ClimateGate Satire...

IowaHawk is well-known for his satirical pieces lampooning just about everything deserving of lampooning.  Some of them are roll-around-on-the-floor funny, especially if they happen to be on a topic that's near and dear to your heart.

Well, now he's speared ClimateGate.  And I'm just now recovering.  If you enjoy satire, and you have a working knowledge of the AGW debate and ClimateGate, then put down your morning beverage, swallow, and go read.

One little sample:
Many of those behaviors are on display in the security film, as we see a sexless group of drone graduate students processing a raw datum with saliva, sawdust and Fortran code. After each iteration the time series is presented to the Alpha Grantwriter to see if fits inside his graph. Several graduate drones die of exhaustion, but the data eventually fit the template.

Next the Alpha Grantwriter flies to an international climate research conference with the completed PowerPoint template, where he will share his guano with other Alpha Grantwriters over cocktails in the hotel lounge. This is a process metascientists refer to as "peer review."

Lordy, that man can throw those words around...
