15 Most Heinous Climate Villains

Earth one degree raise in tempature in 20 years
Mars one degree raise in tempature in 20 years
Wow those carbons are sailing through space to mars our prosperity and breathing is destroying the martian climate!!!Marxism is the only way to save the planet!How bout this if we colonize the solar system we can leave Earth as a park.

bunch of idiots and liars..i am especially irritated by the bow tie guy..and he keeps spreading his lies through CNN too..so much for "most trusted name in news"

looks like you steamed some clams putting this up Jan. Keep up the good work.

Solar is already being employed in African villages and villages in the Andes with success. People WANT solar.They want it because it is clean and it is safe.You mean to sit there and tell us that SOLAR POWER is part of a globalist agenda and coal and oil aren't? Sustainable agriculture which allows these very people to have control of their OWN FOOD is part of a globalist agenda and Monsanto isn't? Just how ignorant are you? It is the very status quo you want to maintain that has suffocated developing countries! Please, do us all a favor and actually read on this topic before embarrassing yourself any further.

I dont think people understand that the poeple pushing for this globalist agenda are going to starve millions of people in 3rd world countries due to the rising costs of energy, therefore raising the food prices and leaving millions hungry. All in the name of global warming

These global warming advocates have no regard for human life, and will pursue their destructive policies even if it means lowering the standard of living across the world.

Advocates of global warming claim the moral high ground, but they dont realize the impact these policies will have on developing nations.

"Those of us still denying the depressing facts are either tragically stupid or profoundly corrupt — or both"

that line should actually read.............Those still believing the lies are either tragically stupid or profoundly corrupt or both.

"Those of us still denying the depressing facts are either tragically stupid or profoundly corrupt — or both"

wow great way to start a debate.

Seems some are a bit upset by this (awww), but notice no one is refuting the ties these people have. Big tobacco LIED to us, and so are those backed by big oil, big coal, and hateful old politicians.

So climate change is about smearing people with dissenting views?

shouldnt you be focused on the enviornment?

Oh don't worry, I'm done. I think the information speaks for itself. Thanks.

Jan i wouldn't even waste your time trying to talk to these people. They made up their minds way before they looked at the information.

Really uncalled for thepatient. Everything an environmentalist wants will only serve to benefit you and your ilk in the long run. The only reason you're opposed to it is because the democrats advocated it before the republicans. If Ronald Reagan was a proponent of land conservation and fighting climate change you would be all about it.

Wow, what a motley crew.

11) Professor Roy Spencer, University of Alabama at Huntsville
Misdeeds: Professor Spencer is skeptical of widely accepted Paleoclimate data, like the kind provided by 800,000 year old ice cores, because he believes God created the earth and sculpted man out of clay approximately 6,000 years ago. Even you can do better, Alabama.

Corporate teats: Heartland Institute, George C. Marshall Institute, Republican Party, numerous lobbying firms and NASA. (Really? This idiot works at NASA? We’re fucking doomed.)

Most egregious lie: Spencer coauthored a roundly debunked scientific paper with fellow denier John Christie that “proved” the troposphere (the lowest part of the atmosphere) was cooling, despite satellite data to the contrary. Spencer apologized for the error, but the incident added to his legendary status among deniers.

Comeuppance: The magical harp that Jesus gives him during the Rapture only plays “Wango Tango.”

12) Richard Lindzen, MIT
Misdeeds: The professor’s predilection for citing bad data to try to refute widely accepted climate science is a black eye for the state of Massachusetts and research institutes everywhere. Lindzen thinks global warming is basically a “political” issue, and yet has not provided compelling scientific evidence for his contrarian views. When not writing comedy for his peers or the Wall Street Journal, Lindzen plays keynote speaker for any loony tune denial fest that will have him. Claims that water vapor is the main cause of global warming.

Corporate teats: Heartland Institute, Cato Institute and the Annapolis Center, a think tank funded by ExxonMobil.

Most egregious lie: “Global warming has been merely a device for implementing broader agendas.”

Comeuppance: Locked in a very hot sauna with a running automobile.

13) Bjørn Lomborg, Economist
Misdeeds: A serial liar, whose books have spawned a cottage industry for scientists who debunk them, Lomborg reluctantly admits that the earth is getting hotter, but insists that we’ll like the warmer weather. He has opinions about many scientific issues, but is trained only in economics and game theory. His love of numbers and arguments does not extend to facts.

