Bad Day for Favorite Liberal Causes (Corrected)

An earlier version of this posting contained a big mistake. Shame on those who read it for not yelling!

Amnesty International, that well-known right wing conspiracy organization just came up with disturbing news. According to AI, Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, took advantage of the chaos last summer during the war between it and Israel to assassinate:

a Americans;

b Palestinians belonging to the main rival of Hamas, Fatah;

c Zionist agents;

d Israelis.

Bastard Israelis! Another reason to boycott Israel: It causes nice Palestinians to become assassins!

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration just announced a light hurricane season. Not much is going to go on, it says.

Also: “Dr. Philip Lloyd, a South Africa-based physicist and climate researcher, examined ice core-based temperature data going back 8,000 years to gain perspective on the magnitude of global temperature changes over the 20th Century.” His conclusion is that the last hundred years of temperature rise are probably not caused by human activity. This guy is not just a denier like me. He used to belong to the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change.

By the way, I have been making the same kind of argument for years: If the Vikings on Greenland could eat beef in the year 1,000. the last century was not especially warm. If nothing happened, you don’t search for a cause for what did not happen. Duh!

This is all more or less anecdotal, of course. I don’t rightly know how much anecdotal evidence it takes to falsify a narrative. The Warmists – who use anecdotal evidence all the time – should tell us. I count on them.

Incidentally, here is an older essay on the absurdities of Warmists that deserves a warmover: “Climate Change and French Scientific Logic“
