Give the police a break…let them spy without complaint.
If the people are going to become a rabble and terrorism is going to spread hard discipline will be needed lest civilisation falls.
You police can start with an attempt to ban that foul pornography, that creates so many sex criminals.
It has to go for the sake of the women and children.

You forgot the global warming hoax. Idiot.

    So is gay porn harmless or does Graeme just not care about men?

    And I don’t think calling Islam fat will help. Silly man.

    Yes, the police should decide exactly what is and is not legal. Then we could do away with all the politicians and be saved from becoming like those islamist police states.

    If you like police states why don’t you….oh never mind.

    Methinks Graeme started that as off as a ‘pome’ – another literary rant about the state of the world so beloved of the twatbasket denizens of HYS. Bit of iambic pentameter, couldn’t get the hang of it (come on Graeme, read it OUT LOUD! one TWO, one TWO!), chopped up the lines a bit, couldn’t find any rhymes (Allah? Law? h’mm, Allaw?), tried a bit of imagery with Islam as a woman (misogyny in there too; nice one Graeme, two birds etc), some fancy words (feral – he had to look it up): but in the end it was less vers libre and more vers merde. If I’m right – I’m still confused by the teleporting chameleons of Afghanistan.

    I’m confused now. See, I was totally against Google Street View because loads of people said it was a really good way of helping Muslim terrorists scout locations to do more terrorism in, but now I’m thinking it’s a great tool for our wonderful government and police officers to spy on us without complaint, especially if it catches someone doing some foul pornography.

    But then on the other hand, this is surely an example of 1984 returning 4 real, which I’m led to understand is not a good thing.

    Can someone tell me what to think please?

    Some security officers do that anyway. At my work somebody’s getting done for using the CCTV camera to watch a couple in their back garden shagging. For ten minutes.

    All of Graeme’s paranoias are about how the government should be telling us what to do more than it is currently.

    Since “catastrophic global warming” is very useful to help persuade us what a good thing it is that the government do more of this telling us what to do I am sure Graeme would not be so unpatriotic as to have any scepticism about that particular lie.

    Of course, as we are all told so often, there is a complete consensus among scientists on it, apart from the 31,000 petitioners, & the NIPCC, & those who resigned from the IPCC in disgust & …. the world’s biggest single scientific society http://www.climatedepot.com/a/2213/Climate-Revolt-Worlds-Largest-Science-Group-Startled-By-Outpouring-of-Scientists-Rejecting-ManMade-Climate-Fears-Clamor-for-Editor-to-Be-Removed

    Oh boy, that’s great! From the post about how NASA, not man, is melting the Arctic Ice (and having spent the last ten paragraphs explaining how it’s not melting at all, acksherlee):

    But worse we find out these satellites are using microwaves to measure ice! As an experiment I took a glass of ice and put it in a microwave oven. This of course proves nothing, but it does raise some questions. I figured that 30 seconds in the microwave oven would be at least equivalent to 30 years of satellite microwaving. Well my microwave didn’t tell me how thick the ice was (of course immune from Team Science I never thought it would), but I did observe the microwaves melting ice.

    Rigorous. I can’t think why anyone would disagree with the “blog scientists” they’re always so quick to agree with.

  47. on 31 Jul 2009 at 3:00 pm norman foster fanclub

    And we also learn that that the Oregon petition that Neil refers to might be setting the bar too high and excluding numerous highly qualified bloggers:

    From the Petition Website we learn that various people can sign:
    A Civil Engineer can sign because they are “trained primarily in the many engineering specialties required to maintain modern civilization and the prosperity required for all human actions, including environmental programs.”
    A Doctor can sign because they are “scientists trained in the functional and environmental requirements of human beings on the Earth.”
    A Web Designer can sign “Since the human-caused global warming hypothesis rests entirely upon mathematical computer projections and not upon experimental observations, these sciences [including computer science] are especially important in evaluating this hypothesis.”
    And yet the Petition Project has only 31000 signers after years of operation. In short the rules are too strict for signing.

    It is interesting that tv gardener Alan Titchmarsh, who is cited by Marc Morano of climate depot fame as a leading international scientist opposed to the AGW consensus, is not qualified to sign the Oregon Petition. It’s a scandal.

