Rabbi Ludwig: God Practices Collective Punishment
November 10, 2010
Sit back and let the Wright Reverend Rabbi Ludwig explain how the Great Flood was God’s warning against his next punishment to be inflicted upon the world:
Yowzers. Got that?
First of all, ignore all the stuff about Congressman Shimkus, which is a sideshow. I haven’t viewed the video, and have neither the desire nor the means to do it in a way that protects my computer. It really doesn’t matter, because Ricochet Rabbi™ takes off in a completely sideways direction and claims that AGW is God’s collective punishment to mankind for our collective climate sins.
Chuck? You down for all this?

By Chuck’s silence he supports the radical theocratic leanings of LVQ
CO2 what? Is he fucking insane? Experiments have shown that plantlife responds to higher CO2 levels by growing. Actual, reproducible experiments, Mr Physicist Man, not the ex cathedra models that don’t account for most of the processes taking place in the atmosphere.
We’re already near the lower bound of CO2 required for plant life to function (something like 190 to 200 ppm is the limit – we’re at approximately 340. The optimum level for plant growth – that is, the level where they make most efficient use of water and nutrients – is around 1500 to 2000 ppm. Above that increasing it has no effect and certainly doesn’t kill plants.
Lame idiot can’t do science once again.
Savor the irony of a rant that starts out criticizing this congressman for mixing science and prophesy, and then ends up doing precisely that. Sounds like theocracy to me, huh, Chuck?
Well, he does warn us right after the Shimkus video:
“This time instead, I’m going to take another tact.”
The return of the tact-taker!
Oh noes! Is he gonna tact check our asses?
“Take another tack” is the phrase if you’re talking about sailing into the wind on the Sea of Lud. During his rants he shows no tact.
Tactics, yes. Tact, no. Tacky.
Also a source of deep, rich belly-laughs, is the part where Lewdy speaks of “AGW” as if it is “revealed truth,” comparable to the Bible in terms of its accepted content. “AGW certainly does not predict…AGW predicts the flooding will wipe out coastal areas and certain islands…” What, pray tell, is the King James AGW that he’s speaking of? Is it “An Inconvenient Truth,” perhaps?
The science is settled: There is no God but Al-Gore, and Lewd-Thing is his prophet.
God hates deniers. My buddy Al Gore told me that. I campaigned for him, you know.
We’re back in the manic phase again.
So it would seem. I believe that there’s more.
Can we pass the hat and get him some dilithium crystals?
I’m still not completely convinced however that he’s not some froll posting this stuff and laughing his arse off at the updings. Dave in Australia? I won’t say anything.
I have thought that myself at times, especially the dark falcon poster.
But the hyperbolic posts certainly seem to have a rhythm to them.
The crazy is thick either way.
Dave’s incarnations were more entertaining.
I heart Aisha ~:)
Lewd Wank van Spank believes in the Great Flood? Doesn’t that make him a Young Earth Creationist? Time was that was a bannable offense. I guess Chuckles is off slaying other invisible dragons now…
Good. Grief. I personally lost all interest in Yertle and his ISAC (incredible shrinking amen chorus), but LVQ is material for a thesis in psychology.
This guy is sick!
What I find odd is Lewd Wig talking about melting ice raising the sea levels because “water, when heated, expands.” Well, first of all, ice takes up more volume than water, as anyone who has observed the level dropping in a glass of ice water as the ice melted, or water swelling as it freezes in an ice tray, knows.
This would suggest that if floating ice sheets melt, the sea levels might actually drop—the more so because if the atmosphere is warmer it can absorb and hold more water vapor.
He’s confusing two different phenomena. Ice, when on land (as in Greenland and Antarctica) melts and raises sea level. When the ice is floating, Archimedes’ principle guarantees that an iceberg will take up exactly the same space when it melts (the difference in density being compensated by the tip that no longer sticks up above the water line).
He’s confusing that with the thermal expansion that happens when the ocean water warms and expands. That, btw gives us a very accurate indication of the average temperature of the ocean; if it changes even a degree, we’ll know because the sea level will rise several feet. That’s what Kevin Trenberth was talking about with the missing heat. They can’t account for all the heat. There’s about twenty three bazillion calories of heat hiding under some rock somewhere. They posit that heat’s gone missing in the ocean, and yet sea level rise over the past 50 years is unremarkable.
You haven’t seen twenty three bazillion calories of heat laying around anywhere, have you?
I’m assuming that aliens are stealing our heat and shipping it back to Neptune, but I could be wrong.
No, he isnt even making that simple of a mistake, see my post below. This is pure physics and he fucked it up big time.
Ice floating in the ocean not only displaces it’s own weight, but it also displaces 11 percent more volume then the surrounding water. When the ice melt’s the volume contracts by 11 percent.
Yeah, but we’re not talking about menopause.
Pressure increases temperature, too. Has anyone correlated atmospheric pressure variations with all the rest of the variables?
Is that you ludwank, is this me?
LOL that.
Well there goes luggies mythical scientific credentials. Water is a unique compound, when it freezes, it expands, by a rather amazing 9%. In other words, it takes up considerably more space as ice then as water. This is rather significant when that ice is on land, it is profoundly more significant when in water. On the other hand it takes a 100 degree increase in waters temperature to increase it’s volume a mere 2 percent.
Here’s where luggies butt fucking ignorance of science really kicks in. Water expands by 9 percent by volume at 32 degree’s F, however at 39.2 degrees water begins to contract reaching it maximum density at 32.9 degrees. Water’s maximum density is 2 percent by volume smaller then it’s room temperature volume.
Freshly melted ice water, is, you guessed it, 32.9 degrees, it’s not only cold, it is at it’s volumetric smallest by volume state. It’s also at it’s most dense, ie. heaviest, ergo, it sinks. Where does it sink to? It sinks to where it becomes locked in it’s smallest by volume state.
Surface water never gets hot enough to experience thermal expansion above 2 percent by volume. The surface water would have to raise in temperature to 132.9 degrees to experience 2 percent thermal expansion by volume. The surface temperature in the oceans maxes out in the Persian Gulf, at 96.8 degrees.
Luggie isnt a scientist he sure as hell isnt a physicist, and does not display the cognitive reasoning skills even to be a teacher. He is, nothing but a fool ranting on a internet soapbox.
“To deny this idea, by claiming that G-d will not let man to choose to destroy, is to deny both history, where G-d has allowed us to slaughter each other again, and again, but theologically, it is to deny the essence and underpinning of choose to destroy,…blah blah blah….”
Yikes! I could wear out my red pen on that partial sentence alone.
Achonix has a good point. The planet has so many built in checks and balances (can you say Intelligent Design?) that excess CO2 would be taken care of by more plants.
I will have to take everyone’s word on what was posted. I don’t rally have time for reading multi-page insane ramblings today.
I don’t know what this means, if anything, but I noticed that everywhere he writes “G-d” except in the paragraph after “I put before you, life and death…”
Pretending to be Orthodox? Mask slip? One would think that typing “G-d” would be second nature to an Orthodox Jew.
Heheheh. He said tact. Heheheh. Frakking idiot. Heheheh.
