Flummery

Flummery: Meaningless and deceptive language.

I've been trying to explain to people for years the reality of the global temperature for the last 10 thousand years. Both atmosphere and ocean temperature histories are misrepresented by the climate change hucksters who have consistently ignored data that negates their claims while misrepresenting other data to support their biases. 

Lately they and the news media have glommed onto some data about ocean temperature history and come up with this chestnut:

In a reconstruction of Pacific Ocean temperatures in the last 10,000 years, researchers have found that its middle depths have warmed 15 times faster in the last 60 years than they did during apparent natural warming cycles in the previous 10,000.

Not So!

 As shown clearly in the graph that was a part of the documentation in the study discussed in these reports, the little red circle highlights the period from the mid 20th century to present that the frauds are using to justify their hysterical claims. When the interval is viewed in a closer perspective of six hundred years (1400-present) the slope is obviously less than several events in that period.

When you take a look at the larger 10 thousand year graph ... the scope and the precipitous rate of historical changes in ocean temperatures is even more apparent.

I short ... the article that is cited in various media and being cheered by the hysterics and climate fraudsters is being entirely distorted (lied about) and there is no justification at all in the data for any of the outrageous claims being made about "unprecedented" change.

Bad enough that "know nothing reporters" and media editors use this type of inflated nonsense to promote sales of their dreck to an uniformed and mostly uninterested public. The fact that these so called scientists are willing to do the same is a disgrace.

The fact that political leaders allow themselves to be influenced in policy or to politicize these matters  based on the flummery of activist frauds and pig ignorant news media is outrageous and unacceptable.

Does Anybody Really Think that AP Reporters Might be Stupid?

Well ..... Bob Parks does ...
From the AP ....

The assailant, Justin Collison, initially wasn’t charged but eventually was arrested after footage of the episode went viral on YouTube. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and received probation.

"...... Strangely omitted from that piece was the name of the man whose efforts led to the arrest of the one who committed the assault: George Zimmerman. "

Well as I've said before ... the MSM are as a group the stupidest people on the planet. But that does not remove wilful dishonesty from the table. Good God! Do we really have to go back over the catalogue of shit made up and lies propagated by these clowns?

Kyle Hightower just proves all over again that ...You CAN have stupid and dishonest all wrapped up in one package.

Earth Hour?

I love how the sort of people who jump on environmental bandwagons  are always so certain they are doing something really important.

Donna LaFramboise ...elaborates on the actual facts behind the "Earth Hour" charade:

".... Earth Hour is, instead, the brainchild of two large corporate entities – the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Fairfax Media Limited.
I’ve discussed the size and reach of the WWF previously. The short version is that it has offices in 30 countries and employs 5,000 people. In 2010, its international operating revenues amounted to almost 3/4 of a billion dollars."

How many times have you heard the same sort of  noisy pest at one moment lecturing about the evils of international conglomerates and big corporations and at the next praising the WWF and it's allies for "saving the world"?

Well ... it just goes to show that P.T. Barnum was underestimating the statistic when he admonished that there was "... a sucker born every minute!" These days they are not only being born but manufactured.
As uninformed types continue to buy into every scam that  comes along, the likes of the WWF and their associates continue to rake in the dough. They are very effective at orchestrating stunts like the "Earth Hour" and they are very effective at raking in money from the uninformed ... the misguided and the simply stupid. They are also VERY effective at using that money to support political activists and hacks that make it possible for them to continue the money raking.

Let it be clear ... There is no benefit to the world ....in any way shape or form ...  from these people enriching themselves. The World Wildlife Fund contributes nothing of any substance to the world.
Playing blindly into the stunts like "Earth Hour" benefits no one except those who manufactured and continue to promote the pointless exercise. In fact doing so simply demonstrates the gullibility, ignorance or simple stupidity of the participants.

My lights will continue to burn brightly.

"The first time in three decades". Times before that do not count, apparently. The inference that it was just as warm 30 years ago apparently escapes him

The Arctic Ocean will be partially ice-free this summer for the first time in three decades, which scientists say will have some positive impacts on the region.

Measurements show the arctic had the least sea ice coverage in July ever [Where "ever" is defined as "since 1979"] recorded, CNN reported Saturday.

“This is just part and parcel of the decline that we’ve seen in the overall ice extent because the Arctic is warming up,” said Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Contradictions, Omissions and Irony

Considering that the primary activity of their being in Libya was providing material to be used in cheerleading for the other side!.................

There was a story I caught on the radio this morning on the way to work where the New York Times talks about some of their field reporters gone missing in Libya.

What I clearly heard spoken was that the Times editorial management was asking the Libyan authorities to help locate the men. The on air report also clearly said that the Times "Hoped that the men were in the hands of the Libyan authorities."

