Confronted with crisis, most of the environmentalists I know have gone into denial. . . Pretending the climate email leak isn't a crisis won't make it go away. . . There is no helping it; Phil Jones has to go, and the longer he leaves it, the worse it will get.”
- George Monbiot, the UK’s leading, and certainly the noisiest enviro-waster –
at least he was until the hacking of Phil Jones’s emails – writing in today’s
Guardian.
Yes, Virginia, The Guardian.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Here come the ‘New Deniers’
3 comments:
We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Give Monbiot his due; he's facing the facts square on. The more you absorb the content of those emails and docs the more it's clear the data and modelling methods are a mess and cannot be counted on. This is where Monbiot's fact-facing will lead him too in time, and the honest scientific folk. That's why it's over.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a great deal more respect for the man now.
ReplyDeletePlease check out the links between CRU, NIWA and Jim Salinger (and more apparently forged statistics), here...

Guido Fawkes has it right on his blog - the CRU, IPCC, Gore, et al are global cooling deniers.
