Haven’t done a climate post in a while. A couple of things caught my eye. First, we have the ever entertaining William “The Wiki-Conqueror” Connolley at it again. This is a warmist was banned from editing Wikipedia because he was summarily deleting the profiles of people who didn’t tow the line on the alarmist version […]
Another Global Warming scare may be biting the dust… or debris: Researchers have discovered that contrary to popular belief half of the ice flows in the Karakoram range of the mountains are actually growing rather than shrinking. The discovery adds a new twist to the row over whether global warming is causing the world’s highest […]
The skeptics have been pointing this out for a while, but it’s nice to see a somewhat neutral government body acknowledge the, how shall we say, short-comings of two of the investigations. Here is a list of some of the shortcomings noted by Science and Technology Committee: UEA Vice-Chancellor Professor Acton misled the House of […]
Judith Curry, in a letter to her fellow climate scientists: Let me preface my statement by saying that at this point, I am pretty much immune to criticisms from my peers regarding my behavior and public outreach on this topic (I respond to any and all criticisms of my arguments that are specifically addressed to […]
A few months ago, there was a peer reviewed paper that many skeptics felt was a precursor to blacklisting climate scientists who didn’t tow the warmist doom-and-gloom party line. Criticisms are aired here, here, and most notably here, which explains why Climate expert Dr. Rodger Pielke Sr should not even be on the “skeptic” side […]
As Real Climate has crowed, there have been three investigations that cleared climate science of any wrongdoing in the Climategate scandal. Each investigation has its problems, but we’ll focus on the second one. The Oxburgh inquiry, was tasked to investigate the quality of the science that has been produce by faculty of East Anglia University, […]
Sometime over the week-end I received this comment on my blog: By Have Patterico removed, June 25, 2010 You are a fucking douche bag and I look forward to the day when you get cancer and die a slow, painful death Now, the original post was pretty innocuous – I was simply giving the guys […]
I wrote a number of post about Climategate. After this story broke there were other “gates” that appeared, including “Amazon-gate” and “Africa-gate”. Both those stories, written by one Johnathan Leake, have been retracted. I am a skeptic of the alarmist, dooms-day wing of AGW climate consensus, and have written more than a few bits on […]
If it takes twelve years to debunk science that is absolutely completely bogus, pure rubbish, then how long will it take to recognize sloppy, statistically inappropriate science that never-the-less has a valid premise, is solid, but is not “settled”?
