Yes, this laureated and certified A-hole responding to the name of Al Gore, keeps on saying one thing and doing another, specially when big money is involved. For those who like to justify him because he is a "jolly environmentalist good fellow", think again about what you are aiding and abetting by turning an eye blind.

A-Holes of 2011 - First Semester Edition!
Well, we have undoubtedly a plump, juicy year full of certified, blue-ribbon A-Holes! So let's start with the festivities and an early countdown for the semester:
Arnold Schw
arzenegger: Arnoldo Suáreznegrete screwed it up the big time; he sired an illegitimate child and didn't fess it up immediatly to his wife, Maria Shriver. In the meanwhile, he continued his movie career and became governor of California. His tenure betrayed the same lack of integrity, leaving the Golden State in worse shape than he received it. His projects to revitalise his career went belly up with the uproar the scandal generated. Now a "Terminator 5" is put on hold, and a comic book super heroe with a "Family Values Man" background, that saves the planet in the guise of "The Governator" is completely abandoned. Way to go, Ahnold!
Lars Von Trier: a beloved artsy filmmaker in the exclusive Cannes clique, decides to promote his new flick "Melancholia" by declaring his admiration for Hitler and then gets expelled from the Festival by being declared persona non grata. I'm sure Von Trier must think at least something turned ok for him: he must be earning a nice entry on Metapedia!
Charlie Sheen: his transition from highest paid tv-actor to Trivia Pursuit material is running as smooth as expected. His "Violent Torpedo of Truth" One-Man-Show tour is in full decline and Chuck Lorre Productions hired a replacement for the Two and a Half Men Sitcom: Ashton Kutcher. Disgust disguised as good-luck wishes betrays the fact that the most viewed episode of the series will be the first featuring Ashton, even if the sitcom gets cancelled in the same season. #Winning Trifecta!
Dominique Strauss-Kahn: the epitome of the french nouveau ancien regime. A former communist turned socialist that likes to spend the night in US$ 3.000 a night hotel rooms. As head of the IMF, is the key holder of the world casino - normal rules do not apply to him. So the Great Seducer (no kidding, he was known that way) allegedly attempted to rape an african maid and then flee to France for cover, a la Roman Polanski. He must be facing the worst destiny he ever feared: a fair trial.
Masataka Shimizu: less known but not less deserving of this scorn-a-thon. The president of Tepco made through negligence and immoral cheapness the Fukushima Disaster possible. I do not recommend seppuku, but jail time could be an option for his evil deeds and not facing the music.
Newt Gringrich: the textbook case on how not to run for president of the United States. Chapter 1: Why attacking fellow GOPers alienates followers. Chapter 3: Why having a half-a-million dollars jewelry store unpaid bill is a nightmarish decision. Chapter 7: Why reversing oneself on early declarations qualifies you as the John Kerry of the right.
Michael Moore: I thought of him writing a book called "How to be a Socialist with Other People's Money while keeping an eye on yours", but the title is too long to be deemed "commercial". I'll repeat it: He's a stupid white man. Can't wait so see him teaming up with Olbermann. Greatest comedy couple ever!
Keith Olbermann/Al Gore: to complete the losers all-stars team at Current TV, Al Gore hired and offered ownership of a worthless tv network to someone fired from a failed cable news outlet with a extremely bad rep with his co-workers. This is the guy that wants to save us from global warming an this is the way he does business.

A-Holes of the Year
In no particular order of appeareance, Dr. sipmac will post a well-deserved scorn-a-thon of a few of the undisputed a-holes of this year. Without further ado:
Charlie Sheen: Anybody with a brain knows that this guy is playing himself in the critically-acclaimed, top-ten rated sitcom Two and a Half Men. The question is: When Charlie Harper will beat the hell out of Chels? Jeez, this is the guy that had every opportunity in his life to make ammends for every wrong decision made. Alcoholism, gambling, whoremongering were enough to sabotage his film career. Do you think "Hot Shots" was another step forward? Nope. Funny as it might be, he was already scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Then he replaces Marty McFly in Spin City and landed a little later into one of the most-watched sitcoms of the decade. Hey bad boy, do you think that kind of luck is never going to run out? Wanna risk it by beating your wife, you moron? Maybe you should ask--
Roman Polanski: Yeah, that dude. Oh, I managed to escape from the nazis and then Charlie Manson and his merry family, so I can do whatever I want and still play the victim, that includes raping a drunken 13 year old girl. Besides, I have a lot of powerful and beautiful friends to back me up whenever I want. Oops! Being caught and have to face extradition charges in Switzerland? No problemo, my friend. I can post bail and fight it in my cozy chateau! Now I can finish my movie at home! I told you, I can do whatever I want, not like that--
Phil Jones: The poster boy for scientific method and objectivity for this dying 2009. Between his lifetime accomplishments we can admire his destruction of "climate change" raw data, the redefinition of the peer review process, the persecution of dissenters and the burning of a good 20 million dollars in grants given to him and his pals, just to "hide the decline". A true deserving canditate of the ig-nobel prize! Speaking of the devil--
Al Gore: Making millions with the green scare is not enough, huh? You have to twist facts of your Academy Award prized docummentary, and then keep on having a straight face when Climategate hits you cold in the face and you have to cancel your highly expected appearance in Copenhagen. In the meanwhile, your book is still for sale, your monthly carbon footprint at home is STILL bigger than the average US home in a year, and you are getting fat. But you won the Nobel Prize! You have to be a schmuck like--
Sandra Bernhard/David Letterman: You have to have a special sense of comedy to wish a fellow woman to be raped when she enters Manhattan! You must be an upstanding comedian when you wish that woman's daughter to be "knocked up" by a baseball player! Just like you did with your female subordinates! Who said a politician's family is "off limits"? Sandra, who's morally reprehensible now? "Not me", says--
Tiger "Cheetah" Woods: A name has never been so revealing. In a few words, Mr. Woods carefully crafted a wholesome image for years. That made him make gazillions of dollars. From the very start, a few people knew he was a women-chaser. So was Babe Ruth. But he never try to hide who he was (and at least the press helped him). But Tiger... hey, it wasn't just golf, you were the spokesperson for Gillette, and they gave you a pile of money for that. You were asking for trouble, man. "¡You racist!", calls Dr. sipmac--
Barack Obama: Well in that case, I let one of your early supporters, Mr. David Michael Green, say it all in this link. A little taste of it:

