Jo Abbess calls William Connolley a 'diamond geezer' in his comments

Jo:
Some people have all the energy.

William Connolley’s struggle to keep Wikipedia clean on Climate Change has tired me out – and I only dip into the ongoing saga from time to time :-

He must eat oats to have that kind of perpetual momentum :-

The spat at Wikipedia over editing of Climate Change-related material has subsided into a kind of uneasy truce.

Seems like the Climate Change sceptic-deniers just won’t let it lie – they’re recycling their accusations of Connolley all over again. WARNING : What follows may contain gross inaccuracies :-

Just in reply to Greensands Information on a Poll we are running over at www.Greenerenergyexpert.co.uk, the Poll has now been closed due to unfair manipulation of the Votes, ie. Multi voters using the fact you did not have to register to vote if you understand a little about browsers - this is the fact of the matter, if (and I am sure you already know) you have read the other mentions of this Poll on the Telegraph blogs etc, you will see other posts boasting of the ease at which this can be acheived - I will let you decide (which is all we wanted our Poll to do) Thanks

Is this the end of the age of insanity?

Green Quangos go and Nuclear power wins outright. Perhaps now we can start planning for a future for our kids.

Just wondered if anybody can remember how to get re-enabled at the CiF website. A 'close' associate' has been 'disabled' for failing to show sufficient obeisance to the Gods Moderator, Gaia and AGW.

Wonderful how a site dedicated to free comment dislikes it so much when the party line is transgressed.

I hear that overseas aid is one area which the government intends will not be cut. Couldn't they save a lot of money by stopping all the payments which are currently going towards promoting green propaganda in other countries?

Maybe the IPCC should try this approach to form consensus ( no red button, if you are asked toleav, your choice, no pressure)

I would love to see Pachauri perfom a REVERSE TWINKLE

Hi Bish, (I thought I had posted this once, but maybe a senior moment), it is re the unfair 25 year feed in tariffs.

GreenerEnergyExpert.co.uk appear to think that the government “have plans to slash the FiT payments for new Solar Installations”. Which is what should be done, but this obviously does not suit GreenerEnergy so they are running a poll the results of which:-

“will be passed to the decision makers at the highest level and we can only hope they will take on board the positive nature of the overwhelming response we have enjoyed so far!”

Have a visit, cast your vote and maybe leave a comment with their Chatmaster – “Overlord and Webmaster”

The balance might benefit from some readdressing. The reason is the following email. Note “As a Friend”, that way the poll was always going to be stacked.

"GREEN ALERT

As a Friend of A Shade Greener – Are you aware…?

The Coalition Government may scrap this country’s whole Green initiative next Wednesday?

This will affect you so have your say! NEXT WEEK WILL BE TOO LATE

Oh.. I feel a 'REVERSE TWINKLE' coming on..............

A MUST read, if you want to actually laugh hystericall........

From the Thames Valley Climate Action Group (found it via climate camp, my local group)
http://tvca.ox4.org/meetings.php

!!! Take a look at the 'twinkling hand' signal (with picture) to give when the meeting reaches consensus... !!!!

They have their own special hand signals !!!! (Follow the link for the diagrams!!)

"Raise one or both hands and wiggle when you hear an opinion that you agree with, wave a hand with your fingers pointing upwards. This saves a lot of time as people don't need to chip in to say "I'd just like to add that I agree with that point." This is sometimes called a twinkle. Some people use a 'reverse twinkle' (hands pointing down and wiggling) to show disagreement with the point being made."

I might be considered a 'block' and asked to leave....

•Blocks are where people feel so strongly that the proposal should be rejected that they would consider leaving the group if the proposal is passed. People that block will be asked why they are doing so in the hope that the proposal can be modified to address their concerns. Ultimately, if there is a block, consensus has not been reached and the decision will not be taken. If you find yourself blocking a lot it could be that you don't share the same values and vision as the rest of the group and you might think about leaving the group for one that does share your values.

•Stand-asides are where people do not actively support the proposal, but are OK for it to go ahead. As with blocks, people that stand aside will be asked why they are doing so that the group can understand the concerns people have and, hopefully address them. If lots of people stand aside the facilitator may decide that consensus has not been reached and look to reform the proposal. If only a small number of people stand aside the facilitator may decide to go ahead and check for consensus.
•Consensus is when people actively agree to the proposal and are willing to implement it. If you consent to the proposal, show this with the twinkling hands signal.

leaving of course a like minded 'consensus'
some consensus, asking people to leave....
