| Global warming's glorious ship of fools |
| 2014-01-10 |
| An excerpt: But alas, eating one’s shipmates and watching one’s extremities drop off one by one is not a part of today’s high-end eco-doom tourism. Instead, the ice-locked warmists uploaded chipper selfies to YouTube, as well as a self-composed New Year singalong of such hearty un-self-awareness that it enraged even such party-line climate alarmists as Andrew Revkin, the plonkingly earnest enviro-blogger of the New York Times. A mere six weeks ago, pumping out the usual boosterism, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that, had Captain Scott picked his team as carefully as Professor Chris Turney, he would have survived. Sadly, we’ll never know — although I’ll bet Captain Oates would have been doing his ‘I am going out. I may be some time’ line about eight bars into that New Year number. |

| #3 It will end when the grants dry up. The grants will dry up when Al Gore style "get rich by selling a huge lie" enrichment schemes stop working. That's already happening. Heard much about Dr. Heidi Cullen lately? |

| #2 I don't know about all of you but personally I'm enjoying the humor of the Ship of Fools story immensely. Seldom does one find such humor and irony in reality. Karma at its best. |

| #1 These Global Warming people become more desperate every passing day, and are locked into a group insanity, which will likely end, only when they are dead. For to face any alternative reality other than what they have concocked will lead to individual insanity from which there is no escape |