  48. on 31 Jul 2009 at 3:28 pm Kelvin

    After doing some reading I discovered that mobile phone use Microwaves too. As an experiment I put my mobile phone in the microwave for thirty seconds. This of course proves nothing, but it does raise some questions, such as “then why the hell would you write about it?” I figured that 30 seconds in the microwave would be at least equivalent to 30 million prayers. Well, my microwave didn’t ring (of course God probably left his phone on the sofa while he went for a poo) but I did observe that mt mobile phone melted and sparked at lot, which is odd for something emits lots of microwave radiation because you’d think it would be able to handle it. I am now turning to page 3 of my elementary science textbook, which is labelled “power and intensity.” I wonder what I will find?

    Hey Neil. Get back to your blog and publish my 2 comments. You know, the one that tells you how atrociously written your blog is, and the second pointing out the complete idiocy of your claim that funded science is inherently unreliable and amateur “science” is inherently more reliable.

  68. on 03 Aug 2009 at 4:07 pm ligne

    Neil, your blog is truly fascinating. especially this piece: http://a-place-to-stand.blogspot.com/2009/07/medieval-science.html

    of course, your point falls down because climate science is very strongly backed by the evidence. not exactly to standard model-levels, but a hell of a lot more than most of medicine, for instance. the consensus exists because the alternative hypotheses are not supported by empirical evidence. in the same way that a consensus exists that the earth is not flat, that the oceans are made of water and not coca cola, or that the moon is not a paper circle glued to the sky.

    incidentally, assigning probabilities to pieces of information *is* a key part of empirical research, whatever Haapala may think. it’s called “statistical analysis”, and it’s how you get from the “crapload of experimental results” stage to the “how well does(n’t) it match the hypothesis?” stage.

    gosh, this post was a bit serious. flange toss piss fart big hairy cock. there, that’s better.

  76. on 04 Aug 2009 at 1:49 pm Neil Craig

    Mous, for reasons you are clearly incapable of appreciating, I don’t publish something if it is purely rude. At the least some intelligence is required as well.

    ligne if global warming is proven “a hell of a lot more than most of medicine” I assume you will not be using any new fangled lotion to minimise that nasty case of sunburn you got yesterday in the record breaking heatwave that is “proven” to be on us. Personally I think the empirical evidence that the Earth is not catastrophically warmer, that sea levels have not yet flooded London, that malaria has not yet overwhelmed John O’ Groats & that Holland has not yet disappeared under the seas http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2004/feb/22/usnews.theobserver1 to be fairly convincing but you are entitled to disagree. Perhaps you should take an aspirin.

    Modesty requires me to admit the “truly fascinating” article on science wasn’t written by me but by an arguably even greater expert.

    Mr fanclub, if you had actually read the article you found (good research since I blogged about it day before yesterday) you would find that the quote you give wasn’t actually from me.

    You are quoting the alleged author of the warming alarmist hoax & therefore of the quote, quoting himself on his blog, quoting a newspaper, quoting Reuters, incorrectly quoting me as having originated the quote which actually was me quoting the hoax article which the alleged author clearly hadn’t read.

    I thank you for providing yet another level of misquotation to this – may I quote you.

    Arguably such hoaxes aren’t normally required by scientists whose findings are so much more trustworthy than that of brane surgeons.

  77. on 04 Aug 2009 at 1:57 pm pigfrottage

    That’s you told.

    Nothing to do with global temperature trends at all, but just observing the weather in the UK on individual days in August 2009 will prove that it’s all a big hoax by people who want to make us all poorer and less happy.

    Neil, genuine scientific scepticism cuts both ways. As you admit on your own blog, you swallowed the hoax hook, line and sinker. Anyone with a basic grasp of the concept of the carbon cycle would immediately spot problems with the claim that increased CO2 levels are down to emissions from ‘saprotrophic eubacteria’. Where was your scepticism?
    It just confirms what I have always thought. That you are ignorant of the most elementary scientific concepts required to understand AGW, and certainly are in not remotely qualified to provide a critique. You confusing weather and climate is further evidence of your ignorance. Like I said in the post you censored, you are simply another gibbering Internet idiot. In fact, you are special instance of the gibbering Internet idiot.

  81. on 04 Aug 2009 at 7:34 pm ligne

    can’t fault that logic. a 5-year-old pentagon report was wrong, so by mathematical deduction, you must be right. fuck you, scientists, you’re all wrong wrong WRONG! you should have saved all that time you wasted measuring temperatures and modelling hypotheses for something more useful.

    The UV here in New Zealand is so intense because we’ve been gang raping the ozone layer to flavour our own sweat and the temperatures have been increasing by mechanisms I don’t pretend to understand, but by mechanisms I trust other people to interpret for me. They also tell me it wasn’t always like this.

    These people are meteorologists, biologists, chemists, scientists. They invariably do not sell comics for a living and do not believe in conspiracies because they have better things to do.

