An Orwellian example…
I’ve spent the last day or so reading the responses by Dr Paul G Bain to the various emails and such he received in reply to the letter to Nature – “Promoting pro-environmental action in climate change deniers” (Paul G Bain et al) The gist of his response is that he regrets the word “deniers”, which … Continue reading
Surprising and welcome news…*
I’m pleased to say Adam Corner has agreed – in principle – to the reciprocal discussion I suggested – “Understanding AGW Believers”. Here’s the comment he posted in reply to me on his website: http://talkingclimate.org/understanding-climate-scepticism-a-sceptic-responds/ I am in principle up for what you suggest……let´s see how this second round of discussion goes down, if it … Continue reading
follow up to Pathologizing Dissent
Well, following on from mr Corner’s apparent attempt to present skepticism as a psychological disease to be “understood”, I tweeted him to see if he’d be prepared to reassert his rather damaged objective credibility by doing the same for the other “side” (I really hate talking in such terms) in the debate. Here’s the exchange: … Continue reading
Pathologizing Dissent
Article by Judith Curry on her website: http://judithcurry.com/2012/06/15/analyzing-agw-skepticism-missing-the-point Abou a recent conversation (HERE) between Adam Corner, a psychologist, and Geoff Chambers a noted AGW-skeptic about “Understanding climate scepticism”. There’s been a lot of dicussion about it both on Curry’s blog and at Bishop Hill. Curry links it to an additional study by Sonia Akter, Jeff Bennett Michael Ward, … Continue reading
The Ultimate MMORPG?
The famous Fortean Times – a place much after QS’s own heart has a forum where all things Fortean and much that isn’t is discussed. But watch them talk about global warming Here and Here. It’s a microcosm of Climate Hysteria. We see the gargantuan amounts of misinformation that are the staple of concerned but … Continue reading
“All of them Witches…”
As I’ve said several times already, I’m not one of those who claim manmade global warming (AGW) is a fraud. I don’t claim it can’t happen. I think it’s wildly premature to draw any conclusions like that. Maybe manmade CO2 is affecting the climate. Maybe it’s partly responsible for the warming. But it’s the insane … Continue reading
Are you now or have you ever been….
Open email from Gordon Fulks concerning the firing of Nikolas Drapela PhD from OSU. He claims no reason was given for the summary dismissal, and thinks it might be connected with Drapela’s vocal skepticism about AGW theory. I can’t confirm or deny the claim. Neither can David Appell (HERE), though that doesn’t stop him having … Continue reading
Climate Stuff has its own pad
I don’t want my usual little weird odd-and-ends place to get swamped with climate stuff, so I’ve give it its own corner. Here ’tis.
The fraud of faux certainty
I’ve been featuring the issue of climate change, or more specifically mammade climate change, quite a lot lately. Not because I believe it’s untrue. I don’t. I have no belief about it at all. As anyone who reads this will know I agree with Robert Anton Wilson that “belief is the death of intelligence”. The … Continue reading
“1,000+ Peer-Reviewed Papers Supporting Skeptic Arguments Against AGW/ACC Alarm” (wow, snappy)
The title says it all. Popular Technology has released links to over a thousand peer-reviewed papers it claims support skepticism about ManMade Climate change. Either they question the theory itself, or question the theory of positive feedback that would make the warming dangerously extreme. The pro-AGW blog “Carbon Brief” (READ IT HERE) claimed (or at … Continue reading
