This week has been a PR disaster for the North Pole. No sooner had scientists shown that the Antarctic really had been warming up a bit, actually, probably due to climate change and everything, than it was proved that Emperor penguins are more screwed even than the...
Fat Polar Bears Are Killing The Polar Bears
Last July, we reported that Fat People Are Killing the Polar Bears. In November we reported that Fat Swedish Men Are Killing the Polar Bears. In April we reported that Fat Polar Bears are Killing the Penguins. In May we reported that Fat People are Killing the...
The Well Funded World Wide Fund for Fear
We reported earlier in the year how claims that a 'denial lobby' had influenced public opinion on climate change were totally at odds with reality. The UK's Royal Society, for example wrote an open letter to Exxon in 2006, accusing it of funding these sceptics. The...
Fat People are Killing the Polar Bears (Again)
Last year we mentioned Ian Roberts' theory, as reported in New Scientist, that fat people are responsible for more than their fair share of global warming, and, in order to get a snappy headline out of it, we tied it into another New Scientist article, which was...
Fat People are Killing the Butterflies
Steve Connor, science editor at the Independent newspaper warns us that Tropical insects rather than polar bears could be among the first species to become extinct as a result of global warming, a study has found. What does that even mean? Are the polar bears OK...
Fat Polar Bears Are Killing the Penguins
This is funny. Funnier is the outrage expressed by Grist readers, of whom Newscloud is funniest: If there is a hell, Inhofe belongs there The Grists need to watch out. And not only on 1 April. All those stuffy, old-fashioned churches want their congregations back....
Women Ultimately Responsible for Fat Swedish Men Killing the Polar Bears
Further to this and this, there's now this: One of Johnsson-Latham's main theories is that global warming is a gender issue because men pollute more because they work more, drive longer, take airplane trips, etc., whereas women pollute less because they are at home...
Al Qaeda Are Killing the Polar Bears
Obesity 'requires climate plan' is a perplexing headline from the BBC today. While we are only too aware that the fat people have to take more than their fair share of responsibility for the ravages of climate chaos, we couldn't help wondering what a 'climate plan'...
Fat Swedish Men are Killing the Polar Bears…
Another gem from the New Scientist, caught our eye - though even they don't seem to be taking this one too seriously. The fact that women travel less than men, measured in person-kilometres per car, plane, boat and motorcycle - means that women cause considerably...
Fat People are Killing the Polar Bears
Two recent gems from New Scientist magazine... First up, Climate Change Sceptics Criticise Polar Bear Science, a story about some bad scientists, funded by bad money, who have apparently published some bad science in what is presumably a bad science journal, for bad...
