It looks now rather unlikely that I’ll bother read much more Stern, and will instead lazily rely on others. Tim Worstall seems to be doing some reading, and (surprise!) doesn’t believe Sterns economic numbers. SR is getting lots of good press at the moment. I do rather wonder if it will survive in the long…
For those old enough to remember the Oreskes-Peiser controversy, Deltoid makes interesting reading.
Though of course I havent read the whole thing or anywhere close. I wonder if anyone ever will. Maybe it will be fun reading for Christmas! Or maybe not… Looking at

Just a quick pointer towards an article in Newsweek (which now appears under MSN? Odd…) Remember Global Cooling? quoting yours truly. The article isn’t entirely satisfactory, in that it doesn’t really point out the errors Newsweek made then – indeed, it rather suggests that it didn’t make errors.
Don’t you just hate it when the newspapers write up something based on selective leaks and insider info, and then fail to ptoperly report on the real thing because its been done already? Well, I’m not going to do that to the Stern Review (side note: if you look up Stern report on google, I’m…
