all right

Occasionally adding corroborative details to add verisimilitude to otherwise bald and unconvincing,
but veridicous accounts
with careful attention, indefatigable assiduity, and nice discrimination.

Faking Man-Made Global Warming

I have finally completed the production of a few mixes of a song—“What Shall We Do with the Missing Data?”—which I composed in November, 2009, shortly after the release of the “climate-gate” e-mails. 

What Shall We Do with the Missing Data?

How shall we deal with egregious errors?
How can we spread more alarmist terrors?
What could we fake to create a scare as
good as global warming?
     Faking man-made global warming.

Soon your power must be dearer;
Armageddon is much nearer;
evidence, we say, is clearer
for that global warming.

Now it seems the weather’s cooling;
numbers drop of those we’re fooling;
people whom we should be ruling
must fear global warming.

Dr. Jones is now quite shaken,
feeling that he’s cooked his bacon;
maybe he was just mistaken
over global warming.

What shall we do with the missing data?
How shall we hide all the graphs’ stigmata?
How shall we keep all our fees pro rata
while we fake world warming?
     Faking man-made global warming.

Oh, dear, no, the seas aren’t rising;
powercos though are downsizing;
stop those sceptics analysing
man-made global warming!

We must keep the mob from waking;
hide how much that we were taking;
Mann and Jones et Al. were faking
man-made global warming.

Quench the opposition fires;
all who disagree are liars;
we’ll defame those bad deniers
of our global warming.

What shall we do with the evil-doers?
What shall we do with the peer-reviewers?
What shall we do with corrupting CRUers
faking global warming?
     Faking man-made global warming.

UPDATE I (31 August):  see James Delingpole’s “‘Climate scepticism is the new racism’ says Gore”.  Albert “Götterdämmerung” Gore does indeed insist on defaming all heretical sceptics.

UPDATE II (31 January, 2012):  with the sad demise of mp3.com.au, various mixes of this song are no longer available; I shall, I hope, upload the song to other sites eventually. 

UPDATE III (7 March):   one mix is now available at SoundCloud.
