At last, the truth

The big climate change news isn't that there is now a consensus that humans are mostly likely driving it. That's not news at all, at least to anyone who isn't paying attention or isn't just mouthing Bush administration talking points. The big news is that the denier group just got significantly…
Scientists in all disciplines agree with climate scientists that global warming is real and caused by humans. The vast majority of climate scientists, very close to 100%, understand that the phenomenon known as “global warming” (warming of the upper 2,000 meters of the ocean, the sea surface, and…
It's fascinating when you catch the start of a new bogus claim enter the denialsphere, bounce from site to site, and echo about without any evidence of critical analysis or intelligence on the part of the denialists. A good example of this was an article by Heartland Institute's contributor to…
An important study has just been published1 examining the level of consensus among scientists about climate change. The issue at hand is this: What is the level of agreement in the scientific community about the reality of climate change and about the human role in climate change? The new paper,…

Someone admitted that your conclusions are mistaken?

It seems to be getting more and more common for anonymous septics to invent scientific credentials in an effort to enhance their credibility, as with our friend DR above. It's a sign of progress.

That RP Sr quote from his Drought 2002 in Colorado - An unprecedented drought or a routine drought? in Pure Appl. Geophys., is the passage I'm using in one of my plans at my new place on the Front Range, to justify lower water use. It's a good paper.

Sorry, I cannot see where R Pielke Sr has changed his mind? Isn't this what he has been saying for years? Can you explain what you are refering to?

[Isn't "my conclusions on the role of humans on global warming, and climate change, in general, are mistaken" clear enough? -W]

Avfuktare, think 'Freudian slip'!

Its a poorly worded sentence. He is correcting the mistaken view attributed to him;

"Pielke argues that climate models overstate the role humans play in warming the globe".

His real view is;

"The climate models understate the role that humans play in warming..."

[Ahem. I think you are missing the joke. Of course its a poorly worded sentence. Did you really think that I thought that RP had recented? -W]

Very funny.

I followed your sense, W, right through to the word "recented". As a typo, that threw me: "repented" or "recanted" could work ;-)
