Latest O2 Advert +++ Updated +++

So with Franny Armstrong's 10:10:10 day of eco terrorism fast approaching, public support for her lunacy is declining fast with a continued public backlash following the launch of her fascist 10:10 No Pressure video. Membership numbers are dwindling and her major sponsors have been quick to disassociate themselves from such a PR disaster. All except one, that is.


Sony have pulled out, Kyocera have pulled out but O2 proudly continue to support the Richard Curtis view of climate change denier extermination. Here's their latest advert .......



I've now cancelled my O2 mobile phone contract, stating that "I did not wish my business to be associated with a business that publicly supports the 10:10 No Pressure video and the fascist eco terrorists that made it."

What are you going to do?

No Pressure!

Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention that Royal Mail are re-launching their 10:10 postmarks. Send in a picture of yours and you could win a prize!

No. Seriously .......

Alarmist Headline of the Decade

The headline in question was written nearly 3 years ago and considering it's the most fucking ridiculous piece of global warming, alarmist, scaremongering bollocks that I've ever seen, I can't believe it didn't come to light a tad sooner:

Over 4.5 billion people could die from Global Warming related causes by 2012

It carries on to say "..... as planet Earth accelarates [sic] into a greed-driven horrific catastrophe"

What the fuck!

So let me get this right, there are 6.7 billion people in the World and 4.5 billion of them are going to die because we've had the odd barbecue summer or two (or not as the case may be). All those people are going to die within 5 years because they couldn't be fucked to drive a Prius* or switch their Sky+ box off standby?

The not-so-easily-shockable Anthony at WUWT
ain't too fucking impressed either.

Shit! I've just remembered that this story is 3 years old so now we only have 2 years left to pay all those billions of pounds of green taxes to our Governments because that's the only thing they say will save us.

Quick! Quick! Run the fuck around now!

Yeah right.


*I reckon more people have died just because they HAVE bought a Prius.
Take this example for instance ..... death by 13amp plug ;-)

Earthquakes Blamed On Global Warming


What's worse?
Bad science or gullible media?

Perhaps you missed this one?
I certainly did the first time around.

The story is from two years ago, but in the wake of Climategate and other recent revelations probably more relevant than ever. And it is important to be reminded of such stunning examples of idiocy, blindly reported by a perpetually pliant media:

It concerns the "research" of one "Dr." Tom Chalko. He claims that "global warming" is causing the frequency and intensity of earthquakes to increase at an alarming rate. His "findings" were reported uncritically, by amongst others, CBS news. One of the key pieces of evidence given is the following:

“NASA measurements from space confirm that Earth as a whole absorbs at least 0.85 Megawatt per square kilometer more energy from the Sun than it is able to radiate back to space. This 'thermal imbalance' means that heat generated in the planetary interior cannot escape and that the planetary interior must overheat.”

And the "NASA" source for this orginal claim? Why our old friend - climate alarmist and activist extraordinaire, James Hansen. Hansen's paper is only mildly less laughable than Chalko's, and if you can get past the first assumption packed paragraph, you will find he has failed to ask the same basic, first principles, kind of questions. Or more to the point - the uncritical media hacks that simply picked up the story and repeated it failed to do the same. It was apparently repeated also on Yahoo and MSNBC (links now, unfortunately, pulled). The story was killed with no official retraction. Yet the damage was done - the repetition of such things by the mainstream media gives them an air of credibility that lingers on in the popular psyche as can be seen with cases like Danny Glover on Haiti.

Both Chalko, and his "source", Hansen fail to ask why a positive energy balance on the earth in and of itself might be essential - and where that energy might go. If the Earth reflected back almost all the energy it received from the Sun, life as we know it on the planet would cease. Plants would have no energy to photosynthesise, winds would cease to blow, most organisms on the planet - reliant on an energy rich environment - would simply die. And that is before you consider how a teeny tiny increase in the Earth's surface temperature could possibly affect it's internal working.

Chalko has form though. He also thinks the Earth's core might explode as a result of global warming. Chalko draws his information from the USGS, but at the same time appears to have failed to read their FAQ, which alone debunks his entire thesis.

Alarmists at the time were crying that "denialists" might get hold of this and make them all look like idiots (mainly through the completely legitimate process of asking - so what other junk has been uncritically reported?) Indeed, one of the commenters at the linked blog says: "They'll point out that the story probably saw light because they attached "global warming" to it". Which is exactly the point. That is why it was reported and repeated uncritically. What other inchoate nonsense has been spewed out by these idiots?

But Chalko is just a lone nut right? And the journalists were just being lazy. This was surely just a one off example of credulous reporting. Those immersed more directly in science reporting wouldn't fall for such a thing, would they? Yep. Here's New Scientist joining in last year, this time reporting on an entire convention of scientists. You'll notice in the New Scientist article, we have the familiar alarmist hedge. Apparently both rising *and* lowering sea level can increase vulcanism. It's become well established now that not only does invoking "global warming" guarantee uncritical headlines, it also guarantees funding, especially if you can't provide any testable predictions...

Act On Co2 Emissions

The UK Government announced today that it will implement most of the recommendations of the recent report produced by the Climate Care Alliance entitled "Only Planet Hating Bastards Drink Fizzy Pop".

