Global Warmers

I've been following the escaped email story from a bit more of a geek view.

All these "climate researchers" should either be in jail or permanent contestants on "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?"

The challenge for me is how to write this up so that it is entertaining to normal human beings.

The stolen emails not reported in the liberal media are from CRU. CRU is like the Mecca of Global Warming. Al Gore, the UN, everyone's nonsense basic came out of CRU.

CRU has a massive quantity of computer files full of numbers. These numbers may be temperatures, precipitation or even bowling scores. No one at CRU today is really sure. Are the numbers monthly, annual or league nights? Who knows? To process all this trash they want to call data, they need a trash compactor (or a suite of computer programs as they like to say at CRU.)

All the wonderful computer programs and computer models (as heard on TV) are yet another Scooby Mystery Special for the boys at CRU. But these people are scientists. They know things. Apparently, they've spent the last three years changing "bad" number and fixing "bugs" in the programs. To what end you ask?

CRU can't reproduce the results they have already published to justify global warming. CRU is spending all that grant money to make up those pretty little graphs they use to scare us to death.

If I wasn't such a cruel bastard, I could tell "Harry the programmer" why he'll never get the numbers and programs to work. The "trick" as the wise old men of CRU call it in their email is known as a graphic artist in the mundane world of us mere mortals.

P.S. In the general's classified report, he requested 60,000 troops. 40,000 was his minimum number.

P.P.S. Obama's speech: He started with a long-winded explanation of how we got into Afghanistan. How Bush screwed up and dragged us into Iraq. Then finished with his plan for trickling some more soldiers into Afghanistan, getting a lot of good men killed, disheartening the American public and pulling out with another "Vietnam victory."

The liberals come on TV and say how proud they are of Obama taking so much time to consider the military options. Obama has zero military knowledge. How could he consider anything intelligently?

Since the general's report is classified, no one can contradict what I'm about to say. And my name is not on the sign in sheet for the copy Congress has.

There are only two basic strategies available in Afghanistan, a) protect the civilians or b) chase down and kill bad guys. Option (b) by itself is not working. We kill bad guys but the Taliban takes control of villages behind us. Option (a) we have enough troops to protect the capital and some surrounding villages.

With another 40,000 troops, we could protect most of the country. With 60,000 more troops, we would have enough strength to protect and take the fight to the bad guys.