Corporate teats: Denier conference speaking fees, book sales and Lord Monckton knows what else.

Most egregious lie: “The Kangerlussuaq glacier is inconveniently growing.” (Actually, this glacier lost 55 billion tons of ice from 2000 to 2006 alone, and loses several gigatons of ice annually.)

Comeuppance: Dropped into the Sahara to do penance among climate refugees. Lomborg’s Danish skin can’t take the sun, so he’s buried entirely in sand, save for a mouth hole. Incoherent shit streams continuously from the hole, so the natives assume it’s a latrine.

14) Roger Pielke Jr., Political Scientist
Misdeeds: It’s telling that Pielke thinks his poli sci degree entitles him to have an opinion about all aspects of climate science. Specifically, it’s telling us that he thinks we’re idiots. Pielke constantly parrots fallacious claims about ice, ocean temperature and warming rates from whacked out websites like wattsupwiththat.com. Roger has been dubbed the Most Debunked Science Writer in the Blogosphere by Climate Progress, yet still appears in the media as a contrarian “expert.”

Corporate teat: The Breakthrough Institute, whose founders, like Fox News, stress “balance.”

Most egregious lie: “In the ongoing battle between climate scientists and skeptics, there will be disproportionate carnage, because the climate scientists have so much more to lose.”

Comeuppance: Having been denied access to a newly-green Siberia by the Russian Army, vultures circle Pielke as he roams aimlessly in search of food and water. Hyenas, an invasive species from drought stricken Africa, track his every move in anticipation. Too weak to continue, he collapses. As the scavengers close in, Pielke finally realizes the irony of the above quote and cries, “I get it now!” The hyenas laugh and rip him to shreds.

15) Lord Christopher Monckton, Viscount of Brenchley
Misdeeds: Admired by Glenn Beck. His Lordship’s hysterical condescension and anger flashes are classic examples of dangerous Royal inbreeding. Can be found at all the big denier fests, including Blankenship’s nightmarish blasted mountaintop jamboree. Habitually confabulates his autobiography and fabricates scientific facts. Monckton recently called a gathering of activists in Copenhagen “Hitler Youth.”

Corporate teats: Heartland Institute, SPPI and Frontiers of Freedom—all recipients of oil money.

Most egregious lie: “The right response to the non-problem of global warming is to have the courage to do nothing.”

Comeuppance: Climate refugees storm his castle in 2030 and pillage everything but Monckton’s prized medieval pear of anguish, which he cleverly hides up his own ass. Unable to remove the excruciating device by himself, The Lord checks into the hospital. The doctors are brave enough to do nothing.

Excerpt 2:

6) Myron Ebell, Competitive Enterprise Institute
Misdeeds: As head of CEI, Myron admits using the money his organization solicited from the DDT, cigarette and coal industries to conduct intentionally biased research that suits their bullshit PR goals.

Corporate teats: Exxon Mobil, BP, Massey, Chevron and Southern.

Most egregious lie: “CO2 increases will lead to more plant growth and prosperity. Everyone will be more comfortable, including humans.”

Comeuppance: Forced to live in a Bedouin camp in the Arabian Desert to prepare for a warming world. The Chieftain assigns Ebell to be the wife of his favorite camel. The camel defiles him, kicks in his teeth, spits in his face and then seeks an annulment.

7) Patrick Michaels, Cato
Misdeeds: As a Senior Fellow at The Cato Institute and the Chief Editor of World Climate Report (an industry PR rag created by the evil coal trade group Western Fuels Association), Michaels is often touted as a climate expert in the mainstream media, though he has done no scientific research in 20 years. He lies about the wonders of “clean coal” so that the coal “families” can survive — you know, if black lung hasn’t killed them already.

Corporate teats: Cato, Western Fuels Association and the Kuwait Foundation for Advancement of Science.

Most egregious lie: “It has been known since 1872 that as we emit more and more carbon dioxide into our atmosphere, each increment results in less and less warming.” (He apparently forgot about feedback loops.)

Comeuppance: Admits on hidden camera that there is no such thing as “clean coal” when we secretly replace his maid’s cleaning supplies with coal; contracts black lung disease.

