                 THE  ANTHROPOCENE ? IT'S  GREEK  TO  ME


 SITS ATOP  THE THEOGENE,  TITANOCENE AND  CLASSICAL ERAS
AND POSTMODERN GEOLOGISTS DIGGING FURTHER INTO
 THE  SEMIOTIC COLUMN  
HAVE UNEARTHED A BOOK OF CAUTIONARY FABLES ABOUT 
THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE BASED ON LUCIAN'S 

 THAT PROVES THE  CLIMATE  WARS  ANTEDATE  THE  FALL OF TROY:  


THE  FRONTISPIECE OF  DE BELLO CLIMATICO, SHOWING  THE EARLIEST KNOWN  GLOBAL CLIMATE MODEL,  PROJECTING PANTHEOGENIC CLIMATE CHANGE  FROM 101 TO 1 BC,
FROM CAM- I RUNS ON  THE ANTIKYTHERA  MACHINE 


 It begins with a paean praising the
 Interpantheonic Panel ON Climate  Change 
Whose President, Zeus, Father of Gods and men ,
  wisely  commissioned Hephaestus to build the 
Antikythera  2-D Analog Cosmos Model
to  help  the  Gods  evaluate the threat of
Hellenic  warming from thunderbolt doubling 
at the end of The Titanocene Era.
and tells  of how foam-footed Aphrodite 
struck far-seeing Icarus, systems  programmer
  of the Gods with  love for  Phoebe, 
 muse of  solar  radiation  management,



and how he threw the brazen computing engine overboard
near Antikythera to placate  earth-shaking  Poseidon
after the God threatened to inundate Olympus
if  the  IPCC  mandated  ambrosia rationing.

De Bello Climatico  ends on a tragic note, with the
extinction  of  the  entire  Greek  Pantheon, and its replacement by an assortment of New Age ' monotheistic ' religions, like the dread and bloody ISIS cult,  which explains the work's  Aesopian  moral :

ONE ONE GIANT GOOSE STEP BACKWARDS


Watts has been gobsmacked to the moustache roots by a post that flew under his censors radar last Sunday. 

Throwing good sense and Godwin's Law to the winds, WUWT arts gauleiter Tim Ball delivered this honking addition to the party line:

"When you understand what Adolf Hitler is saying in the quote from “Mein Kampf” above, you realize how easy it was to create the political formula of Agenda 21 and the scientific formula of the IPCC."   
Herr Doktor Ball waded  even deeper into the kultursmog this week with a gonzo attack on George Monbiot.

The weirdness of eliding marxistante Guardian drones with dead National Socialists seems lost on Watts' 
Dunning-Kruger Bruderbund, but Ball's silly walk has his academic familiars cackling:


Somewhat ?  Ambiguous enough to send Tarsandinistas and The Tea Party rallying to Ball's warning that a Nazi Warmist conspiracy lies behind the Big Lie of radiative forcing:
Phillip       
Dr Ball, your article is appreciated. In my view, the comparison with Hitler is entirely apt. 
Godwins law is an internet meme with no weight in logical argument. It is just another way for the politically correct to tell you to “shut up”.
 Shub Niggurath 
“This post is entirely the opinion of Dr. Tim Ball”  
Not really, I agree with him completely and so do lots of other people I know...This has always been political, not scientific. It does not make you a conspiracy theorist if you can see what is really happening here over time. 
Stephen Richards  

Edwards and Betts continue to spout their deniertribe and their massive increase in global temperature and their massive floods to come and their give us the money now and we will save you from disaster... I do not want to hear their pathetic gripeing.

Tony B said :Many of us who are sceptical of the AGW meme (but not of constant climate change) are trying to build bridges, don’t think all climate scientists are dishonest or stupid... The AGW crowd are a very long way from that witness the cry for another £97m from the UK Met O when they know their models are useless.

Secondly, saying the crimascologist are not stupid implies they are deceitful for they must be supporting the more fraudulent members of their profession for this scam to have continued for soooo long.

MANN v. STEYN : DON'T TELL THE JURY

As the scales of justice begin to twitch in  Mann v. Steyn, time remains to admit in evidence the defendent's  National Review columns, including this quote:
"As in the Congolese civil war, where both sides agreed that pygmies made excellent appetizers,  in the Egyptian political standoff...  both pro and anti-Morsi forces agree on little else except that the chicks are fair game...   
This is why President Morsi keeping his first lady in a body bag is more than a fashion statement, but a statement about ... the justice system..."

And tasteful MarkSteyn.Com swag like  a T-shirt emblazoned :
that could leave the jurors wondering :    Is the lady on Mark's left 
                                                                       his  fiance', or his lunch?

