Denier denies climate change!

Did you hear? A denier has denied climate change! Shocking isn’t it? Well, no not really. In fact it is entirely predictable, and hardly worth a blog post. If only I had the skills of a professional spin doctor, then I could turn this into something news worthy. For example look how Marc Morano spun [...]

Journalismgate

Like Watergate, the real scandal of Climategate was not likely to be found in the communications of those who had their emails illegally hacked (or in the case of Watergate, their phones illegally tapped). Rather, the real scandal can be found by looking to those who were behind the hacking (or wire-tapping), in the first [...]

Dishonesty and hate; my brush with Marc Morano

My comment about the PNAS paper that analyzed the expertise and prominence of scientists who have signed public declarations stating that they are convinced, or unconvinced by the evidence for global warming, and the disgusting references to the Stasi, and the holocaust made by some deniers got me more attention that I expected.

Did a recent peer-review study really debunk climate change? [UPDATED]

A strict application of the comment policy

The good news of being linked to by Marc Morano is the amount of traffic it brings to a small site like this. The bad news is the large amount of less than useless comment that come along with that traffic, most of which have already been deleted in accordance with my comment policy. But [...]

The self-contradictions of Marc Morano

The fact that Marc Morano doesn’t present a synthesis view of the science of global warming will come as no surprise to my regular readers or anyone who knows of him. Morano grasps at anything that might (but frequently doesn’t) cast any doubt whatsoever on global warming, regardless of whether it contradicts other points he [...]
