Is that a picture of Pachauri accepting the Porn Book of the Year award? Are those the people in the background who will star in the movie version titled Climate Lust?

For such a small place NZ seems to have produced a number of bad actors in this farce. Of course we produced the worst of the worst. We love our Kiwi compadres and have faith that there are enough good folks to turn the tide. I get all hopeful when I read posts from every corner of world here. Real international cooperation for all the right reasons.

The "adjusted" graph looks like the one on the front page of CRU: http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/

Forgive me for putting this here, but it’s so funny and I don’t know if you’ve picked it up.

It seems that ‘The Hockey Stick’ is the new Global Pandemic.

New Zealand has one of its own, but don’t be afraid, scientists are looking into it.

“They thought the answers that NIWA had given us were good. We did, too, at first, before we checked them. When we complained and repeated our request for the adjustments, their supporters screamed loudly. They couldn’t understand why we didn’t believe NIWA. We were being unfair on them, they said. We already had the adjustments, we were just creating a nuisance. We weren’t proper scientists, they said, and we should stop interfering with NIWA’s proper duties. They added gratuitous insults and aimed personal invective at members of the Coalition. Everyone was upset.”

These are classic symptoms, and can be recognised in all those afflicted with this condition. Sufferers become abusive, forgetful – leading to lost records and strange delusions, they become numerically dysfunctional (often looking at small numbers and seeing big ones), mentioning FoI request is liable to send them into a rage and visual disturbances are not unknown, leading patients to view things upside down.

Please report any other people you find with these symptoms. Some people find their behaviour hilarious, but please, realise that this is a serious affliction requiring all our sympathy.

We can only hope there’s a cure.

You couldn’t make it up – or should I re-phrase that to ‘everybody’s making it up’.

(For those who can’t be bothered to read the whole story, a group of sceptical NZ scientists looked at the official climate figures published by their national climate body. It produced a graph showing no warming. However a second graph was shown which included some form of adjustment, and that evidenced global warming, but when the sceptics asked for the (method of) adjustments to be communicated, the fun started.)

Unusually for a country with so many unique species it seems that the scientific establishment show no signs of any separate evolutionary adaption.

You find one hockey stick – then lo and behold you get two. Global Warming is becoming a new comedy genre.

Pach is just following the lead of the world’s number one green wiener algore. His house in Nashville is a massive 15,000 square foot carbon spewing neo-classical volcano. Embarassed by local reporting on this he had a geothermal well drilled below the compound. Around here that means virtually hitting the core for big money. Which reminds me… we had a TV news story about some jackwad who had a huge solar array installed on his house to cut his carbon footprint. That’s nice. Not my money right? Wrong. The only way this pays for itself over a few decades is by selling power back to our public utility at artificially high rates mandated by law. To make things worse he refused to tell the reporter how much it all cost him. Nice.