8) Sallie Baliunas, George C. Marshall Institute
Misdeeds: As an astrophysicist and ruthless GOP housewife lookalike, Baliunas lends both credibility and aesthetic reassurance to the denier movement. Claimed in a 2003 paper that “The Medieval Warming Period was hotter than today.” (Actually, it’s hotter today than it’s been for 400,000 years.) Her article in Climate Research was so riddled with errors, and so subverted the peer review process, the editor and half of the journal’s editorial board resigned. This led to celebrity status in the denier world, where if research is published that makes top scientists throw up, it must be accurate.

Corporate teats: George C. Marshall Institute, Exxon, Competitive Enterprise Institute, American Petroleum Institute and any far right group that needs a convention speaker who isn’t senile and doesn’t spit while talking.

Most egregious lie: “If scientists and researchers were coming out releasing reports that global warming has little to do with man, and more to do with just how the planet works, there wouldn’t be as much money to study it.”

Comeuppance: Made to “Wango Tango” with Ted Nugent for life.

9) Stephen McIntyre, Mathematician
Misdeeds: Despite having no training or field experience in climate science, McIntyre runs the blog ClimateAudit.org, whose mission is to use arcane statistical analyses to break the “hockey stick” reconstruction of historical climate patterns. He recently claimed victory over the Briffa tree ring data controversy, but failed to note that there are at least 15 studies that don’t need tree ring data to show the identical late 20th century hockey stick shape of rising temperatures and CO2 concentrations.

Corporate teats: McIntyre lives in tar sands besotted Alberta as a “semiretired minerals consultant,” and served as President of Northwest Exploration Co Ltd before they became CGX Energy, Inc. His funding sources are hidden, since the Alberta government is legally somewhere between Texas and Saudi Arabia, and transparency is not required.

Most egregious lie: “I constructed a variation on the CRU data set, removing the 12 selected cores and replacing them with the 34 cores from the Schweingruber Yamal sample….” The echo chamber goes wild, but neither they nor McIntyre himself have any idea what he’s talking about, since Climate Audit is all about masturbating to numbers. Even Briffa’s tree ring work was later vindicated by something McIntyre never considered: further scientific research.

Comeuppance: Sent to the Maldives, given cement shoes and used to mark the rising tide.

10) Marc Morano, Professional Douchebag
Misdeeds: Morano is possibly the most embarrassing wingnut in all of Denierdom—a dishonor earned as an Inhofe staffer and producer for the Rush Limbaugh Show. Reporting for Cybercast News Service, he was the first source of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth lies about John Kerry in 2004 and John Murtha in 2006. It’s no surprise that his blog (climatedepot.com) is primarily a vehicle for lies, smears and character assassination aimed at credible climate scientists.

Corporate teats: Oil and coal companies, usually laundered through think tanks such as Cato, CEI, etc.

Most egregious lie: “We can’t afford action against climate change. It would damage our economy.”

Comeuppance: Sent to terraform Mars—without sufficient tools, food or oxygen.

Janforgore. if you wanna be realistic and less hypocritical, you should probably reflect on the research (which i've assumed youve probably read, considering your radical obssession with climate change), about how much carbon a child puts out in their lifetime. now i could be wrong (which would be, in my case, pointing the finger too quickly, as you've been doing in so many of your purely biased articles and posts), but i recall reading somewhere that you have a few children. now instead of looking outwards with judgement and an arrogant and headstrong know-it-all attitude regarding climate change (which almost all of it is in one way or another derived from your hero whom i despise, Gore), you should reflect on your own life before waving fingers at everyone you think is a 'bastard'..... but thats just my opinion

Yep, like clockwork.

Another intelligent response from someone under a pseudonym. In case you can't read this is about those WILLFULLY LYING to the population about the current state of our world. They are those who are using it to assuage their own ideological and political biases and their own wallets, just like big tobacco did and MANY are on to them. This thread is not about those who have actually done good work in bringing reality and fact to light. This is about the REAL climate hoax.

Ted “Suck my machine gun, Obama” Nugent.

I think I will change my middle name to what Ted uses too. I like it.

they forgot Al Gore

The science is firm regardless of the desperate attempts to divert from it, and in THIS thread I will not be accomodating your baiting, lying, and BS on it. Your heroes are drenched in oil and corporate money. THEY ARE THE NWO lovers. They are FAKES and so are those who enable them.

Heretics.

Awesome to see a Buffalo Beast article on the front page!

Reality is too important to allow these paid shills to set the debate. They have spread their horse manure for far too long, and it stinks. It's a new year and a new day, and your fifteen minutes of fame are over.
