illconsidered | October 9, 2009Sorry, I generally like the guy, and I can't quite yet let go of all my hopes, audacious or not, but Barak Obama has not done anything to deserve that yet.

I would like to use this Mars Attacks! episode as an opportunity to close the Mars is Warming too thread.

illconsidered | October 6, 2009Comments on the Hockey Stick is Broken article have really overrun, so they are now closed. I have not had the time to pipe in as much as I would have liked.
I have however seen the requests for an open thread for various digressions, such as Skip's interest in analyzing social science aspects of the climate debates, so here it is....
Given the recent outbreak of Yamalitis, it is probably a good time, too.
illconsidered | October 5, 2009Yet another faux fraud in the climate wars with the same liars and hypocrites piping in.
Real Climate has a nice display of all the hockey sticks out there, and Denial Depot has the most compelling attack.
Deltoid gives us a great run down of the kerfuffle.

illconsidered | August 23, 2009A commenter here brought up the controversy du jour for the denialosphere, how Greenpeace alledgedly admitted lying in a press release. Of course that stretch, (well, it's a stretch to call it a stretch), was further stretched to "Greenpeace just admitted that much of the human-caused global warming hype is also a fraud." Talk about extrapolation!
Anyway, as usual it is not what they would have us believe it is. Michael Tobis has all the details, worth reading. The whole thing rests on the imprecision of the phrase "arctic ice", very commonly used to really mean "arctic sea ice".

illconsidered | August 21, 2009I had an open thread a couple of weeks ago about Ian Plimer's recent novel supposedly exposing the lie that is Anthropogenic Global Warming.
I have not read it. A few commenter's defending the book asked how anyone can judge it if they have not read it.
Well, no one can read every book that is out there, not even every book about global warming. We all have to choose. This of course introduces the possibility of bias confirmation. If I feel it in my gut that this particular book will be crap, I won't read it and I will assume I am right about it.
But here's the thing, it is possible to…
illconsidered | August 20, 2009So this is good news for defenders of the fair use principle.
You can, and if you haven't yet should, watch Peter Sinclair's video demolishing Anthony Watts' surfacestations.org embedded below. Watts' complaint of copyright violation was at best a head scratcher and at worst a cynical and childish outburst but no matter what obviously unjustified.
Watts has a post up supposedly to explain his reasoning, but it is very long and says virtually nothing that is relevant to copyright issues relying mostly on ridicule. It is also rather condescending and smug, an attitude that looks all the…

illconsidered | August 11, 2009At least this is the standard if you are Roger Pielke Jr and the accused is a member of Real Climate. When pressed as to how he knew an accusation of plagarism he was leveling was really true, in his own words:
if the authors provide evidence [...] I'll stand corrected. [...] Meantime, I am perfectly comfortable with the views expressed in this post.
This is how he defends his very serious accusation of plagarism against a commenter who expresses surprise at Pielke leveling such a charge with admitted lack of anything more than circumstantial evidence.
maybe they were alerted by one or more…
illconsidered | August 10, 2009I have mentioned it frequently before, there is another serious problem with pumping CO2 into the atmosphere, ocean acidification.
Geoengineering should never be discussed without mentioning it. The Way Things Break tells Nature as much.