After work I wanted to dig into this a little and here is what I found:

al Reuters

"We have talked with officials of the Libyan government in Tripoli, and they tell us they are attempting to ascertain the whereabouts of our journalists," Bill Keller, the executive editor of The New York Times, said in a statement.

On the story from ...

The Times

Who printed ... “We have talked with officials of the Libyan government in Tripoli, and they tell us they are attempting to ascertain the whereabouts of our journalists,” said Bill Keller, executive editor of The Times. “We are grateful to the Libyan government for their assurance that if our journalists were captured they would be released promptly and unharmed.”


Sometimes it's more important to know what was left out of a report ....

Now if I were one of those journos in Libya .... I'm pretty sure none of these statements would be very reassuring. For all intents and based on the track record of Libya and it's authorities they just might be better off NOT in the hands of those people.


As things stand ... I'm still stuck on the "Were hoping they're in the hands of the authorities..." thing ... considering the primary activity of their being in Libya!

With Any Luck At All

We'll see the end of this gargantuan waste of tax dollars ..... here in Canada too .....

While driving to work today I heard a bit of blurb on the US budget politics being played out and a proposal to cut funding to public broadcasting corp in the US..... as it turns out the liberal intelligentsia are all over it ......

Kate at SDA has a well placed juxtaposition of the convenient ... as in truth of the moment ... manner so typical of the privileged liberal.

On the one hand public broadcasting receives less than 10 % of its funding from the government (in the USA) ... on the other hand talking about cutting any amount of the 10% is tantamount to child abuse and the end of days for a hopey changey world.

Back in the land of people who actually have to work for a living .... so we can pay our taxes ... and end up subsidizing these little islands of sanctimonious liberal viewpoint ... some of us don't give a crap.
By and large we do not watch the public broadcasters because we do not care for the material they offer ... outside of a few decent concert series .... the bulk of the programming is just rehashed garbage from other sources that nobody would even know about if not for the desperate need for low cost material in the not for profit sphere.

So .... how many people really benefit from US public broadcasting?

I'd hazard to guess that it is a lot less than the 38million claimed by the NPR CEO....

But after all that's America ... and THIS is Canada ... where the CBC gets over a billion$ from the taxpayers every year to sustain a clique of liberal elites who produce nothing of value (unless you happen to be a member of the parasitic class yourself) and they insist on telling us all that this shit is actually sunshine.

And if only this were the end of it! The rest of the Canadian broadcast cabal get hundreds of millions as well ... as if CTV and the rest are not businesses that are supposed to be earning their fair share for the benefit of their shareholders but rather just PBS lite.

Unfortunately this sort of self propagating dependence on public funding permeates the entire broadcast print media. And do not get me started on arts production especially film in Canada.

For my money I'd like to see all these parasites probosces permanently removed from the public flesh. Cut then off 100% .... let them go out and earn their livings ... let them prove by doing for themselves that they deserve to survive.

But of course ... as with all liberals ... what has actually been a favor of largess by the public has become for them an entitlement.

AlQaeda is RACIST!

In an interview earlier today with the South African Broadcasting Corporation to air in a few hours, President Obama disparaged al Qaeda and affiliated groups' willingness to kill Africans in a manner that White House aides say was an argument that the terrorist groups are racist.

Of course .... only when speaking in Africa about the death of Africans ... otherwise ... I guess those 3500 or so Americans in New York .... had it coming..... eh BoBo?

Offered in response to ..... Lindsay Blackett who had this to say about his impresion of Canadian taxpayer funded production in general :

"I sit here as a government representative for film and television in the province of Alberta and I look at what we produce, and if we're honest with ourselves … I look at it and say, 'Why do I produce so much shit? Why do I fund so much crap?'"

What's Been Going On With Climate Fraud?

Well for one thing .... the culprits are busy setting up conferences and enquiries to cover their asses clear the air.

Enquiries staffed by ... coincidence .... their cronies and fellow travellers.


The Muir Russell Inquiry revealed itself to the world on Feb 11, 2010. Nothing good has been said about it since. At this press conference, the hapless Muir Russell looked into the camera and said that we should believe that they are independent because they “are independent”. Their website contained (and still contains) misrepresentations, primarily about Geoffrey Boulton. One panelist has already resigned.

Who is Boulton?

What is the IPCC?

And conferences populated with Helen Kellers OR Sgt's Schultz !

The MSM is Waking up to it.... Google News is trying to bury it....The NY Times won't talk about it.

CBC and CTV Globe Media are as clueless as ever.....
And those of us with an ounce of integrity and even half functioning BS detectors have been saying it from the START .... AGW is not proven science... the researchers who made the claims are liars and frauds.... there is NO scientific consensus .... the IPCC is a fraud.. the UN is a fraud... Al Gore is a fraud... the Nobel Panel is a FARCE ... and everyone who believed this bullshit is a sucker.

