Ending? Not so long as Barack Obama is in office, and maybe not for a long time after that. Unfortunately, a lot of time will be needed to prove the projections are way too high.
There seems to be an overstatement in the history (bold mine):
Question: Likewise, did these 4 independent unpaid skeptical climate bloggers win the decisive battle of the whole Climate Wars ?
They quickly and efficiently released the thousands of leaked Climategate emails that shocked the world, by coordinating posts on their blogs and informed by computer experts on many continents.
I think that they meant to say publicized. I wouldn’t want the whole crew to be mistakenly arrested for something they didn’t do. Otherwise, what would I read for entertainment each morning? 😉
China, as a responsible big country must continue to act as the representative who acts in the interests of the Third World, and must expose the lies of America and the other countries who use carbon tax as a way to continue to [oppress] the peoples of the Third World, to look after the national interest, and sustain the advantages of development, and avoid carbon taxes like Japan’s “[factory agreement?]“, thus becoming chains constraining China’s future development.
#4, nope, the post is over the top wrt my involvement, however, I was hoping to irritate the climate guys who lurk rather than the regulars. It’s childish but hell, if I can’t have fun blogging, my wife will send me to work.
Roman. Remember Jeff wasn’t around (by his own admission) when the file popped up on TaV, so his whereabouts are un-verfied for the time of the release. As far as we know the UK cops have not followed up yet on this lead, they seem a little slow when it comes to figuring out if it was a hack or not.
I think that I may still have the phone number of the policeman who interviewed me. Maybe, I should give them this tip. Lemme see, where did I put that number…

Ain’t it awful when you can’t even get away with things you didn’t do? The only solution is to cultivate a devil-may-care anti-hero image, I think.
We have no proof that Jeff didn’t do it, lets look at what we do know:
1. Jeff goes away
2. somehow the emials get “liberated” from a CRU computer.
3. He returns after all hell breaks loose.
Just admit it Jeff you flew to the UK, snuck into Phil’s office after he left, then using mad engineer Hackorz Skillz compiled that list and sent it out. Then you flew back and acted all innocent. 🙂
Jeff did it – making the Climategate file public. As the files had been dropped at an “OPEN LETTER” (13.Nov.2009) from me, I visited the post frequently and downloaded the FOIA file soon after posting. But immediately after opening the folder I feared a trap, and closed the folder in no time. Next day I downloaded the folder on an old computer, but the documents had been “all Greek to me”. Fortunately not to Jeff!
I also opened the file, closed it and cleaned my hard disk. I thought it was fake and a setup. The first few emails I looked at confirmed suspicions, and I figured that meant they had to be fake. Am glad others went and confirmed it though.

It is impossible to reason people out of their religion. I’m agin the drug war myself in addition to seeing the error of the CO2 causes global warming crowd.
Funny thing is the left sees the futility of the drug war and the right sees the futility of the war on global warming. What do I expect under the circumstances? More of both. Professional courtesy if you will.
#24, If the damage intended by the AGW believers to industry and prosperity were of the same magnitude we would be in agreement. The damage caused by the jailing of drug users is very personal for some. America is terrifyingly draconian in its ruthless application of criminal law.
The consequences of the US war on drugs goes far beyond our borders. Right now, more people are dying in what’s verging on a civil war in Mexico than in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. I should really check that statement as it’s only hearsay to me. Prohibition creates organized crime whether it’s in prostitution, booze, tobacco, guns, illicit drugs or illegal immigration. Unfortunately, we still haven’t learned that lesson, which should have been driven home in the 1930’s.
Alcohol and crack or ice aren’t comparable. Civilizations have integrated and almost ritualized use of alcohol, and turned brewing and distilling etc. into art forms. The consequences of over-use and dosages are common knowledge.

How about slowly and accidentally.
You are just being modest…

If so, he deserves a Noble Prize, in parallel with IgNobles for Jones and Mann. >:|
And nobody knows where Boballab was either…
I say it was he who did it in the study, by the light of the candlestick.
No murders mysterious here. And Boballab doesn’t strike me as the Noble anti-hero type, whereas Jeff does.

If it had been my blog and all this had happened, I would have gone the whole nine yards and said

Would that be Jeff “Hancock” Id?
I fear we’re feeding the Id’s super-ego.

The Drug War is the CAGW of the Right.

None of that is true for the hard drugs.
