“Climategate” 1

Aside: We need a new term for a political scandal to replace “gate.” It’s shopworn. How about “Great and Glorious Patriotic War for a Lie,” as in “climategreatandgloriouspatrioticwarforalie.”

Fact Check dot org takes a look at that email so-called scandal. Shorter version of the analysis: Any attempt to turn it into a scandal is a load of hooey.

But, then again, it’s been carried by our favorite load of hooey carriers from the beginning. Probably something to do with their fossil fuel stocks . . . .

    Somebody posted that the proper suffix would be -quiddick and gave the following distinction:

    -gate: a scandal involving a republican whose crimes can not be hidden from the diligent mainstream media that hounds him from office.
    -quiddick: a scandal involving a democrat which is conscientiously ignored by the mainstream media which praises him lavishly at each election for office which he holds until he dies.

    By the way- I’ve read lots and lots of those emails.
    Forget about ‘trick’ – there is no synonym for ‘hide’ that means anything other than hide.

    You might visit climateaudit.org for a dissection of the details on that.
    You can also visit  http://www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/longrecords/longrecords.html  and see the  long, continuous sea level records.

    The more you actually look, the more you find out.
    I always laugh at the guy with the sandwich board saying the world is about to end. I also tend to laugh at those who gather around him with glazed eyes.
    But I don’t really want to see 2% of GDP go down this green hole or have laws made by unelected foreigners that supercede national sovereignty.
    Whoever believes CO2 is a pollutant should demonstrate his sincerity, not by taking his personal jet to Copenhagen and riding a limo to the meeting where they gather to tell my family to give up meat. Instead they should stop breathing.
