On climate models, the case for living with uncertainties -  By Fred Pearce - 11/10/2010
As climate science advances, forecasts are likely to become less - not more - precise making it more difficult to convince the public of the reality of climate change.

I think I can predict right now the headlines that will follow publication of the next report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), due in 2013. “Climate scientists back off predicting rate of warming: ‘The more we know the less we can be sure of,’ says UN panel.”

That is almost bound to be the drift if two-time IPCC lead author Kevin Trenberth and others are right about what is happening to the new generation of climate models. And with public trust in climate science on the slide after the various scandals of the past year over emails and a mistaken forecast of Himalayan ice loss, it hardly seems likely scientists will be treated kindly.

Hi Folks!

HAPPY CLIMATE FOOLS DAY!

To commemorate the 10:10 eco-snuff movie, I would like to suggest that October 10 henceforth be celebrated worldwide as Climate Fools Day.

Let this day forever be a reminder of how the eco-fascists blew themselves up with their own hateful propaganda, marking the beginning of the end of the global warming scam.

Can our internet-savvy friends please help create a website--something along the lines of "climatefools.org"--with links to the 10:10 eco-snuff movie. The objective is to shame these green bullies and remind them that civilized people won't tolerate their unacceptable fascist behavior.

e.g. text on website page:
-----------------------------

-Ticking countdown- LEFT TO CLIMATE FOOLS DAY!

CLIMATE FOOLS DAY is a day of peace and sanity where the free peoples of the world celebrate:

- The end of eco-fascism
- Electricity and all its life-enriching benefits
- Oil and coal and all their life-enriching benefits
- Cows and all their tasty benefits
- All the good things about protecting and caring for our environment, minus the fraud that is carbon taxation, emissions trading, biofuels and other unproven renewable energy technologies

But No Pressure!

LESS WE FORGET

- 10:10 eco-snuff video

- Franny Armstrong's Half-assed Hahaha Apology

- 10:10's follow-up whiny "I just got a baby" apology

- Sony statement

- Kyocera statement

- Mind-boggling hypocritical statement by 350.org's Bill McKibben, condemning the 10:10 movie while calling those who question the science of global warming "deniers"

CLIMATE FOOLS DAY continued...

And maybe at the next Climate Fools Day, we could have a big event like the Burning Man Festival--where a giant UPSIDE DOWN MANN made out of watermelons is blown sky high at the push of a button. That would be a sight to behold.

Possible activities and merchandise:
- Hot air balloon rides
- Mike's Magic "Trick" show (will attempt to make Ken Cucinelli disappear)
- Hold your breath competition (sponsored by EPA)
- Sugababes and Sting in concert, featuring the hit singles "Push The Button" and "Every Breath You Take"
- Haunted Hothouse featuring demons like James Hansen, John Holdren, Al Gore, Osama bin Laden, etc.
- Franny Armstrong blow-up doll (for men who have the urge to screw watermelons)
- Phil Jones FOI Request Blocker and Auto-delete Email software
- Rajendra Pachauri voodoo science doll (comes with IPCC approved temperature spikes)
- Warm beer

IMHO this event would really make a killing. The sales of t-shirts and hockey sticks could really blow up.

PS
And look at what's happening in Germany--Where is the outcry and condemnation of the 10:10 eco-snuff movie by German leaders? Germany is so heavily invested in the carbon trading scam that they are now ignoring exactly the same type of behaviour that led to WWII. Will failure to act against the global warming scam lead to WWIII? How ironic would that be? A war brought on by the fraud of a noble peace prize winner.