The report which was compiled by the Alliance’s scientific research unit based at Trumpington Primary School was unveiled at a star studded media event on the pacific paradise of Vanuatu. Thousands of concerned and interested climate warriors risked ever rising sea levels to be flown-in specially for the report's official publication.

The report highlights the dangers to the environment of the consumption of drinks containing large amounts of CO2. The report makes stark reading for fizzy drink manufacturers. They are accused of helping big oil hoodwink the public about the amount of CO2 they produce by hiding large amounts of it in fizzy pop.

The main thrust of the report focuses on the amounts of CO2 released into the atmosphere when fizzy pop containers are opened . The Climate Care Alliance are the first team of climate researchers to focus on this previously unexplored threat to human survival.

Using the latest climate modeling software available for the Nintendo DS the Alliance has emphatically proved beyond any shadow of a doubt that opening cans and bottles of fizzy pop releases huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere directly causing global warming, anthropogenic climate change, drought, famine, floods, avalanches and general gloom and despondency. The report further states that there is some evidence that fizzy pop may be responsible for earthquakes. The Alliance stresses that their findings in this area were not conclusive and needed further research which would require further government funding.

Many of the reports findings are cause for serious concern to mankind.

  1. Every time a bottle of Panda pop is opened an angel dies.
  2. For every 2 litre bottle of Tango opened an acre of rainforest disappears for EVER. The Earth knows when it's been Tango'd.
  3. If everybody in China opened a fizzy pop container at the same time all the Himalayan glaciers would melt within days, and Holland would be completely inundated by the North Sea within35 minutes.
  4. The Indonesian tsunami was caused by a large group of Australians carelessly opening bottles of pop during a barbecue on Bondai Beach. The Australian government has hotly refuted this claim because, in the words of the Australian culture minister, "This pommie bastard must be a real gallah if he thinks Aussies drink fizzy pop at barbys. Haven't ya heard of Chardonnay ya pommie puff?"
Speaking at the unveiling of the report the leader of the research team Tarquin Richbastardskid said “The science on this is settled, the increase in the production and consumption of fizzy pop correlates exactly with the increase in temperatures as shown by the world renowned Hockey Stick graph. People who continue to drink fizzy pop in today’s enlightened times are the same sort of people who bombed Dresden and nuked Nagasaki and they be treated accordingly.” Pressed to justify this statement he replied “Look our research proves that anyone who does not agree with us is a Nazi. My grandfather fought the Nazi’s from the cellar under his stately home in Berkshire and I vow here and now to follow his example”

The government has been quick to act on the report by bringing forward legislation which will make the production, sale and possession of fizzy pop a criminal offense punishable by a £250,000 fine, 5 years in prison and forfeiture of all personal assets. When questioned about the severity of the punishment Hilary Benn said “The evil planet killing bastard produce, push and use these ghastly so called "soft drink products" should be treated like the nazi drug pushing pimps they are.”

MPs will be exempt from the new legislation.

On a more serious note, and a somewhat encouraging one too, Joe Public dropped me a line to draw my attention to a submission by The Institute of Physics to the Parliamentary Science and Technology Committee.

It appears that this group of heavyweights are questioning the CRU UEA credibility:

"The Institute is concerned that, unless the disclosed (CRU) e-mails are proved to be forgeries or adaptations, worrying implications arise for the integrity of scientific research...." 


The CRU e-mails as published on the internet provide prima facie evidence of determined and co-ordinated refusals to comply with honourable scientific traditions and freedom of information law. The principle that scientists should be willing to expose their ideas and results to independent testing and replication by others, which requires the open exchange of data, procedures and materials, is vital. The lack of compliance has been confirmed by the findings of the Information Commissioner. This extends well beyond the CRU itself ...."



The full report can be found here and it makes very interesting reading. Isn't it strange that we don't seem to have heard anything about this in the MSM news recently.

Piss Boilers


The first piece of piss boiling news is an article in The Tampon by Sundial. What fucking planet is he from? He starts off by accusing the BBC of being "climate denier bias" (you fucking whaaaaaaat!) and then goes on to to say "climate change deniers are no different to 9/11 truthers".

Is it April the fucking first or is that twat deliberately trying to wind the fuck out out of me? He bastard well must be because he also tells us that ". . . it [the BBC] remains deeply institutional and right wing".

Right wing! Right fucking wing!

Fuck off!


Then there's the Norwich City Council Housing Chief who abused her position by moving into sheltered accommodation, paying just £47 a week in rent. Kristine Reeves, who was earning £62,000 a year at the time, was subsequently dismissed for gross misconduct.

Where's the boiling piss there then, I hear you ask.

Well, she launched an appeal for unfair dismissal (you fucking whaaaaaaat!) and her former employers have just settled out of court to the tune of £41,000 (whaaaaaat the fuck for?)!

Oh, so no full independent inquiry now.
Why the fuck's that then?

Everybody in Norwich happy that your council tax is being pissed into Kristine Reeves fucking handbag JUST BECAUSE she did something WRONG? I'm buggery bollocksy well not and I don't even live there!

Rather interestingly there are now no details of this settlement left on line and even a Daily Mail link has rather mysteriously fucking vanished. Unfortunately for Norwich City Council, one of my readers has emailed me a hardcopy of an article, from yesterday's Evening News, which contains all the info.

It's a bit fucking difficult to pull a newspaper after it's gone to print . . .
