Amazing. Influencing the earths climate is bad, unless, you know, we do it in the name of increasing the IPCC’s authority; when no one really knows whether it can or should be done at all.

    Time for a cocktail.

  27. Blake says:

    Ernst, as long as I dream of Sean Young and not Harrison Ford….

  28. McGehee says:

    What’s your excuse?

    The same as yours, I guess.

    I mean, I could run down a whole list of other possible excuses, but they really all boil down to just the one.

    (Boiled asshole? Ew.)

  29. mojo says:

    I’m a counter-revolutionary wrecker.

  30. Darleen says:

    (Boiled asshole? Ew.)

    not as ewwwy as bleached asshole.

  31. McGehee says:

    I’m a counter-revolutionary wrecker.

    Next time my truck breaks down on the interstate I’ll give you a call. Us counter-revolutionaries gotta stick together.

  32. Ernst Schreiber says:

    As long as it’s not unicorns, Blake. You start dreaming about unicorns and you’re liable to wake up with Edward James Olmos standing over you.

  33. Blake says:

    Darleen, I’m not sure which is more disturbing: bleached asshole or the person who said “You know what, bleach would work cosmetic wonders on an asshole.”

    Gah.

  34. Mikey NTH says:

    What’s worse is that someone thought they needed to do something cosmetic to their asshole.

    Talk about someone with way too much free time and way too much money…

  35. Blake says:

    I’m not as good as Lamont when it comes to this sort of thing, but, here goes:

    He: Hey, baby, let wander off into the bedroom and have some fun.
    She: Oh, baby, yes, lets.
    He(after clothes come off)Hey, baby, check this out (spreads cheeks wide)
    She: Oh wow, did you do that just for me?

  36. Jeff G. says:

    What’s worse is that someone thought they needed to do something cosmetic to their asshole.

    Maybe these are those proverbial “jobs Americans don’t want to do”…?

  37. Blake says:

    I could probably make an exception for Teri Hatcher.

  38. McGehee says:

    I’m pretty sure boiling would bleach ’em pretty good, but sewing ’em back on afterward would be tricky.

  39. JD says:

    Sounds like a job for Kos and Andrew Sullivan. And Bawney Fwank.

  40. Bordo says:

    Maybe these are those proverbial “jobs Americans don’t want to do”…?

    Actually, it’s a union gig. The guys closest to me are all members of the Whale Eye Spacklers Local 175.

    How I know that is none of anyone’s damn business.

  41. Dave in SoCal says:

    I can’t believe this. Don’t you know that while you’re all babbling and giggling about anal bleaching and other frivolous topics this planet has a fever? A FEVER! Earth is ill, it’s burning up and it’s fussing and crying while we’re sitting in the ER waiting room at 3am along with a couple of dozen illegal aliens and drunks and idiots who can’t afford health insurance but somehow managed to afford a shiny new ATV which they promptly wrecked ’cause they’re idiots and now they’re here waiting with the rest of us. We’re waiting what seems like forever just to see a friggin’ doctor and get some Tylenol with codeine and the TV in the corner is set to that damned home shopping network, and God, when are we going to get out of here…

    I’m sorry, where was I?

  42. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – And now we know how white corn was invented.

    “Clorox II gets everything whiter!”

  43. Big Bang Hunter says:

    “…..and God, when are we going to get out of here…”

    – I think that’s covered in the ObamaCare pamplet on page 3,892, paragraph 1.22.2.3.7, section b), article 4, under “waiting room rules for scum-sucking citizens”.

  44. Entropy says:

    Probably it started with porn stars.

    Cuz, y’know, they have hi-res cameras doing closeups on their anuses.

    And then you get canned or lose the lead role in Slut Wars: The Empire Likes Crack because Becky has a prettier anus than you and that is your livelyhood that skank is messing with so you have to do something.

  46. Spiny Norman says:

    Dave,

    I’m sorry, where was I?

    Channeling Al Gore in his manic phase, by the looks of things…

    o_O

    Then there’s the always-meglomaniacal Emperor Hugo blathering like a cut-rate Nikita Khrushchev:

    When he said the process in Copenhagen was “not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isn’t that the reality of our world, the world is really and imperial dictatorship…down with imperial dictatorships” he got a rousing round of applause.

    When he said there was a “silent and terrible ghost in the room” and that ghost was called capitalism, the applause was deafening.

    But then he wound up to his grand conclusion – 20 minutes after his 5 minute speaking time was supposed to have ended and after quoting everyone from Karl Marx to Jesus Christ – “our revolution seeks to help all people…socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell….let’s fight against capitalism and make it obey us.”

    He won a standing ovation.

    One wonders why Latin America’s most brazen imperial dictator’s head didn’t explode…

  47. Ernst Schreiber says:

    You’re all aware of the song that Rush Limbaugh’s global warming updates begin with, aren’t you?

  48. Richard Cranium says:

    Don’t you know that while you’re all babbling and giggling about anal bleaching and other frivolous topics this planet has a fever? A FEVER!

    Well, more cowbell then!

  49. Big Bang Hunter says:

    Attention K-Mart shoppers……Just in time for the holidays….Check out aisle 19 for the new “Rim-job Barbie”…comes complete with an Andrew Sullivan autographed model cattle probe, goalie mask and flog, five gallon tub of Astroglide, and a 1 year free subscription to Ass Care weekly, which includes a coupon for a complimentary bleach treatment…..gerbils, spats, and batteries sold separately….

  50. Mike LaRoche says:

    You’re all aware of the song that Rush Limbaugh’s global warming updates begin with, aren’t you?

    Isn’t it “Born Free”? Oh no, that’s the song for the animal rights update.

  51. Ernst Schreiber says:

    BBH, if it’s an Andrew Sullivan edition, why is it a Barbie and not a Ken?

  52. Dave in SoCal says:

    Well, more cowbell then!

    That immediately came to mind when I typed the word “fever”…

  53. Dave in SoCal says:

    BBH, if it’s an Andrew Sullivan edition, why is it a Barbie and not a Ken?

    It used to be a Ken doll, now it’s Post-Gender-Reassignment-Surgery Barbie.

  54. Mike LaRoche says:

    Post-Gender-Reassignment-Surgery Barbie

    aka Michelle Obama

  55. Ernst Schreiber says:

    So, what’s “milky-loads” doing with it then?

  56. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Don’t you mean Post-Interstellar Species Transmutation Barbie there, Mike?

  57. Mike LaRoche says:

    Yes, I forgot to acknowledge her Klingon heritage.

  58. ThomasD says:

    …must have missed the head start on happy hour…

  59. dicentra says:

    Speaking of One-World Gubmint, check out this Glenn Beck TV episode in which a rabbi shows how the world’s first One World Order attempt was the Tower of Babel.

    It’s all about bricks vs. stones, collectivism vs. individuality, and how the confounding of languages was motivated by mercy rather than wrath.

    It’s also a good arguement against those Christians & Jews who think that collectivism sounds all godly and stuff.

    And why Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd “Nimrod.”

  60. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Daffy Duck would be a shoe-in for Keynote speaker.

  61. Blake says:

    Dave in So Cal..I take anal bleaching just as seriously as global warming.

  62. Big Bang Hunter says:

  63. cranky-d says:

    I’m pretty sure the Tower of Babel can be blamed on Bush, somehow.

    Ah yes, getting the United States back to its small carbon footprint.

    Hey, you know when and where America’s carbon footprint was its smallest? The Antebellum South.
    That always trips them up. Mostly because the useful idiots think they’re the ones who’ll be sipping lemonade by the columns on the porch.
