This is so stupid, even I see how incredibly stupid it is. It's like McKitrick claiming that temps went up because 'cold' high-latitude and -altitude stations were discarded on purpose, whereas those are the places where it has warmed most. Baseline, anomaly, they just don't get it...<br /><br />That level of stupidity makes me distrust a person's expertise right away. They do other stuff that make me distrust their integrity. If it were just the integrity, I'd try to look past my confirmation bias and listen to what they have to say. But the stupidity closes the case.Nevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413215743703093876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-39073980615238668692013-12-29T14:21:40.734+11:002013-12-29T14:21:40.734+11:00http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagr...http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=tom+wigley&t=1000&a=n<br /><br />Personally I like Motley Wig but there are some sinister anagrams in this lot.
