One for BB & PJ: Cambridge Warmists Vs Skeptics

real scientists publish results even if they do not support their pet theories, real scientists have integrity and honour.

B0ll0x.

Some of the most important scientific advances in history were done by those whose research would not be believed - scientists are free to try to prove whatever the hell they want, there is no obligation to publish preliminary research that does not yet prove their point - they should not however fabricate data and publish bogus stuff to get money/position.

Seriously? Watts published a series of photographs of poorly-sited weather stations, satirically entitled 'How not to measure temperature' , in every case the poor siting, e.g. concrete, nearby airport would warm the site. Of the sites with shade or encroaching vegetation e.g.




he showed precisely zero. There was a record number of national high temperature records set last year, on Mr Watts 'science' blog you could only read about unusually cold weather, early snow ...

He routinely posts accusations of implied fraud against distinguished scientists, after he smeared Professor Mark Serreze, Director of the US National Snow and Ice Data Center, Serreze opined

' I have yet to lose any sleep over what is talked about in WattsUpWithThat or any other similar blog that insists on arguing from a viewpoint of breathtaking ignorance.

Watts et al' 'report' Surface Temperature Record: Policy Driven Deception? accused top U.S. scientists of various kinds of malfeasance in the global temperature record. Its central claim was easily demolished - did Watts issue a correction and apology?

He routinely permits bile, and offensive and tasteless comments on his blog - so long as they are anti-climate science, here's one of the more reproducable, referring to a speech by Jim Hansen ,

I imagined listening to this in an auditorium, decked top to toe with Greenpeasce flags & green uniformed supporters, with Mr H wearing a little black moustache & a swept down fringe, thumping the podium & ranting that he’ll give us the world, free of evil oil, coal, gas.

Charming.
