Climate Denial Crock of the Week

I dug up this old Simpsons video which I think is a pretty good analogy for Swifthack. It’s the one where Homer is accused of sexual harassment based on snippets of video pasted together by tabloid news program “Rock Bottom”:

I have been saying ad nauseum that trees are in irreversible decline. I can see it where I live, plain as day. And it is being reported elsewhere, all over the world.
Well, perhaps all the scientists involved in this controversy should consider that the reason an expected growth in the tree ring data diverge from the global temperature rise data is because toxic gases from mostly vehicular emissions are poisoning trees. The foliar damage to stomata by nitrous oxide, ozone, and peroxyacetyl nitrates from fossil fuels and lately, ethanol, are preventing vegetation from photosynthesizing and producing chlorophyll.
In effect, we are starving the biosphere. This is a crucial, immediate emergency.
We are on the verge of losing every tree and all their nuts and fruits and habitat for birds and mammals dependent upon them for food and shelter.
Will people not wake up until it is way, way too late? When you have scientists frantically trying to preserve the DNA of fast vanishing corals, it gives one pause.

Obviously, they’re not thinking. The most perplexing are those educated people who propose we save a few samples of animals or plants for the purpose of transplanting them to higher altitudes or higher latitudes. This has to be a completely lame understanding of evolution, and the complexities of interactions between species and every aspect of their environment, including but not limited to very specific weather patterns, soil and atmospheric composition, predators and sources of food or pollination.
Just another example of fundamental denial even among those who should know better, revealing utter desperation.
And mum is ALWAYS to blame, it’s on my refrigerator.
You’re such a killjoy. 🙂 [1]
Please thank Peter for his videos. I often link to them as people will probably be more inclined to watch them than read a science paper. [2]

I’ve been meaning to write an essay on the biochemical-ecological(-food security) consequences of climate change but since this is such a large issue, it’d have to be sort of introduction to the subject. And then there’s the question where to put it on display, since it’d not be proper science, full with refs. Not on my blog anyway, since I’d like it to be about scientific fringe and stories derived from it, and the temperature/moisture/nutrients effects on the plants are well documented in the agricultural/forestry science papers.

Perhaps a guest post on denial depot, where blog science rules?

I noticed this morning that Rush Limbaugh was still flogging “Climategate” in a recorded segment meant to be included with morning news summaries on the AM radio stations that carry his show, many of those for free btw. I guess that’s the only audience this nonsense has left, aside from a couple of heavily bribed Congressmen, some weatherman’s website, and Michelle Malkin’s omnidirectional rage.
Senator Inhofe, some nut on the internet, and the guy who fixed my furnace are still convinced it’s the greatest scandal of all time.
Oh, well. It’s been a fun couple of weeks. Guess we’ll have to wait for the next manufactured scandal.
[…] emails offered climate skeptics an opportunistic vehicle to peddle the idea of collusion among climate scientists to silence global warming […]
