Most climate scientists wouldn't know who he is. His circle of influence is not large, despite his blog having lots of hits. It mostly exists in isolation from the rest of the world, confined to the wacky world of denialism.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-28296034099062074842017-06-09T23:29:02.274+10:002017-06-09T23:29:02.274+10:00Originally, from what I see from the earliest arti...Originally, from what I see from the earliest articles, Anthony set up WUWT to compensate for him losing a local school board election. I think, but I'm not certain, it was around the same time he got sacked from his television weather spot. <br /><br />He started out blogging about playstation and xbox or similar, and how he couldn't fathom new Windows versions etc. I think he fancied himself as a geek, but he isn't (and wasn't).<br /><br />Then he stumbled on weather stations and was discovered by Roger Pielke Sr (correct me if I'm wrong). He found minor fame as a science disputer at that point, and was still able to get actual scientists to relate with him. Then he found the stolen emails and his blog took off. At the same time, he found it much more lucrative to libel scientists than to engage with them. So most scientists stopped taking any notice of him at that point, seeing him for who he really is.<br /><br />It's only recently that he's devolved into a full-blown greenhouse effect denier. He used to ban "slayers" from his blog, but now that's about all he has left. If it wasn't for the utter nutter climate "hoax" conspiracy theorists, he'd not have much of a following.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-26038109733018849202017-06-09T23:20:51.258+10:002017-06-09T23:20:51.258+10:00It will be the UN, of course - the One World Gover...It will be the UN, of course - the One World Government.Marconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-58311381640063974382017-06-09T23:16:11.674+10:002017-06-09T23:16:11.674+10:00The bit that interests me most atm. is not the Tru...The bit that interests me most atm. is not the Trump/Russia relationship but the Tillerson/Russia relationship. We have the Climategate hack which fits the Russian hacking modus operandi, we have Tillerson in a close relationship with the Russian Petrostate, we have Tillerson's Exxon funding climate change deniers who made Climategate into a thing.<br /><br />And that comes rather close to home.

(Not really.) Not that he'd have had much to rejoice even if May had won outright, I suppose. Every country except the USA (and Syria and Nicaragua) is still signed up to the Paris agreement.<br /><br />Even though Donald Trump's own situation is getting worse by the day, the GOP still have the majority and can continue to wreak havoc there (and elsewhere). Plus, it's the mad emperor who has the nuclear codes.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-51377458157789152392017-06-09T20:49:23.583+10:002017-06-09T20:49:23.583+10:00WUWT is branching out from science denial into bro...WUWT is branching out from science denial into broader reality denial.
