MIT's Global Warming Forecast Technology

Moonbats at MIT have at last devised a relatively reliable method to predict just how cataclysmic our doom will be if we don't submit to sufficiently suffocating levels of taxation and bureaucratic control:

The Greenhouse Gamble: Ronald Prinn, director of MIT's Center for Global Change Science, and his group have revised their model that shows how much hotter the Earth's climate will get in this century without substantial policy change. Standing with the group's "roulette wheel" are, from left to right, Mort Webster, professor in the Engineering Systems Division; Adam Schlosser, principal research scientist at the Center for Global Change Science; Prinn, the TEPCO Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry; and Sergey Paltsev, principal research scientist, MIT Energy Initiative.

This appears to be on the level. No doubt playing footsy with greedy totalitarian bureaucrats provides these folks with lucrative grants at taxpayer expense.

In other enviroswindle news, tax-exempt National Geographic claims that complicit scientists can hear global warming as it happens. It still hasn't gotten any warmer since 1998, but evidently the climate crusaders can hear it anyway.

On a tip from Smoke TNT.

My fiancee, a PhD student focusing on Climatology, after seeing a feature on Global Warming abruptly turned around and asked me "You dont actually believe that nonsense do you?"
"Of course not!" I replied. "I am a firm supporter of the Great Altlantic conveyor belt theory!"

"Good!" she replied. "Not all Americans are REALLY that stupid then."

Nope. Just over half.

More rediculous and idiotic stunts by these wackos i mean just what makes them pull off such stupid stunts like this?

It's almost as if they know what they are doing is ridiculous, so they're just having fun with it. Shits and giggles in the name of an absurd hoax.

Whenever a "global warming" story pops up, I flash back to South Park's "911 Conspiracy" episode where one of the kids says to Kyle:
"It's a known fact that one in four Americans are retarded. ...... Look, there's four of us and YOU'RE retarded!"

1998 was a hot year. My husband and I spent a lovely afternoon picnicing in NJ in FEBRUARY to celebrate my pregnancy instead of the normal activity which is shoveling the driveway. By August of 1998 I was nine months pregnant and it was HOT here in the northeast. The heat made me physically ill all summer,I had to stop working in early August I was so sick. I remember once being up sick at 3am and walking outside to get some air and into 90+ degree heat and humidity!! Did I mention it was HOT, really HOT? Well that healthy boy was born at the end of August and now is nearly as tall as me and will be 11 this August. Everytime someone argues about global warming I just point at him and say it hasn't been as hot as it was the month he was born and they are speechless. Funny how many people don't realize how long ago 1998 was, if it was the hottest year on record it should be getting hotter now if the Global Warming Theory was correct and it's not. A living example on how long the experts have been wrong does tend to shut people up. Spinning a roulette wheel to predict the temp of the planet 10 years from now is as good a way as any I suppose since they haven't been able to get it right in my lifetime. I'll get a laugh when kid turns 21 and these same jokers are still predicting doomsday.

I think what will come of all this is disrespect and disbelief of the people for the scientific community.

Posted by: oldguy at May 28, 2009 7:53 AM

Apparently the irony of this was lost on them.

Its Not True Scentists Are Never Correct They Are Mostly Wrong To Be Quiet Clear. Sure Look What The Scientists Say In 2012 21st December It Says Anything Happens on That Day its Called "DoomsDay"
Im Only 13 And I Dont Think It Will Happen At All