    Neil, on the other hand, does sell comics, believes that there’s some kind of alternative advantage to be gained by lying about science, even though no one actually says what it is. Neil also lives in Scotland. He has only seen the sun once, on a trip to Carlisle. On that occasion he was stunned and blinded – so fascinated was he by the mystery of the great ball of fire in the sky, he could do nothing but stare.

    It’s really easy to deny global warming when you live on a hill at 55 degrees north and don’t go anywhere except on the internet. It can’t possibly have any relevance, so you can spread your fucknuggetry far and wide without fear of reality contradicting you.

    And fuck you if you live on a small island, or if you actually get to see the sun more than 3 times in your entire life. You can go fuck yourself. Neil has a position to defend and a lifestyle to uphold, even if that lifestyle involves flogging comics out of a run down ghetto shop and wanking into a sock three times a day with his 100w incandescent lightbulbs on twenty-four hours, because no-one will tell him what to do.

    Best just ignore the daft little cuntbubble. He won’t get to breed, so it’ll end with him. Hopefully he’ll lose another massive deposit if he decides to run for Parliament again, his internet will get cut off and you won’t even have to avoid the cunt.

    @alt-f4

    What you catastrophic global warmingists don’t understand is that it’s not evidence if it doesn’t support what Professor Craig thinks.

    Instead, you must “think deeply”, like Prof Craig claims to. Interesting that there’s no objective evidence of Prof Craig’s thinking being “deep”, eh. Perhaps, Prof Craig, your thinking isn’t “deep”, merely laboured.

  86. on 05 Aug 2009 at 11:11 am Neil Craig

    I note none of the idiots here have even hinted that ligne’s claim that catastrophic global warming is a hell of a lot more proven than modern medicine is bull.

    I also note that nobody has tried to produce any evidence that it is true apart from saying that New Zealand is so much warmer than Britain that it is not habitable by light skinned human beings. Right.

    So commenters here, when they have a headache, try a bit of do it yourself trepanning. This explains a lot.

    Since somebody hiding their name says “saprotrophic eubacteria’ is the most elementary scientific concept I would be interested in seeing a description of what it is – from memory not lifted from wiki. Surely everybody here is already au fait with the term.

    Oops sorry alt44 you have produced some evidence for worldwide catastrophic global warming. Some carefully chosen glaciers in Switzerland have receded. You are clearly not aware that in receding they have uncovered artefacts from the Middle Ages which proves the glaciers were further back then & that some places which were passes in Roman times are glaciers now. If only all those Romans hadn’t been driving Suvs they might not have drowned when the sea swept over Rome.

    Incidentally a Mr V. Majority, clearly from here, recently upbraided me for saying the Guardian was a government funded fakenewspaper & promised to produce the figures showing that it doesn’t get any more government advertising than similar circulation papers. This is difficult for anybody who has actually seen it to believe but I am willing to look at his promised evidence. I hope his failure to provide the evidence he promised is merely due to Mr Majority’s, or Violent to his friends, natural shyness & not some accident.

    I’d boycott the Times if I were you. Much more advertising by the govt in there. Especially if you take the TES into account.

    What makes you say he was from here? I mean, your blog’s open to the whole internet so there are plenty of channels through which people can arrive there. Popular sites (like SYB, for instance) get hundreds of backlinks a week as people read them, enjoy their content, and want to discuss it on their own blogs. We have a little widget on the control panel that tells us so. You’d have to have a virtually unread, undiscussably incoherent mess of a blog to be certain that all your visitors were coming from one source that was entirely dedicated to mocking you.

    the mechanism of global warming has been well understood for over a century now. understanding the theory requires little more than secondary-school maths. it can be verified experimentally using equipment found in any university in the country.

    by way of contrast, skim through a copy of the BNF (available from your local public library) and see how many of the drugs it contains are listed as being “mechanism unclear”, or “mechanism unknown”.

  96. on 06 Aug 2009 at 11:32 am Neil Craig

    Well the nearest anybody here can manage to evidence is Frottage’s link which doesn’t actually have any evidence merely further links to alleged evidence.

    The first link aserts that nothing that isn’t peer reviewed counts. The 2nd is from 2004 & is Michael Mann’s Hockey Stick graph. That graph has long been proven not merely wrong but fraudulent (Mann had ensured that whatever figures were put in out came the same graph).

    Stephen McIntyre showed this long ago & was denied peer reviewed publication until it was proven elsewhere beyond doubt. The irony should be appreciated.

