This isn't as sick as my previous blog post about the global warming lunatic asylum, but it's funnier:
"2013 is poised to have daily record lows outnumber daily record highs for the first time in 20 years. That’s a stark reversal from last year — the warmest year on record in the U.S. — when record daily highs dwarfed record lows by a staggering 4-to-1 ratio. It’s also a

You can't make it up XXXXII - Greenpeace activists compared to Warsaw Ghetto insurgents of 1943
|

|

"It is here that climate activists stand as inheritors of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising—not through some singular action, but as constant rebels against the ongoing Holocaust (literally, Great Fire) that continues to annihilate the world as we know it, as well as the possibility for the survival of humanity into the next generation."

I visited Bletchley Park, home of the WWII codebreakers, birthplace of computers, in 2012. My pictures of it are here.
I'd never looked through its website before though. It's not written from the point of view of strict historical accuracy.
Not only that, it contradicts itself:
"Nor were the Germans the only targets for Station X - by breaking Japanese ciphers, the Codebreakers were able to mo

You can't make it up XXXXI - Philippines typhoon deaths blamed on - guess what?

Thousands of Philippinas are dying in a massive typhoon, and the hacks blame it on climate change:
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/nov/08/typhoon-haiyan-rich-ignore-climate-change
By attributing the deaths to "climate change", the media are effectively saying nothing can be done. Even if they could emotionally blackmail the inhabitants of rich countries to halve their oil consumptio

A final farewell to Microsoft

02 nov 13 |
I just finished a six-month gig with a company which uses Microsoft Windows. I hadn't seen it for years, but it hasn't changed. It still crashes at regular intervals, showing a blue screen (see picture). It still slows down any hardware it runs on, making it almost unusable - "Intel giveth, and Microsoft taketh away". The PC I had to use at work sometimes took up to fifty minutes to get started in

You can't make it up XXXX - trust in science correlated with political opinion
|
|
|
17 oct 13 |
"Among American Conservatives, but not Liberals, trust in science has been declining since the 1970s" says a supporter of the global warming hypothesis. He's ignoring liberal opposition to Darwinism, which at one point resulted in a physical attack on professor Edward Wilson.

To be precise, Judith Curry defends the scientific method (you try to falsify your hypotheses), and Fox News gives her a platform to do so.

This all happened under Saint John F Kennedy.
