There are so many weirdos out there right now. The 26th mile marker, not far from the finish line in Boston, was devoted to the 26 people killed in the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre in December.

Since those killings, all the talk of gun control has led to some pretty extremist rhetoric. CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen suggested this could be the work of “right-wing extremists,

DHS has been keenly on the lookout for veterans, Republicans and people with Ron Paul bumper stickers – as potential terrorists. Obama’s friend Bill Ayers completely agrees with this assessment.

A retired nuclear physicist tinkering with his homemade electric fence ignited the wildfire that roared through half of Lory State Park, forcing hundreds from their homes west of Fort Collins.

The spark that started the 1,348-acre Galena Fire in March leapt from an 18-inch PVC pipe with two wires coming out. The device was one of many do-it-yourself projects keeping George Rinker occupied in retirement. Some had led to unintended results or scared neighbors, but nothing compared to this mistake.

We should definitely let brilliant government scientists do large scale tampering with the earth’s atmosphere.

Congress needs to reduce the capacity of spring snowstorms to less than 10 inches.

For the first time, experimental evidence has been produced conclusively showing that high temperatures and CO2 levels make animals small and sickly.

The NRA has proposed that security guards be put in schools – which would have lowered the Sandy Hook death count to zero (or worst case one shooter.)

Obama has proposed that magazine sizes be limited, which would have given six year olds two seconds to charge Adam Lanza after the first 15 were killed. Obama’s approach would have saved zero lives.

According to the press, Obama’s approach (save zero lives) is the moral high ground – and the NRA (save 29 lives) is evil.

The UK Met Office says that extreme cold this spring is caused by missing Arctic ice. Only they forgot to check whether or not the ice is actually missing.

It is great how climate scientists can develop a cause and effect relationship, skipping directly past the “cause” part.

97% of top government experts agree – There is no evidence of catastrophic climate change or global warming.

“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t“

Last summer’s central Great Plains drought was caused primarily by natural climate variability, not human-caused climate change, a team of federal scientists concluded in a report released Thursday

Chris argued that any such influence (CO2 and hurricanes) is expected to be small today, almost certainly undetectable, and that this view is not particularly controversial among tropical cyclone climatologists. He concluded that hurricanes should not be the “poster” representing a human influence on climate.

Ted Scambos, the lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado, said that even under the worst case scenario he thinks it would take at least 500 years for West Antarctica’s ice to melt.

Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released… and here is the chart to prove it

Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report

For centuries it was believed that the Emperor had no clothing, but new research indicates that this was based on the testimony of one small child, who had no background in textiles or even retail clothing sales. He also had no formal education in clothing and had never published anything about fashion in a peer reviewed journal.

Furthermore, it has been discovered that more than 97% of the experts at the time agreed that the emperor had clothing. We can therefor safely conclude that the emperor was well clothed, and that the child was not competent to discuss his wardrobe.

‘Unqualified’ scientists stand to gain from hysteria of global warming

The Soapbox by Professor William Gray in the April 4 Coloradoan points out correctly the news media’s eagerness to embrace uncritically the catastrophic global warming scenarios. The Coloradoan is certainly guilty of endorsing the claims of unqualified “scientists” in this regard.

It is useful to understand the motives of people who make these claims. Suppose someone comes along and says to you: “Boy, do you have a problem. If you don’t do something about it, you’ll suffer a terrible fate. But wait! I have a solution; and if you’ll just give me some money (i.e. support my research in this case), I’ll show you how to avoid catastrophe.” This approach has been used successfully by charlatans, unscrupulous religious evangelists and snake oil salesmen. In the case of global warming alarmists, it has been used successfully to get research grants, so in the end, it’s all about money.
