I'm not usually one for short posts, but I'm pretty much speechless so I will just link and let people react for themselves. Two quick facts.
(1) The top U.N. climate change official Yvo de Boer resigned today.
(2) The AP article covering the story makes no mention of any data or reference issues that the U.N. might have recently have experienced with respect to its numerous climate reports.
No mention of any climate scandals at all...

I'm shocked that it took this long. Perhaps
de boer has inside information on whats going to be 'discovered' next to kick the bottom out of AGW.

I guess he just "needed to spend more time with his family".

I never really thought I would be saying this but thank you Steve.
I haven't laughed out loud so hard in a very long time. Plato's Theory of Forms suggests that there exists things (Forms) that perfectly exemplify real world things. So while there are many different dogs in the world, the Form of dog represents what it truly means to be a dog.
Your comments here have often approached an ideal, but this latest one has achieved it. You have managed to achieve complete and perfect idiocy. That is no small feat.
I'm afraid after this there is really no where to go but down. You've contributed all that you can. Therefore I must say that I, for one, am done reading your comments.
May you be happy and healthy in all that you do in life.

Well said, Dan. Imagine this guys. Exxon, who can't keep a tanker from spilling gasoline, engineers a way to keep independent temperature readings to show no cooling since 95' (maybe using that weather girl from X-Men), uses mind control to get scientists to exchange e-mail about conspiring to hide temperature decline (Prof. Xavier), and gets Phil Jones to admit that climate change is a hoax (using that chameleon girl to change into Prof Jones' image).
What movie do you think our liberal friend has been watching?

Now if NASA would only go and can that JAMES HANSEN wacko and AL GORE would get laringitis and GREENPEACE were stranded on a snowy mountian it would be even better

I'm not surprised that Yvo de Boer resigned.
I expect more top level resignations.
After all, who'd want to defend their recent "accomplishments"?

Steve Green
"because there isn't a scandal - just loosely sourced out-of-context smears paid for by Exxon.
Gullible much?"
You tell them Stevie. I mean missing data, botched data, altered data, destroyed records, reports with data from a college kids thesis, Al Gore saying there wont be any ice at the North pole in 5 years. None of that stuff means anything.
Oh hey throw in that Bill Clinton didnt have sex with Monica either. That will show them.
