Those who poke around in obscure corners of the wub may have noticed that Force X from Outer Space was due to be published in October:
We are ramping up the end of this series because we’ve been informed that both of David’s papers will be published in October — one on the error in the climate models and one on the notch delay solar theory.
This was an event of somewhat less note than AW's epoch-making non-paper but surely it deserves some kind of mockery rather than total contempt? Or perhaps not.
Anyway, it is now November. Perhaps the papers didn't make Nature after all. I tweaked them but didn't get a reply.
[Now (written 2016/12/16) we're a fair way though December. I've tweaked them again -W]

A successor to Where Are They Now, 2014.
First and foremost, and although not quite in 2015 I shall ignore that, was David Bowie.
2015 was the year I finally kicked the habit of reading denialist blogs - well, nearly - which was a good idea, but it does mean I'm not as in touch as I used to be,…
Also known as the worst movie ever made. What I'm going to discuss doesn't come even close to "the worst blog post ever made", but, well, you'll see.
So: the backstory. I've been commenting on some of JoNova's stuff. Its not the big time, but unlike WUWT, or BishopHill, or a variety of minor blogs…
Mais où sont les neiges d'antan! Did you know that "Antan", though it now means "yesteryear" (which was itself coined to translate "antan") formerly meant "last year", as a contraction from the latin "ante annum"? Fascinating, eh. But not as fascinating as poking at the innards of dead things.…
In my Where are they now? review of 2014, I unforgiveably forgot the sensation of the year, Force X from outer space. Its worth reviewing, because (a) its not quite dead yet (or perhaps more accurately its proprietors haven't yet given up hope of revivifying it) and (b) the original played out for…
What do you want to bet that Evans' papers are "published" in one of those predatory open access journals?
And what about the paper behind the Watts' study presented at last fall's AGU meeting?

I almost dropped a note on Watts et al here or at Veev's, but the one year poster anniversary isn't until next month and anniversaries are so much nicer to celebrate.
WATN? A good question for arctic and antarctic ice. What the frick is going on, and why isn't Watts writing a piece about it?
Evans might get more traction by submitting it to a West Australian Journal Of The Philosophy Of Metascience For Authors Not Named Bruce.
Journal of the Open Atmospheric Society taking longer than expected to get off the ground?
Prof. Salby's journal paper, that was apparently " ... in press, expected to be published in about 6 months." back in August 2011, seems to be subject to an even greater delay.
[I fixed up your link. That's definitely another one for the year-end WATN, if I remember -W]
Let's not forget 'The International Temperature Data Review Project' by GWPF. Must be due anytime soon.
I'm sorry for going all tangential here, but in your sentence: "Those who poke around in obscure corners of the wub may have noticed", is "wub" some pop culture reference I've missed, or is it just a typo?
[Wub ~ web, and comes from Beyond lies the Wub, which I've never read -W]
Cheers, BTW ISTR Monckton more recently saying that Salby has three papers in press, but I can't find where he wrote it, but all I can find is a comment on The Hockey Schtick.
I stuck my nose into Jo Nova's blog a couple of months ago where somebody was discussing some prediction or other. I linked to David Evans' prediction of global cooling due to be kicked off by the current solar cycle.
Apparently I'm not allowed to count that as a failed prediction because even though the cooling was meant to have peaked this year, it might still happen as late as 2018.....
