Come to think of it the whole climate debate is just riddled with stuff I've seen on South Park.
Take Bacardi4206's comment above for example. That's what I call "Let's eat Eric Roberts". In case you're not familiar with the South Park ep I'm referencing, the situation was as follows. A group of South Park residents were snow bound overnight with a film crew. One of the actors in the crew was minor film star Eric Roberts. The South Park guys get the idea, because they're snowbound away from a food supply they may have to consider the ultimate horror - eating their own. The hours tick by, and they work that fear to a point they're considering which one of them to eat. Well nobody really cares about Eric Roberts any more, so..."Let's eat Eric Roberts". But again, they were only snowbound over night. There was no real danger. That's why it was funny.
You see that in the climate debate. There's no proof of actual danger, and CO2 has nothing to do with pollution, but let's consider the most radical solution to a possible problem we can think of, because maybe we should be scared. So we start burning our food supply as fuel, or making it impossible for the poor to be able to heat their homes, or
condemning the poor of Africa to disease, and starvation, but it doesn't really matter, because "Let's eat Eric Roberts".
The other one you see the most is the Officer Barbrady
"Nothing to see here. Move along people" thing. There are so many Officer Barbrady's in the climate debate. Arctic sea extent may be at a low for a few weeks in the last couple of Septembers, but the much larger Antartic sea ice has reached record highs. "Nothing to see here. Move along people". There's supposed to be what they call a 'global warming fingerprint' at the equator. It's kind of like a heat signature. The problem is it doesn't exist.
There's been no noticeable global warming in over a decade, and global temperatures have been dropping since 2002. No sea level rise for the last couple of years, nor ocean warming. "Nothing to see here people".
Then there's Manbearpig. So many Manbearpigs in the climate debate. These are things which don't actually exist, but if they claim them often enough, with sufficient hysteria, and describe them creatively, they hope to convince you they're there.
There's been no warming since 1998, but sometimes global warming alarmists produce these creative graphs which make warming appear which doesn't actually exist. A guy like IPCC head Rajendra Pauchauri will lecture on the current dramatic temperature rise even when he's previously admitted temperatures have been plateauing since 1998. And Al Gore, forget about. The Manbearpig thing is so true with Al Gore the South Park episode concerning it could be a documentary. I mentioned the global warming fingerprint. They can't find it with actual temperatures, so they produce this trickery with wind measurements which are supposed to be able to reproduce temperatures we should consider over conventional methods of measuring temperature such as satellites, or weather balloons. This wind speed prestidigitation produces Manbearpig...oops... I mean the global warming fingerprint.
Real world data shows no evidence of actual warming over the vast majority of Antartica, and most likely cooling. No problem. Activist, alarmist "scientists" find some false data, cherry pick a convenient date, apply some mathematical magic, and presto Antarctica is warming. Except...no it's not. It's a Manbearpig.

), I want to call arrogant, fart-sniffers, but they wouldn't get the reference, so it wouldn't be funny, so I don't.
