It's a consensus, I tells ya!

It comes as no surprise that Albert the Hutt is still making up numbers:

Not content with having invented the internet, the great Climate Science communicator Al Gore appears to have developed still more miraculous skills of late: the ability to turn 17,000 into 8.6 million – just like that.

The figures refer to the number of "views" for Gore's special "24 Hours Of ManBearPig" which this column helped celebrate the other day. Gore claims that as many as 8.6 million flocked to his thrilling festival of climate fear; but a nasty cruel man called Charles the Moderator at Watts Up With That? has "done the math" and reckons the figure is probably more like 17,000. And that, he believes, is a generous estimate.

So whom are we to trust? An evil climate denying website run by evil climate deniers? Or a loving family man who has selflessly made it his mission to travel the world acquiring as large a carbon footprint as possible in order to spread the word that we should all drastically reduce our carbon footprints?


Poor Gorebot. His annual income from AGW alarmism is dropping like a rock, as actual facts begin stepping into the places previously occupied by nagging, windmilling, condescension and 'consensus.' He has to do something drastic, and since pulling unverified numbers out of his ass is one of his specialties... well, he figured he may as well go for broke. Unfortunately for him, the hot air of global warming silliness just ain't what it used to be.

Ain't nobody interested in buying your pseudo-intellectual vomit anymore, Albert. But don't go away mad, as they say; just go away.

Human-caused Global Climate Change is still on the top of the list of natural disasters that will wipe out mankind on the various science channels' programs, well ahead of asteroids or earthquakes. I think I recal the estimate once before that Pinatubo released more CO2 and ash than all of mankind since the Industrial Revolution. Damned Republicans and the volcanoes they created mucking things up for the rest of us.