POSTMODERN PETROLOGY FOR POETS

THE NEW YORK REVIEW 
OF POSTMODERN GEOLOGY
Deconstructing the un-natural history of the anthropocene epoch since 2006
Will the Anthropocene be the first era since the Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction in which all rocks get to be famous for 15 minutes?

This brave new epoch has already seen the TV debut of a prime-time worthy gypsum deposit that puts Industrial Light & Magic's best CGI to shame.

The crystal cave's high Nielsen rating created a gold rush of producers seeking out-of-this-world terrestrial geology to televise, and the few geology libraries to survive the Holocene-Anthropocene Extinction have thronged by science writers seeking news of  postmodern rock discoveries, including

Trinitite
The earliest dated rock of the Postmodern epoch is a green-violet, obsidian-like fused lithic 
The holotype,  a thin stratum of  un-natural glass emplaced in the White Sands of New Mexico. has a tritium age of 6.9 milli-eons, slightly older than deposits of the Terminal Showa formation that outcrop in Japan's Hiroshima and Nagasaki prefectures, and varous remote locales   in Nevada, Kazakhstan, China's Lop Nor basin . Highly enriched in transuranic elements, trinitite specimens look far older than their years.

Tellerite 
An ephemeral variety of trinitite that resembles popcorn while it lasts,  results from the abrupt explosion of calcium carbonate  into porous burnt lime when hydrogen bombs  explode over coral.

 

It was briefly reported on some now vanished Pacific coral atolls, but all the holotype material  turned to lime water in the first tropical shower following its discovery
Macadamite
While most sedimentary strata  form thick horizontal sheets, hydrocarbon rich macadamite occurs only as thin two dimensional ribbons  containing unfossilized flattened faunal remains
Interwoven veins of macadamite of astonishing extent and complexity have been mapped in Southern California, and form a beltway connecting the Cretaceous formations of Maryland & Massachusetts.

Saddamite   
More mafic than Maccadamite, this high-temperature no-pressure  lithic facies results from extreme local  heating of holocene tar sands in  regions prone to  pyromania, including Iraq and Kuwait.
Saddamite consists of  sand grains in a matrix of carbon black and pyrolized asphaltenes, a petrogenesis  that defies  natural explanation.  While high nickel and vanadium porphyrin levels suggest an  origin in marine cretaceous petroleum, the infernal thermal fluxes needed to generate pure carbon in such amounts only result from the deliberate ignition of oil fields 
Cryabase
The new discipline of meteopetrology focuses on cryabase, the only terrestrial rock consisting enirely of condensed air.  

Its minerals include native oxygen and nitrogen,  ice  I & IVcrystals , priestlyite (the carbon analog of silica) ,and  minute crystallites of argon, , neon, krypton and Freon.
The  sporadic type locality at Cape Canaveral  transiently features aircicles and flowstone like crusts on  liquid hydrogen tanks, where cryabase  avalanches can cause self-inflicted meteor damage to Space Shuttles.

While rare outside the Kuiper Belt, cryabase may become depressingly common in the inner solar system if Senator Inhofe's views on global warming  are correct.


Caution should be exercised in collecting cryabase samples, as geologists' picks tend to embrittle severely at frozen air temperatures, and the temptation to lick field samples for a better view of microstructure can lead to severe frostbite of the tongue.
Saganite
A phenomenally cold and dark family of aerosol minerals arbitrarily small amounts  of which can reportedly lower global temperatures below freezing for 40 days and 40 nights. The  type report published in Science in 1983 seems largely based on the related species, apocryphite, found in many factoid deposits, but lacking the consciousness raising properties of the material originally published . 
Saganite exemplifies the  unstable  minerals grouped as the "factoidite"  melange  arising from hermeneutic metamorphism during high-pressure  deformation professionel  

Little is known of its physical properties as despite its extensive literature , it only occurs in nuclear winters.  Saganite may be  semiotically related to the War of the Worlds symplectite, first reported from Grovers Mills New Jersey by Orson Welles in 1938.

The Tora Bora Metapeltites
Some anthopocene cave deposits in the Hindu Kush and Waziristan syntaxis show signs of shock and awe  deformation. Their extensive contamination with shards  of lead and depleted uranium frustrated   postmodern petrologists seeking to connect them to:
The Ground Zero Gneiss
Known only from deposits in lower Manhattan, this product of political catastophism is a mylonized migmatite containing portlandite,  asbestos fibers, enormous laths and corrugated sheets of metallic iron and  mica-like sheets of carbonized cellulose with angular markings more legible than graphic granites, many pertaining to world trade.
