Global trouser warming, then cooling

Yesterday, via Confederate Yankee (no link from me arsehole), I learnt that the great global conspiracy to lie about Global Science had been discovered. Cornfeed Yank spewled on about how he had done 1st year geology plus been rained on a couple of times thus could understand what was going on.
Today I see that the Trouser wetting glee is in full swing and IT IS AN OUTRAGE!!11one. What is proven, you ask, sensibly wanting to see a fact or two?
What has been proven is that if one moves a weather station 125 metres up a hill side (roughly 300 British feet) the temperatures surrounding said station will be changed. if one wants to make the temperature readings for that station fit together one has to make a slight correction to the pre-move temperatures.
NIWA explains here
We can also see here at Hot Topic (linky lurve from me, it's so unfair) that NZCSC are the plonkers trying to prove that they are dorks. Case closed chaps, you win, you're dorks.
NZ CSC have no excuse, because the NZ CSC were told about this information at least three years ago, the last time they tried to make a fuss about “adjusted data”. In other words, Treadgold and whoever in the NZ CSC helped him with the data are being more than economical with the truth, they are lying through their teeth

And the reason is because the Copenhagen talk fest has got these guys nervous, though they need not be. Nothing's going to happen.

Sounds like our fabulous Sen. Inhofe...

Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) is America's leading climate skeptic, which would place him high in the running for leading climate skeptic worldwide, and he plans to attend the UN climate summit in Copenhagen in December with a climate "truth squad" to present the global-warming-is-a-farce side of things.

Yes Inhofe is a gem, isn't he.

God I hate these people. I think we should send all these assholes to be used as sandbags in Tuvalu.

Coprolite cabochon.

Sadly, they would be equally valueless as sandbags, as their soft puffy flesh quickly rotted away and allowed the rising waters unfettered access.

Once again, standing athwart history and screaming at science should not yield the kind of rewards it seems to here...

Damnit, I was hoping to move into my hut & start chasing PETA-freed chickens around the now-unused freeways by next summer.

For which we can thanks Exxon, etc.

The closest parallel I can remember is tobacco industry funded scientists claiming there was no link between smoking and lung cancer.

can b traced all the way back to the CHurch forcing Galileo to recant.

"Still, It moves"

If exxon could waterboard (maybe they would use oil?) climate scientists, and maybe Al Gore just because he's fat, they would. Same mindset, and at times I suspect it is the same people.

James Hansen isn't bothering to travel there, but he's doing other venues.

Smut, do you know of the Ben Backus fellow mentioned in the post?

125 metres up a hill side (roughly 300 British feet)

Conversion factor FAIL.

I probably should know Backus, but I don't. ** ENVY **

Of course, not all of us are as familiar with rough British feet as Smut Clyde

Or Hardrada!

I sleep soundly in my bed because rough British feet stand ready in the night. Though I always trip over them when I get up at 4 a.m. for a pee, and there is cursing.

"Hardrada" would get a LOL, except Jennifer has used up our entire quota for the week.
