Part of Sodor and Man under the Lord of The Isles in times gone by, guess who the current Lord of the Isles is?

Gwen now you are being an eijit squared. A reversed hockey stick (normally kept out of view) is there ready for when the Sun works to rule and temperatures fall. Mann's brilliance will be re-revealed and the other part of his Nobel prize will be awarded by acclaim. I hope Josh has drafted a huge 'umble pie.

Now you are being an idiot. It does not matter which way up, or round a hockey stick is, it is still a Hockey Stick. Proof of the genius of Mann, in producing a Hockey Stick, and everybody else who has produced similar Hockey Sticks with equally dodgy data.

If Climate Scientists could only work out how to extract CO2, rather than Hockey Sticks, from complete fresh air, in a similar manner, and stick it in cylinders, they might have a useful purpose.

Tiny. I liked the hockey stick mirror frame, not so subtle - unless their varied orientations were intended.

I like that Josh has awarded Mann half a Nobel medallion. And it's back to front. Very subtle joke... or maybe not. Hee, hee.

There is a lot of evidence confirming Mann's deceit, but I don't think he was ever stupid enough to film himself. He is not that much of an idiot.

GolfCharlie. As has already been noted: Josh's Ajustocene is funnier.

Supertroll, fear not! Geology humour is alive and kicking, courtesy of Josh, and perennial favourite Michael Mann. Something to do with his monumental arrogance, and complete denial of having made a gross error of judgement based on corrupted sources of evidence.

The lunatic fringes seek to dominate everything, and just look like stupid idiots.

Welcome to the Narcisscene

Returning Humans to the Center of the Cosmos

By Mark Sagoff

"At a conference in Amsterdam in 2001, the International Geosphere–Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and affiliated scientific groups issued what its authors called “the historic Amsterdam Declaration on Earth System Science.” According to this historic declaration, “A new system of global environmental science is required.”1 Although the IGBP eventually closed in response to changes in the funding landscape, its most historic act was to propose the concept of the Anthropocene, a new geologic epoch that would emphasize and draw public attention to the degree to which humanity has altered the “Earth system.” Paul Crutzen, who then served as IGBP vice chair and had earlier won a Nobel Prize in atmospheric science, is credited (along with Eugene Stoermer) with introducing the concept of the Anthropocene and advocating its adoption by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), which is responsible for naming and dating geologic periods, eras, and epochs."

"In view of the glacial pace of geologic events and the time it takes for things to turn into rock or become encased in it, you might think there would be no hurry to name a new geologic epoch, especially because the current one, the Holocene, started only about 11,500 years ago. You would be wrong. In 2002, Crutzen published an article in Nature magazine, “Geology of Mankind,” which called on geologists “to assign the term ‘Anthropocene’ to the present, in many ways human-dominated, geological epoch, supplementing the Holocene — the warm period of the past 10–12 millennia” and the beginning of which roughly coincided with the advent of human agriculture.2The idea of the Anthropocene, which Earth system scientists initiated and advocated, landed like a meteor, setting off a stampede among academics. Nature followed with an editorial that urged that the Anthropocene be added to the geologic timescale. "
