Klimajournalisme på afveje

det burde hedde energikommissionen

resultatet er ikke brugbart på nogen måde... det er ren ønsketænkning

"Apparently Wikipedia's own attempt at self policing problem editors isn't working. Despite being up for a restriction or a ban, rogue Wiki editor (and Real Climate co-founder) William Connolley is still removing anything he doesn't like when it comes to climate science. This time it's wholesale removal of any reference to the American Physical Society resignation letter of physicist Hal Lewis, who resigned over the APS global warming position"

Den lille men gode nyhed er vel ikke nok til at jeg behøves ændre min...?

Det der gør det så nedslående er, at selv om han kommer i "karantæne" kan han jo bare få nogen andre til det, - eller er det ikke sådan?

Efter opremsning og kort beskrivelse af følgende begivenheder:

Steve McIntyre firing back at John Mashey

Raymond Bradley's attack on Edward Wegman's report on Mann's Hockey Stick

the 10:10 campaign to blow up children out of the climate news

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's decision to press ahead with subpoenas for Michael Mann's emails

Hal Lewis, a prestigious physicist, resigned from the APS,

William Connelly, a long-standing editor at Wikipedia, was banned from his pet section on climate change

Rajendra Pachauri will stay on as head of the IPCC,

New Zealand do not show a temperature rise

Fortsætter Thomas Fuller:

"That's just October, and the month is not even finished. People in the mainstream media who wonder why support for action to reverse or halt climate change has disappeared do not seem to understand that an almost daily diet of embarrassment does eventually have an effect. Because the mainstream media chooses not to cover these stories in any detail–often not at all–they forget that more people read this weblog than most newspapers, and they come from all around the world. They forget that every day, Roger Pielke Sr. http://pielkeclimatesci.wordpress.com/presents news of scientific publications that challenge the alarmist consensus, and that his son: http://rogerpielkejr.blogspot.com/daily tries to put boundaries around what is possible in terms of change. They certainly forget Steve McIntyre's auditing of lax performance by climate scientists: http://climateaudit.org/, and I doubt if they ever get past Lucia Liljegren's haiku: http://rankexploits.com/musings/"

' Men det er jo åbenbart ikke i Danmark, at skepsis vokser! Hvorfor mon? Er det, at vores medier totalt og hele vejen rundt, i fjernsyn, radio, aviser er helt og aldeles pro konsensus - selv i almindelig nyhedsdækning, nærmest som et diktatur, hvor intet, der kan svække tanken om konsensus, får lov til at komme frem? At vi er et så lille område, at det er muligt at tegne en sådan cirkel, hvor intet slipper (mere eller mindre) igennem...??? At vi ikke kan engelsk nok (eller er for dovne) til at læse og forstå de engelsksprogede blogs???

Men selvfølgelig svaret fra "prokonsensus folket" vil nok være, at vi er mere oplyste og ansvarlige end man er så mange andre steder, og at vi netop ikke falder for disse mistænkelige uredelige personer, der udspyr misinformation på blogs rundt omkring på nettet! Tja....

What Will the Climate Climb-Down Look Like?

"Climbing down is seldom anything less than complicated.

Here's something that you can bring to the bank: With regard to global warming, the major purveyors of news in the industrialized world will be climbing down from their various versions of frenzied alarmism. Here's something else that you can bring to your banker: the climb-down will be sneaky. On the other hand, when the series of editorial re-positionings is visible to casual members of the public at all, it will be beyond awkward."

"I think many would like to climb down, but they can't. They've too much invested. Money, credibility, and time. They're desperately seeking a different avenue, but there's no back door to sneak out. I think most, will go the way Charles Johnson has gone.(as ShrNfr points out)

I know I'm not the only one that has noticed the attempts to tie the skeptics to the TEA party movement in the U.S. These are the conspiratorial leaps one must take when your world view is destroyed in front of you and you lack the fortitude of introspection. It will only get worse and less coherent as we play along. It won't be as much as a "climb down" as a leap bore out of desperation like a jumper from a burning skyrise or a push."

"Four things must happen. 1) The Climategate whistle blower must be revealed. (Where are you, Keith Briffa?) 2) Shooting holes in the AGW hypothesis is not enough. The media has to have a competitive theory to move towards. Svensmark's will do nicely after results of the CLOUD Project are released by CERN. 3) The Alarmists must lose their last icon, the Arctic ice. 4) Simple cooler weather for the next few years is a must. In fact, if we DON'T see cooler temps soon, we'll be the ones with cognitive dissonance.
This should all occur within the next two years. Then we will all have to find something else to obsess about"
