Climate Change: The Musical
**Written by Doug Powers
It’s bad enough that our tax money is pumped into a bottomless pit of “climate change” crockery, but to have to pay extra to give the hoax “jazz hands” is even more maddening.
From the New York Times:
The National Science Foundation has awarded a $700,000 grant to the Civilians, a New York theater company, to finance the production of a show about climate change. “The Great Immensity,” with a book by Steven Cosson (“This Beautiful City”) and music and lyrics by Michael Friedman (“Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson”), tells the story of Polly, a photojournalist who disappears while working in the rain forests of Panama. The grant is a rare gift to an arts organization from the foundation, a federal agency that pays for science, engineering and mathematics research and education.
I’d seen the Carthage Community Theater’s musical production about the life of their most famous local resident, Phantom of the Chakra, but this sounds like an even bigger production (suggested titles: A Consensus of Cats; South Pacific Rising; How to Succeed in Scamming Without Really Trying; Hypocrite on the Roof; A Funny Thing Happened to My SUV Caravan on the Way to the Climate Change Forum; The Wizard of Ozone; Ed Begley Superstar; Annie Get Your Green Job and Seven Carbon Offsets for Seven Brothers).
Yeah, it’s a waste of tax dollars earmarked for science, but I guess it beats funding the important scientific pursuit of surfing porn — or maybe not.

I’m not much of an activist, but I think this is something we could stop.
The ranks of skeptics are growing, and they seem far more motivated to grass roots action than warmists.
Someone launch a website http://www.stoptheshow.org and a PR campaign against NSF.
Okay. They need to change their name to the National Junk-Science Foundation.
“Some Like It Hot” needs no updating. Way before it’s time.

Damned Yahoo. This link appeared on my page and then disappeared again. It’ll probably show up again in a couple of hours.
Maybe they can get Al Bore to play the role of God.
At least it’s over $100k cheaper than Giggle Stick hygiene.
Since the socialist scientific know-nothings think that what we do is pornographic and that what they do is for The Common Good(tm), they weren’t surfing porn; they exercising their right to choose.
Well, at least they’re outing one more government agency that can be cut without a second thought.
Just another organization to defund starting in January. Add it to the list. Who’s next?

Although it was only a play in a film (The Producers), it was comedy:

In DIM-o-crat circles, only Obama may be cast in that role, at least until the November elections…

If history repeats itself, once again, we will shortly see politicians and grant-hungry scientists proclaiming the end of the world due to global cooling. As long as there is money to be made in doomsday predictions, you’ll never see the end of them. Once warming money has dried up, they will change the tune, and the gullible will “fall in line.”

Yeah, I’ve run into a few of those. They’re so close you can’t really lampoon them.
In a (sort of) similar vein:
My kids are playing “Dead Rising II” on the Xbox. As soon as I saw the zombies walking around I thought, “Wow. A game about democrat voters.” Someone should write some downloadable content where the zombies scare everyone away from the polling place and cast votes for the dems.

Mr. Bear, I believe you have nailed it.

Hey!
If you don’t believe in Climate Change, Green activism, etc., then you are not under anhy pressure.
No pressure …
KABOOOOMMMM!!!
You’re splattered all over the place by the Enviro Nazis and their “Blow up the non compliant skeptics” brigade.
Warning!
Be careful not to let anyone know you don’t buy their pseudo religious, pseudo scientific Enviro nonsense. They might blow you up and justiy it by claiming they are doing so to save the planet from mean, uncoopreative useless eaters-parasites who pollute the earth, like you!
I had a free Rolling Stone mag in my hotel room and there was a story about global warming in there. The big glacier at the North Pole is melting at 10 times the speed predicted just a year ago. That means the glacier is moving even faster into the ocean and calving off huge chunks. Researchers in Antartica are finding water in their tents from the melting ice they are on. This could be bad, really bad.
Of course I saw the Nat-Geo story of an area between England and Europe that was once land and is now underwater. Lots of artifacts of the people who lived there. I guess the ocean rose. Who would have figured that could happen. That all happened before cars were invented. Doh!
The IPCC was mentioned a lot in the story. Seems they kinda control the info out there. Too bad they can’t use their research to find the truth and real science, not the pursuit of their environmental political agenda. They have been outed but are still bitterly clinging to their bogus science as their reputations hang in the balance. Maybe one day, they will learn how to save face while telling the truth. That or the perp walk.
Afraid not. Fossil fuels get blamed either way.
The entire federal government would be nice. Reduce the # of fed workers by 20%; decrease congressional pay by 20%, 2 term limits, spending freeze, and mandatory 5-10% reduction in federal budget over next 2 years; no sacred cows either. Even the defense budget can be cut if we stop protecting Japan, s korea and Europe.
For starters. Then after that we can really get going.
Just like 5,000 lawyers hooked to a giant log chain on the ocean bottom….. a good start!!!
The Greenies of Wrath.
or, the Gores of Wrath would have worked since his hoax was exposed, but then Tripper bailed on him…something about getting his Giggle Stick massaged.
Ya gotta love liberals. They are willing to kill to prove that natural selection is the way of the world, yet honestly believe they can legislate to prevent it.

It begins already. Possibly another ice age? No wonder they switched to “climate change”. No-one knows what is happening, which means more grant money and opportunities for power-hungry politicians.
“ManBearPig: Rise of the Lard Ass”
It’s all part of the (liberal) fantasy. Doesn’t have to make sense.
Man-made global warming is fake.

It’s time we got rid of all of these stupid government agencies that do absolutely nothing but burn our tax dollars.
I say we should return to civil war era federal government funding levels.
