Odd warmist claim: Watts Up With That "half-plagiarised" its name from an SNL skit that first aired three years after Watts Up With That was created

Ala & a satirical skewering of by a fun-loving physicist Russell, do next.

VVatts Up With That ?: VVivat !

Having lost his place as a TV weatherman, one Anthony Watts has for some years maintained an unrelated blog that has become a sort of stupor mundi, a haven of serial crackpottery where the thermodynamically challenged congregate in the service of commercial disinformation and political self-deceit.

Its name, half pun and half-plagiarised from SNL's least funny skit, has become a byword for petty censorship and sustained hypocrisy of Vice Presidential amperage.

This website aspires to its antithesis, a venue for the ventilation of the enormities perpetrated by bad climate blogs that have not yet sunk low enough to qualify as scientific comedy of manners.
