Several commenters (Jaime Jessop, Ristvan, ROY) have suggested that it’s a waste of time analysing the output of Lew and Co. Best treat it as a joke. I’ve given the matter much thought, and decided that I don’t agree. We have to beat them at their own game by providing a serious thoughtful deconstruction of …
Stephan Lewandowsky and John Cook have just dropped another peer-reviewed pile even more offensive than the thirteen others served up from the Lew/Cookhouse and which are cited in the paper. Forgive the scatological intro, but this one is even more poisonous than the others for at least three reasons: 1) It makes no secret of the … Continue reading
French Ex-President Sarkozy has come out as a climate sceptic—sort of. WUWT has the story, and Benoît Rittaud is covering it (in French) here and here.

The NY Times has a less than stellar record for science coverage (even by mass-media standards), so we were pleasantly surprised to find the following adult, nuanced story in the Gray Lady‘s pages. Veteran reporters Marcus Toynboyalé, Jeff Chambers and Steven Glass have taken a critical, unfawning look at the upcoming überpaper from Naomi Oreskes … Continue reading
