Copenhagen Cartoon: “Climate Chasers”

Watching what happened in Copenhagen, Demark, reminded me of that Merry Melodies cartoon, “Cheese Chasers,” where two mice no longer want to eat cheese and decide to end it all. So, they want a cat to eat them. But, when the mice force themselves into the cat’s mouth, the cat smells a rat (or two of them to be precise), and a sign showing what the cat is thinking is then displayed saying, “Something rotten in Denmark.” Seems this cartoon was not only funny but a bit prescient too.

A foreshadowing of hyper hypocrisy, a.k.a. the Climate Conference in Copenhagen a cartoon it should be. Participants flew so many private jets that not all could be kept at the airport and after dropping off their elite passengers had to fly elsewhere. One Limousine provider had 1400 vehicles deployed. This conference’s CO2 footprint was so large I actually felt the trapped heat even as the 2009 East coast blizzard passed by.

And Maybe, God was continuing his joke that wherever “Warm Mongers” meet, it snows. Obama was not only greeted by 4 inches of snow in Copenhagen, uncommon for that maritime climate, but also had to leave early because of a record setting snowfall in Washington.

In fact, Europe was gripped by paralyzing snow and cold. Germans experienced frigid temperatures of -27°F. Football (i.e. soccer) matches were canceled as far south as Italy. Thousands of Europeans were stranded including more than 2,000 passengers trapped in the “Chunnel,” some without anything to eat or drink. The undersea trains were hampered by subzero temperatures in Northern France. Even down under on the southern coast of Australia it snowed almost at the beginning of the Aussie summer.

Still, in a recent Fox News Sunday interview Congressman “Full of malarkey” Markey (D-MA) of “Crap and Tax” bill fame held a climate doomsday book written in 2007. Though ClimateGate proves that everything in it is false, Markey clutched it like it was a Bible. He then accused doubters of running a “tree ring circus.” Actually, that’s exactly what the hoaxers do creating headlines that scare from data that’s not totally there.

The latest example is the UN World Meteorological Organization announcement made conveniently at Copenhagen that 2009 will be the fifth hottest year on record even before the year is over. Oh, and 2010 is going to be even hotter. That year hasn’t even happened yet.

The warm mongering magicians have made the dramatic drop measured in 2007 disappear and like pulling a rabbit from a hat claim record warmth setting headlines that never quite get explained and are definitely not peer reviewed. One headline in particular made this year was that oceans temperatures were the hottest ever recorded.

Now in “Cheese Chasers” the mice won’t eat cheese, the cat doesn’t want to eat the mice, and the dog, after being asked by the cat to massacre him, tabulates it all out finally declares, “It just don’t add up.” Then, he proceeds to chase a dogcatcher.

Adding it up cyclonically speaking, hurricanes like warm water; hurricanes like favorable winds, but Atlantic storms, one in particular, Bill, got weaker instead of the forecasted strengthening. Obviously, something doesn’t smell quite right. Either hurricanes have changed how they swirl, or dogs suddenly love being caught by dogcatchers.

So, since hoaxers no longer use good science to make their assertions, new Nobel prizes should be created just for them. The first, the Nobel Prize in Prestidigitation (magic) should be awarded to Michael Mann and Phil Jones, two men who’ve done more to hide past climate change, exaggerate the current warming and make data just disappear especially when deniers want to review it.

“Don’t come any closer buddy with that freedom of information request. I swear; I’ll delete!”

The second new Nobel Prize could be for “Snake Oil Salesman” science and should be awarded to Al Gore who received the Peace Prize even though what he’s peddling has nothing to do with peace. Obviously, the committee couldn’t come up with anything better.

But, Gore should be recognized for pushing a worthless product, carbon credits, based on scare science into millions of dollars. Of course, nobody ever asks him especially in the sycophant media how he did it, which could help Gore give seminars on his get rich scheme.

“You too could be making millions on fear, and I, Al Gore, will show you how. Send money or else.”

No doubt, climate change alarmists and their government benefactors are getting desperate. The ClimateGate e-mails prove that there’s nothing they won’t do to preserve their myth. So, let Copenhagen’s epitaph be that it was their hoax’s last great gasp. Or maybe not, hoaxers just might start chasing the cooling claiming it only proves the certainty of their warming theory.
