He has demonstrated that he has a nasty streak and is a bully (of the cowardly kind).<br /><br />One thing I've noticed - not so many articles by Anthony attacking Prof Mann lately. Or ad homming any scientist if it comes to that. At least I don't recall any. Not since the latest decision re Mann's defamation case a week or so back. I wonder why?Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-83282752914847513312013-09-06T13:37:38.096+10:002013-09-06T13:37:38.096+10:00I would sometimes feel bad for Anthony in the past...I would sometimes feel bad for Anthony in the past on account of that he's stupid. Then, his banning and snipping started to annoy me because that made him more than just stupid. The clincher for me was his recent video for the doctors where he shows declining relative humidity as proof that AGW is false when in fact he should have shown increasing specific humidity to prove AGW. As a former weatherman, he simply can't be ignorant of the difference between those two metrics. So stupidity is not his way out of everything - he is also dishonest. At that point, I can't feel bad for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-18452210731756498012013-09-06T12:48:23.498+10:002013-09-06T12:48:23.498+10:00dbstealey is rich.

He doesn't even accept the greenhouse effect, although I've noticed lately he occasionally gives lip service to it so he stays on Anthony's good side. But he makes sure to qualify it with "but CO2 doesn't have a positive effect, it might even be negative." He's witless.<br /><br />Love his double standards. He thinks pointing out where Anthony is wrong is a "personal attack" but is quite comfortable for Anthony and all the other commenters to make grossly personal attacks.<br /><br />Here's a personal attack for him - Smokey/dbstealey is Tony's brainless pet hound, whose sole purpose is to growl and grunt when he suspects (but wouldn't have the wit to know for sure) if his master is threatened.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-38581900291042413992013-09-06T11:21:19.935+10:002013-09-06T11:21:19.935+10:00I kind of feel bad for Anthony.

He has to keep the post coming, but he doesn't have time(or the expertise) to proof read or write enough of them. The insects was so damn retarded that even his own readers raised an eyebrow.

I reckon he's every bit as ignorant about climate as Darko Butina and Richard Voisin - who are quite nutty.<br /><br />I congratulate you for sticking it out in that thread, by the way. It looks as if it might be the last chance you have. Anthony can't abide people who correct his mistakes or who understand anything about climate science. <br /><br />As for research scientists like yourself ...Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-2758002531496700002013-09-06T05:19:11.505+10:002013-09-06T05:19:11.505+10:00"The global average surface temperature has b..."The global average surface temperature has been rising rapidly."<br /><br />Only in your mind and some computer models.
