Australian Demonstrates Backbone; Annan & Gore Two Has-Beens

John Howard should run for office in the USA. Along with Tony Blair, Howard demonstrates that he won't succumb to the International Left's Mighty Wurlitzer of specious science exclaiming that the Sky is Falling. Oops, that splat was Tony starting to fall for Lord Stern's new pronunciamento as another one bites the dust.

A recent Scientific American has the serial scam artist Jeffrey Sachs, whom my brother-in-law worked with at the IIDD at Harvard, claiming that anyone who isn't a climate scientist should not talk about the subject. A classic end-game for discussion-ended, except for the risible fact that Sachs is, of course, not a climate scientist himself. Indeed, this Jack-of-all-Trades has a resume that appears to make him the travelling snake-oil salesman, one of those "notables" or B-List celebrities who pop up like the Whacka-mole all over the place. Sachs saved Eastern Europe and Russia from themselves, and is now graduating to save the planet!

The disappearance of the Middle Age Warming Period is explained by the famous screed of Michael Mann, whose wrecking crew expunged the MAWP to the "memory hole," as Prof Deming in Oklahoma recalls, because it was an inconvenient fact. So all proponents of a warming period from 900AD-1300AD are airbrushed from the argument in order to form a "hockey stick." And we must believe this because a collective of wisemen, feverishly awaiting a cornucopia of grants from the UN and other spurious NGOs have decreed ex cathedra that the science is correct. Richard Feynmann called quacks like Michael Mann "cargo cult scientists," and you know you are on the right side of the argument when Kofi Annan and Inventor-of-the-Internet-&-Lockbox Al Gore inveigh against global warming skeptics. Kyoto is Rube Goldberg UN chicanery that even the signatories make no effort to enforce. And without China on board, it is irrelevant. But that doesn't stop the UN's worst-ever [except for Boutros B-G] SecGen from sounding even dumber than usual. And Al Gore has adopted yarmulkes, then earth-tones, and now a scientific gown to advance his has-been political career.

By the way, last night the History Channel had an hour-long presentation on how the thermohalene effect on the ocean currents will cause a new Ice Age very shortly. And these scientists attribute the Little Ice Age that succeeded the Middle Age Warming Period to sunspots that may still be causing global warming.

Why can't these guys get their stories straight!
