Matt Ridley’s first response to my post about his failed prediction was denial:

Graham Lloyd is back with a story headlined “Climate link to Sandy invalid” (Google the title if you want to read it). As we've come to expect from The Australian the headline is contradicted by the story, with both scientists quoted agreeing that sea level rise caused by global warming had…

Yale Environment 360 has damaged its credibility by publishing a piece by Fred Pearce claiming:
