In which the pond celebrates reptile climate science and a performance up there with the Australian cricket team ...


The pond usually likes to lead off with a picture - something to do with the childhood love of picture books perhaps - but this achievement will have to do instead, and anyone who wants the SBS moving pictures that go with it can head off here ...

But then we've been achieving these records for years, a bit like the Australian cricket team, so these days this sort of news is greeted with silence, or a good long nap ...

It reminds the pond of the lyrics of that popular song, ' the hate you get is equal to the hate you give', or perhaps the lyrics should be 'the junk science you get is equal to the junk science you give' …

Who knows, the pond is prone to that favourite disease, the misheard song lyric, all the way from ‘we built this city on sausage rolls’ to ‘sweet dreams are made of cheese’.

There's no need to look too far for an explanation. The covert climate denialist onion muncher has become more overt of late, emboldened by the Donald ...


It will be noted in that little gaggle of googled stories, the reptiles stood out in the usual way, because they didn't even bother to feature the climate denialist in full cry, instead preferring to celebrate the way that Malware was in effect just another orthodox centre-right climate denialist PM. 

There's a sweet cheese irony tucked away in there somewhere, just like the climate denialism ...


Thank the long absent lord that in the name of political incorrectness the pond can go on calling the onion muncher a pie-eating climate science denialist ...


What the onion muncher knows about climate science could, apparently, be written on the head of a deeply implausible pin or a rather small deeply implausible pie ...

But where does the onion muncher get his science from?

Well here's where the reptiles of Oz step up to the plate, or head out to the wicket to perform like the Australian cricket team ...



Now there's a familiar figure. 

If you head off to read here, you'll end up with a link to Event horizon: the black hole in The Australian's climate change coverage, back in 2011, where you'll also find active links. Here, just for pie-eating fun, is an excerpt:


Of course nothing has changed in the past five years ... the reptile love of Asten continues unabated and apace ...


Now the intriguing thing about reptile science is to see where it fits in climate change denialism.

Some reckon there's five stages, others have whipped up even more ...


Now on the sweet science is made of cheese scale, the pond would place the latest Asten piece at somewhere around 3 or 4 on the scale of the art of distraction ... credible causes, credible persons, and human agency as code for humans not being involved ...


It's all the usual denialist stuff, dressed up with the usual hints "I find it curious" and "such coolly scientific assessments", as opposed to irrational assessments by hot-headed hysterical climate alarmists, who are probably women, such are the offensive nature of their outbursts, upsetting Asten and the Donald no end ...

Well we all know what to do with complimentary women ...

But how Asten could type, with apparently straight face, "the significance of Trump to climate science", while seemly unable to type "the significance of Trump to shameless climate science denialists like me"?

It must count as one of the greater marvels of recent Oz climate scribbling ...

Well we're not far away from a new world, and a new American thanksgiving and apparently if Asten is to be believed, the arrival of the Donald as a significant contributor to climate science  ...


That sets up to the pond to give thanks to the climate science insights of First Dog's potato, up there with Asten and the onion muncher and the rest of the reptile rat pack, as the future chip discovers the friendly, helpful efforts of fossil fuel companies  ... (with the full cartoon at the Graudian here ...)

  1. First Dog has gone the full Trump! Turnbull was only half-Trumping yesterday, but I hold hope he will do better in his next cosy chat with Ms Sales.
    How do you like Leigh's new Trumpoid hair-style, DP? Perhaps more Fox than Trump, all the better to dazzle with, anyway.

  2. The 'moral panic' line is comedy gold - this from the people who whipped up Safe Schools, Union corruption and section 18C!

    Bannon-like alt-right trigger warning...


    "The reality is we won’t have total control over the administration that is coming. We can work to make sure it goes out our way, but it may not. Instead of sitting back, we need to work parallel strategies to keep our momentum in two fundamental ways:

    1.Continue to grow our numbers.
    2.Remove the source of our enemy’s money and influence to reduce their growth.

    Here are a few areas that we can do the above.

    Convert Our Women To Grow Our Numbers

    Don’t listen to MRA incels about how lost Western women are. Don’t believe leftist lies that Western women hate men and don’t need us.

    One of the most heartening developments of this election is that it showed white women overwhelmingly voted for Trump vs. Hillary Clinton. Without our women, Trump wouldn’t have won. That is an amazing blow to the left. Even more than this, it indicates the power of the white identity politics we are forming is more than “Angry White Men.” It means our numbers are easily 2X greater by bringing our women along with us. This is a huge untapped area for our movement.

    The attempt of the left to split our women away from our men was a failure. Our women love us and they want us to be strong leaders for our families. They voted for strength and against feminist lies. Let that sink in how our women came through for us and let’s continue to lead them on the path out of the darkness.

    Without women on the left, more men will leave their side as well. The left can keep the whores, spinsters, and social rejects. We don’t want their fatties and lesbians. We’ll take our women and show what the patriarchy can really do when it is united and strong."

    1. The pond just had to follow that link and then emerged from the cesspit with only one thought - why fashthenation when it would have been more honest to say "fascistfuckthenation"?
