                                   IN THE HEAT OF THE LIGHT

Hours have elapsed since the first picture of a black hole made its debut at the Harvard -Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and still no press release from former CFA associate, aerospace engineer and giant clam expert Willie Soon  blaming global warming on the toasty object at M87's galactic core. 

While this first image from the Event Horizon Telescope radio interferometer  array has been colorized to make it look red hot, the actual temperatures of the glow backlighting the event horizon is upwards of 100,000,000,000 degrees. Once temperatures reach the MEV range, what kind of degrees doesn't greatly signify.

Climate denial opinion makers remains divided as to how to greet the discovery. CFACT favors having Senator Inhofe throw the black hole into the Senate chamber to disprove the global warming hoax,  but remains at a loss as to how to get it through security.

The Heartland Institute has invited the black hole to its next Climate Conference to speak on galactic cosmic rays and the coming ice age, and Viscounts Monckton  & Ridley have asked it to join the board of their Newcastle coal mining venture Black Holes Pty.

Meanwhile, the Watts Up With That commentariat has moved with relativistic speed to deconstruct the hoax:


Stephen Crothers demolishes Special relativity
We are so small. Does anything we do really matter? Certainly puts climate change in perspective.
Michael Mann had a comment about this on twitter, whining that science could accomplish this feat but can’t seemingly fix global warming – an excellent response followed.
"Well, one sucks in all nearby resources even though the science is shaky, and the other is a very dense dead star."
