denier THINK TANKS face specter of "The Dirty Teens" & the neo Dust Bowl

Deniers face a drought of new lies to combat the dry truth


Libertarian think tanks have cancelled all leave and put all hands on deck to fight off the worse specter the DENIER INDUSTRY  ("Doubt is Good - good for our paycheques anyway") has yet had to face.

The Denier heartland, now as it was from September 1939 to December 1941, is the American Mid-West.

And the Mid-West is on fire, facing the biggest, deepest drought since "The Dirty Thirties" and the Dust Bowl.

Denier supporters are starting to wonder, sotto voce, whether there really is something to this Global Warming that all their secular church fathers warned them against.

Inside the Beltway, inside Whitehall, inside the Triangle, even way up on the Hill, the tankers are trying to spin doctor their oleaginous way out of this climatic bind.

I can imagine that Bell's long distance revenue plunge will reverse itself this quarter as Canberra, Washington, London and Ottawa denier spinners try to come up with common alibis when the voters come around.

Big Oil's profits soar with the temperature, because AC use way up in sweltering drought - let them fund the new denier lies

 Big Oil is making bigger than expected profits as more petro  is used to create the Air Conditioning cool (and more CO2) to beat this "not-global-warming"-warming -trend.

 Maybe they can cough up a few readies to combat this summer of
of 2012 threat to the Denier "endless summer sinecure" for so many second rate scientists, academics and journalist hacks....

"Water will follow the Probe" : criminally stupid in 19th, globecidally stupid in 21st century

   You'd think the denier classes would learn something from the mess they made of the 19th century.
   Remember all their boosterish talk about "the rainfall following the plow" ?
   In fact, what little moisture that was held by the Great Plains & Prairies'  original grass and bush cover was released and lost into the atmosphere once industrial scale deep plowing was undertaken : cue the shots of the resulting Dust Bowl.

  But no, the spacer division of the denier classes are busy touting that there is water - lots of water - everywhere on our planet and moon neighbours, if only we probe deeper and deeper and deeper.
   Sort of like denying the Peak of conventional oil by pointing out that we are still bringing up quasi-oil-like-substances from 20,000 expensive feet below 5,000 feet of ocean-tossed water.
   Now NASA is licking at the fount of all money ( us the gullible public ) by claiming that there is lots of water is there to be had - under  a crater on the Moon.*
     Deep,deep, deep under the Moon - somewhere - we just know it - trust us: send only cash, no cheques please.
   Believe it, without first engaging your citizen forensic audit skills set - even for just a moment - and you will unconsciously slacken your efforts on the real crisis at hand : saving the only and the best lifeboat we have : Planet Earth.....

* The BUNSEN BURNER claims:
"Scientists estimate there could be as much as 100 gallons of ice inside the two-mile deep crater."
    That much eh ???!!!
    Hey satire is supposed to be my gig -  just back off will ya, you Bunsenites !!!!