Like any good progressive, I've gone from admiration to hope to disappointment to anger when it comes to this president. Now I'm fast getting to rage.For all he knows--
How much rage? I find myself thinking that the thing I want most from the 2010 elections is for his party to get absolutely clobbered, even if that means a repeat of 1994. And that what I most want from 2012 is for him to be utterly humiliated, even if that means President Palin at the helm. That much rage.

An open letter to a Philosopher
This is the third installment in a series about Climategate. Dr. sipmac is afraid it is not the last of it, because he is following closely the evolution of this scandal. He feels this is too important to be nonchalantly ignored, so he will risk the being labeled as obsessed and/or repetitive. Always referring to himself in the third person (true to his Internet persona), without further ado presents:
Dear Mr. X:
It is not imperative to use your name in this open letter; Dr. sipmac only mentioned your credentials to state that your opinion on the matters that I will develop in this letter is qualified (To be frank, way more qualified than Dr. sipmac’s). Dr. sipmac read this morning your e-mail answering to the report sent to you by him yesterday. It was penned by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley on behalf of the Science & Public Policy Institute and its called “Caught Green Handed”. It is easily available online. Even not knowing if you could read the entire report, it was a jaw-dropping surprise for me that your only response was “I would be good to know who ordered or produced this version”.
The surprise originates from the recognizable points of your body of work and your areas of expertise that appear in the report and you didn’t at least acknowledge, probably in fear that doing so, you will have to admit that the anthropogenic/manmade global warming theory (MGW) that is being spread worldwide is bogus.
Dr. sipmac knows that feeling. MGW is so entrenched in the collective mind of the public opinion that dissenters from that theory are easily dismissed with a wave of the hand in the best-case scenario, or treated as outright kooks in the worst. These dissenters and skeptics are called “deniers”, as in “holocaust deniers”, which gives a pretty good idea about how the debate is framed. But wait! There is no debate! The science is settled, said Al Gore. But sticking rigorously to the well – known facts, you can still draw solid, undisputable conclusions. These facts are:
- Somebody hacked a batch of e-mails and files belonging to the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the
- These e-mails and files were leaked (presumably by the same whistleblower) to the BBC a month ago, and the BBC did absolutely nothing to investigate the matters involved in them.
- These e-mail and files then were posted on the internet, where they spread like a wildfire.
- Phil Jones, the director of the CRU, and a few of the involved, reluctantly accepted the authenticity of the leaked/hacked information.
- The contents of the leaked/hacked information are so damaging, that the only defense of the involved is that the crucial statements found in them are taken out of context, that the language the scientists use is incomprehensible to the laymen; i.e. the messages don’t mean what they mean. These messages unequivocally are about:
- The systematic suppression/doctoring of information that contradicted the theory of MGW. What about falseability?
- The direct manipulation of the resources used to evaluate the variations in global climate.
- The use of spurious means of research.
- The bullying and ousting of qualified skeptics and dissenters of MGW, resisting all the way to debate with the critics.
- The successful attempt to make of the peer-review process a travesty.
- Don’t forget that the result of this process is fed to the IPCC, and it is used for decision-making that affects the entire global economy and population. This is what the
It is not an easy job to become a MGW-skeptic these days, risking to lose the respect of the others, but with these facts, you can infer without hesitation that there is no real scientific process in the MGW warming research at least (witness Karl Popper), ergo, there’s no real science to the MGW theory, ergo, it can’t not be affirmed there is MGW, even GW properly. As Dr. sipmac said in a previous post, “Dr. sipmac is willing to accept there could be a global warming caused by CO2 emissions, even a manmade global warming… but stop offering the people to drink of the same old kool-aid. Gimme some truth”. Gimme some real science, he would add.
Very truly yours,
Dr. sipmacP.S.: The Science & Public Policy Institute is behind the report. Respectfully Dr. sipmac invites you to google the rest.

Cooking the Global Warming Books 2: What's next?
Could be Manmade Global Warming theory in the same level as the Piltdown Man? Should Al Gore give his Nobel Prize back? Should he rectify his film publicly? Should the CRU accept the manipulation of data and accept the consequences? Well, it is sure the honorable thing to do. But that surely won’t happen. Dr. sipmac wishes it would.
We were talking yesterday about the deep silence in the mainstream media. Now the people involved in the scandal feel shielded by the press trying conveniently to ignore and shut down what happened. As people say somewhere in Latin America : “cover up, cover up, cover up.”
That will hurt this particular cause and the cause of science in general by not realizing that by denying the manipulation the manmade global warming advocates are giving a debate-ready argument to people who assess that the earth is flat, that humans never went to the moon, and yes, to the creationists, too. The e-mail scandal will be then hung undeservedly on the honest, decent and dedicated scientists for decades to come.
Dr. sipmac cited the Piltdown man fiasco before for a reason. When the “archeological findings” were denounced as a fraud, it didn’t poke a huge hole in Darwin
The other thing that demonstrates this scandal is that the scientists are human after all: prone to do the wrong things for fame, money, recognition and help further political agendas. To the global warming family: please man up, fess it up and take it up. Stop hurting science the way you are doing it now.