All the losers who were rabidly defending this zombie science are still losers .... with an extra helping of jackass.

And especially ... all those who were proposing and defending the big government promoters and their scams to screw us out of any possible economic success and freedom as individuals under the cover of this FRAUD... are now entirely exposed as frauds themselves, freedom hating socialists and criminals ... they are going to answer for it.

Paying For Monuments

When it comes to flim flam and flummery it's hard to find anyone more dedicated to the practice than Gary Doer.

Unless maybe you take a look at Gail Asper.............

Back in 2008 in regard to Doer's glib promise of over $280 million from Manitoba Crown Corporations ...... for the Benefit of Gail Asper .... I wrote:

"In politics it's a government that knows it's on the way out that spends every last dime they can and makes long term commitments that will impoverish incoming governments for the foreseeable future. Like other past NDP governments this is exactly what Doer is doing.
Boondoggles like immense cost overruns on Hydro Projects, the Floodway expansion overruns, the proposed West Side Hydro Bipole III power corridor and it's inherent waste and the unchecked pillaging of the bank accounts of crown corporations like Hydro and MPI."

You can read the whole thing HERE!

So what has changed since then?

Well, not much except that the Asper group has finally had to admit that there is no way they are going to cover their costs. Or that they even knew what the costs are going to be or will know for that matter. No problem says Gail Asper ..... we have "asks" she says.

That and willing politicians who play the roll of sucker on behalf of the public ... still preapared to keep dishing out YOUR money for THEIR friends.

Now, I believe that Izzy asper was a great business man and a great Manitoban.
And I think he deserves a memorial to his achievements.

His achievments however have NOT ONE THING to do with the"Holocaust" or human rights.

And there is no way that the people of this province owe him or his family millions of dollars to be funelled into a bottomless pit called "The Human Rights Museum" for the sake of HIS legacy.

And yet these parasites persist in abusing their influence in order to make sure that Manitoban Taxpayers and Hydro Customers and Autopac customers and MLC customers well be gouged at every oportunity to satisfy their personal whims.

Tell ya what Gail and Gary etal .... just cough up a few bucks out of your own purses and buy a nice plaque!

And try to keep your sticky fingers out of OUR pockets!

Reporting on the progress of the elections for National Grand Chief of the Assembly of FNs.

Shannon Montgomery, THE CANADIAN PRESS ..... Attempts to educate us :

The winner will become the public face of aboriginal negotiations with the federal government and will have to try to balance often-conflicting priorities of natives across the country, both on-and off-reserve.

He'll also have to decide whether to take the organization in a new direction as it struggles for relevance in far-flung communities still waiting for a share of wealth from traditional lands and resources that were never ceded or sold.

Another imminent issue is how to deal with an expected resurgence of the H1N1 virus expected this fall. The swine flu has hit some aboriginal communities particularly hard and challenges include how to get supplies and a vaccine to remote areas already struggling with overcrowding and a lack of running water.

Really!! Says who Shannon?

Truth Be Damned ....

At U of Albany ... it's cover your ass time.

Or as Freeborn John puts it, When push comes to research dollars it's like living Kafka at Albany !

For your average run of the mill Warmist acolyte these people are off the radar ... but in the so called 'Scientific Consensus' ... Wei-Chyung Wang is oft quoted and his "work" offered as evidence of conclusive warming trends in China.
Doug Keenan ... a respected mathematician ... studied the Wang data and found it questionable.
He then researched the data sources and methodology and found it ... obviously fraudulent.

He informed the U of Albany (where Wang works) of his concerns and followed up with a formal complaint.

The UofA in turn stalled and proceeded to break their own formal rules for handling such serious complaints. In the mean time ... Wang received over $7 million of research funding from federal agencies to continue his ... ahem... work.

Now it seems to me that we have a person first perpetrating a scientific fraud then obtaining federal funding by presumably fraudulent means then a state funded institution looking like they are trying to cover up the fraud.

Now Freeborn John sees this as sureal....

I wonder what would be the response of mssrs John and Keenan to our HRCs?

I also wonder how grad students under the Wang umbrella like this situation.

My question is: When someone covers and protects a fraud ..... does that not in turn make them a fraud as well? And in the USA is that not also a set of fellonies? Felonies that would not only result in jail time and big fines ... but also being permanently disqualified from receiving any further funds?

So BC is having an election and a referendum?

I hear they have a Proportional Voting scheme in mind for the folks out there.

Let me make one thing perfectly clear: Proportional Voting is for Banana Republics and European failures who want useless government or hope to extend the influence of losers to places where it has no business.

And even banana republics don't seem to care that much for it.