    So no evidence just rudeness. To which I need not rise since all commenters here have made it clear they believe is self lobotomising themselves. To be fair I must admit that it must be easier to believe in all these “very strongly backed by the evidence .. a hell of a lot more than most of medicine” findings if you have lobotomised yourself & I have confidence in you all managing:

    1988 – I would like to draw three main conclusions. Number one, the earth is warmer in 1988 than at any time in the history of instrumental measurements. Number two, the global warming is now large enough that we can ascribe with a high degree of confidence a cause and effect relationship to the greenhouse effect. And number three, our computer climate simulations indicate that thegreenhouse effect is already large enough to begin to effect the probability of extreme events such as summer heat waves. – Jim Hansen, June 1988 testimony before Congress, see His later quote and His superior’s objection for context
    1989 -”On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but – which means that we must include all doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands and buts. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well. And like most people we’d like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climate change. To do that we need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination. That, of course, means getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This “double ethical bind” we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest. I hope that means being both.” – Stephen Schneider, lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Discover magazine, October 1989

    2003 – Emphasis on extreme scenarios may have been appropriate at one time, when the public and decision-makers were relatively unaware of the global warming issue, and energy sources such as “synfuels,” shale oil and tar sands were receiving strong consideration” – Jim Hansen, NASA Global Warming activist, Can we defuse The Global Warming Time Bomb?, 2003
    2006 – “I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.” — Al Gore, Grist magazine, May 2006
    Now: The global mean temperature has fallen for two years in a row, which is why you stopped hearing details about the actual global temperature, even while they carry on about taxing you to deal with it…how long before they start predicting an ice age?

  105. on 07 Aug 2009 at 12:05 pm Setle down class Professor Craig's here

    Pig F I’m not sure if you read the link you put up which so thoroughly convinced you. I only got to the first paragraph which said “expected global temperature increase caused by doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide levels is bounded by an upper limit of 1.76±0.27 degrees “. Now while I will admit I think anybody claiming certainty to those many decimal places is doing a variant on ligne’s tactic of calming absolute, absolute, absolute certainty, but if you look at history that is about the increase of the Medieval warm period, probably less than the Roman period & a significantly cooler than the Climate Optimum (9,000-5,000 BC), all looked back on as golden ages. No catastrophe then.

    Next line is even better “IPCC’s climate models, whose projections are shown to be unrealistically high. Even though global warming has become mostly an academic concern now that the climate has moved into a cooling phase”. Perhaps you might care to explain how this “proves” catastrophic warming?

    As regards the other quote the point being made is that though temperatures have fallen overall since 1998 they tend to go up, down or stay the same, as one would expect with random variations in a random trend, but that we have now had 2 years of clear decline.

    Still PF a much better try than the 3 idiots who said I must be wrong because they find reading difficult.

    Sorry, Neily boy, but from where in that, the entirety of my post, do I say, or even imply, that you were wrong?

    This seems to be fairly typical of your debating style: twisting facts, words and implications until they squeal in anguish simply so that you can convince yourself that you’ve scored a point. When done cleverly, that can be entertaining, but frankly, old boy, you’re not coming close.

    Incidentally, and for the avoidance of doubt, I did not intend to imply you were wrong. I merely intended to imply you were boring.

    though temperatures have fallen overall since 1998 they tend to go up, down or stay the same, as one would expect with random variations in a random trend, but that we have now had 2 years of clear decline.

    so there is a lot of fluctuation in the data, but you can still make sweeping statements about future climate based on 2 years data? do have any idea how fucking stupid your statement is?

    for that matter, why did you pick 1998 as your baseline? you do know that was one of the hottest years on record, don’t you? arguing that “since summer 2008, the winning time for the 100m has been going down. hence people are getting slower” makes about as much sense.

    you clearly have not the slightest clue what the fuck you are burbling about. either that or you’re being intentionally disingenuous. well, which is it, you ignorant spunkbubble?

    Yers ligne you stupid cow I do know that 1998 is “one of the hottest years on record” that is the point. What is claimed about warming is that it is WARMING. Thus, if what the BBC etc assert is in any way truthful, the “baseline” running through 1998 should not be a flat line but a rising one, or even a rising curve. The fact is that we have had a fall since then (which is why 1998 was warmer). The fact that we have had 2 years of significant fall merely puts the tin hat on it.

    It must be obvious to anybody who is not a self lobotomised domesticated animal, that all the statements I listed earlier cannot be true & thus that we have been lied over a very long time – the current warming scam being merely the most heavily propagandised scare story.
