Who says that this reality is the best reality?

Y’all may have noticed that LTG reader and commenter EuroYank has recently graced these humble pages with pithy remarks and links to places where only the brave (or insane) dare to tread.  And no one supports the value of a diversity of opinion more than I.

So, it is in that spirit that I feel compelled to provide you a link to his blog.  Make sure you read this post.  It literally made me shake my head in wonder.  Satire at its finest?  Or access to better stuff than they sell in Amsterdam? 

Whatever the answer, the alternate universe he imagines is something to behold.  You can’t make this stuff up!  Er, well, he can apparently.  But you know what I mean.

Don’t miss it!

 

 

And the hits just keep on comin’

Man, I think I’m gonna need a scorecard to keep up with the hits the on UN’s IPCC report that purports to prove man-made climate change.

Let’s see, we have the emails showing that certain data sets were “tricked” to show temperature gains over time.

Then there was the fudged numbers from weather stations in New Zealand and other locations.

The it turned out that those melting glaciers in the Himalayas wouldn’t be gone by 2035 after all.

Next we learned that the increase in weather related property damage couldn’t be tied to AGW after all.

And now the Times of London is reporting this:

A STARTLING report by the United Nations climate watchdog that global warming might wipe out 40% of the Amazon rainforest was based on an unsubstantiated claim by green campaigners who had little scientific expertise.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in its 2007 benchmark report that even a slight change in rainfall could see swathes of the rainforest rapidly replaced by savanna grassland.

I’m just glad that AGW is “settled science”.  Otherwise, folks might begin to wonder what the hell is going on.
