Greenpeace hippies are going to jail, Al Gore gets to inspect the underside of a bus and the Dutch want to glow in the dark. All this explained and a hottie too. You’re welcome. Part One: Hippie of the Week Hippie of the week is Mark Hertsgaard. Hertsgaard is a man who believes his daughter will be very thirsty in the future and happens to have a book to sell, so he turned into Michael Moore lite and hijacked Senator Inhofe with daft questions about global warming. It’s not a fair fight, which is why the full 5 minutes is featured on Inhofe’s YouTube channel but only 2 minutes is on Hertsgaards. Even other warmists cringed at the lame name calling and gotcha videos, and you can see why for yourself: Part Two: Warmists & Scaremongers Al Gore and the UEA motley CRU were tossed under the bus by Berkeley prof Richard Muller: “There are the exaggerators, like Al Gore and Tom Friedman who tell you things that are not part of the consensus … (which) goes largely off of thermometer records.” Some scientists who fear that their results will be misinterpreted as proof that global warming is not urgent, such as in the case of Climategate, fall into a similar trap of exaggeration. When you’ve lost Berkeley, you’ve pretty much lost. Who will save the children? Not from global warming, but from lunatic parents who think the Earth is melting. Mark Hertsgaard uses his daughter as emo-ammo in his fight against ‘climate cranks’, now HuffAOLPo’s Richard Wiles is fretting about lying to his kids when he tells them everything will be alright. If Wiles had been a good warmist he would have avoided breeding altogether and presto – no problem. German warmists are alarmed, but more about waning support for the global warming hoax than actual global warming. Their answer is to study skeptics tactics, which is their first mistake. It’s not the marketing, it’s the product. Global warming was shown to be baloney thanks to the IPCC and Climategate, the Germans can polish the turd all they like, but it’s still a turd. Welcome to the great green life where light bulbs are dim, toilets are clogged and dishes won’t gleam. Oh noes, food prices are rising because of global warming. Ethanol has nothing to do with it – industry groups say so, therefore it must be true. The Lush empire boss wants to fund cops to stop rural crime, even as he funds eco-terrorists. NIMBY, much? Australian PM Gillard promised the nation last August that she’d never implement a carbon tax. Unfortunately there must have been a teleprompter malfunction because she forgot to finish that thought with ‘until July 1st 2012‘. Unless she lied, but that can’t be it. The University of Arizona warns of sea-level rise caused by global warming. Before investing in some AZ beach front property, consider the source’s credibility first. Good news, the ever impartial BBC equates climate skeptics with pedophiles, racism and homophobia. The lesser spotted alarmist Newt may be endangered, even extinct by 2012. Citibank went full scaremonger by hiring American Council on Renewable Energy head Michael Eckhart as leader for Citigroup’s environmental strategy desk. Odd goings-on at NASA GISS where an inconvenient graph became suddenly unreadable, before being restored when it was noticed by a skeptic blog. Joltin’ Joe Romm is shocked, shocked to see young CPAC attendees tossing eggs at images of Al Gore and Michael ‘Stick’ Mann, of whom Romm says: …two much-vindicated climate hawks whose only crime is trying to provide accurate information to the public and policymakers in an effort to preserve a livable climate for the next generation… Mann & Gore providers of accurate information. I’m waiting for the punchline. Oh noes, tipping points, last chances and global warming is an epidemic. Scandimonger Erik Rasmussen covers all the bases. Technically, global warming would be a pandemic, not an epidemic. Rasmussen can correct his error and up the stakes at the same time. Win! Skeptical Science vs. Popular Technology in a comment/post flame war about Google Scholar. It’s more entertaining than it sounds. No, really. Weepy Bill McKibben receives a swift kick to the nuts from Donna Laframboise. Let me get this straight. We’re supposed to pay attention to your views about global warming even though you have no scientific training whatsoever. Yet when someone who possesses both scientific training and science policy expertise wants to talk about these same issues, you imply that because he isn’t a hurricane, soil, or ice scientist he doesn’t deserve a platform. Donna then turns her attention to the broken, bleeding IPCC whom she has demolished over recent weeks, but Minx the Merciless knows no, err, mercy: …we’re left with the uneasy feeling that a full 13 years before the IPCC was even born its first chairman had already decided that fossil fuels didn’t merely affect the climate, but that the affect was so adverse their use would need to be curtailed. In California, high tides are proof of global warming, or something. The Sierra Club, fisked. In 20 days the 2011 Catlin Arctic Survey will land on the ice (if they can find any). How many days until we learn of the dramatic rescue of the 2011 Catlin Arctic Survey is uncertain. Hippies heading to jail is always a favorite and to make this one especially fun is the Greenpeace angst that breaking the law, climbing things that don’t belong to you and crashing events without proper credentials results in (gasp) consequences: Outrage and astonishment: those are the words that came to my mind when I learned of the trial. How can it be that in a democratic country, at the heart of Europe, citizens and NGOs are increasingly facing prosecution because they take an active role in society? How can we bear witness and expose environmental issues if our core values – nonviolent direct action, creative confrontation – are under threat? … And even if acquitted in this case, the prosecution of peaceful activists does potentially have serious consequences. Citizens who wish to speak out get scared away by the judicial aftermath of a peaceful action, and organisations like Greenpeace are criminalised and thrown on a pile together with terrorists. More popcorn, please. Oh noes, global warming may ‘re-route’ evolution. Add it to The List. I, for one, welcome our Delta Smelt overlords.

Sydney's hottest ever week. Australia's biggest ever cyclone. This is a land of seriously scary superlatives. 4:25 AM Feb 2nd
One week of hot weather at one location "proves" global warming theory while months of record cold at other places means nothing (or incredulously also "proves global warming.) You guys have to realize what a bunch of assclowns you are, right?
Don't have time right now. But Savage had a link to some huge snow storm that hit San Francisco back before cars were even invented. Back in 1880's I believe. The weather is unpredictable and can sometimes go to extremes in either direction. It is just the nature of weather. I wish there was global warming. Then it would open up vast new farm land to feed the people of the world. I believe we are actually still coming out of the ice age. Both polar caps are still covered in ice. But man made global warming is nonsense.
The weather is unpredictable and can sometimes go to extremes in either direction. It is just the nature of weather. Weather is not climate you morons.

Tell that to mcgowan above who is trying to claim one hot week in Sydney proves global warming.
