The recent hoax seems to have been taken down - sad. There is a story about it at Reuters and its everywhere else.
I wanted to point out something which no-one else seems to have noticed, which was that the figures for the T and CO2 histories were very obviously faked. They were just straight lines with wiggles drawn on (indeed from my memory the wiggles were all upwards, suggesting that they had been drawn by hand with a pen above a ruler line).
This, and various other features many people have noticed, made the fakery rather too obvious to fool anyone for toooo long. Hopefully someone will have another go at something better. E&E would be an obvious target for a Sokal moment, which might be why they rejected the Schulte piece, perhaps?

For my sins, I decided to listen to Murray "I have a theory" Salby talking about his ideas about why the recent rise in CO2 isn't human-caused (note that isn't his most recent UK tour; that's back in April). By all means read my notes below if you're interested in the various ways that he is wrong…
I've never thought of myself as a particularly brave or courageous person. Plenty of things make me a little bit nervous at the very least. But the overt fear many claim to have felt since Sept. 11, 2001 really hasn't been part of my thinking. Let me make it clear: I was angry and sad after the…
Thanks to J who alerts me to this little matter. So, this is all mostly summarised in [[Description of the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age in IPCC reports]]. From which I reproduce:

An unfair headline; but I think it is a known phrase: the "Dumb America" phenomenon, wherein the public has the hubris to believe that they really have something valuable to contribute to discussions that they can hardly begin to understand (I'm assuming that if you aren't part of DA then you're…
I think it's mocking at it's beautiful best! I'm only disappointed that more of the general public wasn't aware of it and invested in it. It seems only this kind of cynical stunt gets through to people anymore.
Funny, though. Funny, funny stuff.

Just goes to show that people will believe anything provided that it has enough Cyrillic and Greek to appear incomprehensibly complex.
