It’s a testament to how far the spirit of Christmas has spread. The nations that don’t have a public holiday for Christmas are marked in brown. … Lighter brown countries (China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia) don’t have a public holiday but are described as “giving observance”. Albeit “some jurisdictions of the Eastern Orthodox Church, including those of Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Jerusalem, mark feasts using the older Julian calendar”. Those nations celebrate on January 7th.

It’s a testament to how far the spirit of Christmas has spread. … Lighter brown countries (China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia) don’t have a public holiday but are described as “giving observance”. It’s a day a lot of the world shares. Albeit “some jurisdictions of the Eastern Orthodox Church, including those of Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Jerusalem, mark feasts using the older Julian calendar”. Those nations celebrate on January 7th. Wishing you warm smiles. Map by Nanib , Skriplerio, Moyogo 10 out of 10 based on 49 ratings Wishing you all the best, wherever you are. The long tradition lives on.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day today. Thanks for all the support! 9.7 out of 10 based on 68 ratings Image by pixel2013 Thanks to readers who responded to the request to respond to the Carols against Coal. After the gripping thrill of “We Wish You a Steady Climate“, get ready for a treat. Here’s draft one of Christmas Carols to Warm the World. Forgive the odd blasphemy, there are some absolute gems lines here. With a little more fine tuning I see lots of potential — a book for next Christmas? Thank you to the star contributors, and please keep them coming! Merry Christmas to everyone. — Jo Tides of Mudgee: O Come All Ye Warmists Oh come all ye warmists You think you’re so triumphant Oh come on, admit it now, you’re wrong, wrong, wrong Climate is changing, But we are not the cause of it. We cannot change the CO2, It doesn’t drive the temperature, The biggest lie in history Christ I’m bored.
Reed Coray — Jingle Coal Burning all that coal Warms our very soul o’er the lumps we roll Staying warm’s our goal. Watching Gaia squirm Maybe even burn Looking for a fight Makes our spirits bright. Doing what we should Even all we could Doing plants much good Better coal […] Merry Christmas to everyone. It’s a happy Christmas here, thanks to everyone who is chipping in to help cover the costs of science research and commentary that the government won’t fund. A big thankyou also to the moderators. Wishing everyone the best of health and happiness. 9.3 out of 10 based on 89 ratings To you, your friends and family, wishing you all the best, wherever you. The clock is turning, and it’s Christmas in New Zealand… Australia, Japan, China, … A house around the corner generating some CO2 for Christmas. Cheers! — Jo 9.5 out of 10 based on 107 ratings
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday period. Thanks especially to all of you who support independent science research and commentary. Somehow both earners in this household have been drawn full time into this strange pursuit. (Just doing our best to fill some gaping holes left by monopolistic government driven research and public broadcasting.) We are reliant on your generosity, and very grateful. It’s a team effort. Dr David Evans, my other half, the Stanford Fourier man, has continued his research. The notch-delay theory is healthy and well. Updating the solar model has been delayed while an unexpected gem gets extracted and tested. David ended up spending most of the last six months digging deep into one corner of an appendix where an unpredicted contradiction revealed itself. Potentially this is a key part of the jigsaw, intrinsic to all climate models. It was too tempting to ignore. Unlike most of the climate debate, this gem does not rely on any arguments about datasets. And it is not diabolically complex either, for the most part. We’ll be releasing news of that sometime early in 2015. We’ll also be going through the […] Merry Christmas to readers everywhere, especially to those who are far from family and friends in time or place… … or possibly separated by the politics of modern tribes. A shame. Mischief likes the big green cat-toy with balls to pounce on. 9.2 out of 10 based on 62 ratings Best wishes 🙂 Jo 8.8 out of 10 based on 99 ratings The immovable wall met the inflexible mind this week. The bitterly cold weather brought out some spectacular cases of cognitive dissonance. The Greg Graven’s who were overcome with passion, and the Monboit’s who were overcome with the complete “suspension of disbelief” whilst hunting for ways to rationalize their faith in a theory. Too warm? Too cold? It doesn’t matter, what ever it is, it matches a model somewhere, somehow, post hoc, ad hoc, hoc post, whatever… Craven tried to explain himself on Judith Curry’s site and it only got worse. I’m betting we’ll see more of those implosions in 2011. Thanks to all of those who helped me this year — with advice, information, tips, and chocolate. Thanks to the unsung moderators too. 🙂 Apologies for all the times I forgot to say thanks to the right person for tips — a few weeks ago my intray seriously did reach 21,000 messages and the magic 4G mark, whereupon my email functionality collapsed, the computer crashed, and then I learnt the importance of something called “compacting”. I would like to thank people more often, and am conscious that I didn’t always get it right. I’ll be taking a few […] |
