At this point, one of the two candidates for POTUS disappeared from public view for three days, having apparently based his environmental policy proposals on the incoherent gibberish which Tony has done so much to promulgate; and for that at least I think he deserves thanks."<br />To be fair, Romney refrained from campaigning during that time because of the tragedy and Obama, being the President, was understandably given the bully pulpit. I seriously doubt that Romney did anything at all because of what Watts wrote. Watts is a minor player that only we internet junkies know or care about. <br /><br />Rob MurphyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-24815310844717665932013-12-06T03:23:37.726+11:002013-12-06T03:23:37.726+11:00"They are beneath contempt."
Perhaps so..."They are beneath contempt."<br /><br />Perhaps so, but imho they would not give a damn for your nor my contempt. Indeed, for lots of them the whole subject is now just a political football, and attracting the opprobium of anybody from "the other side" is the actual point of the exercise.<br /><br />Contempt they will live with quite easily. Ridicule, otoh, not so much. Given that you now seem to be becoming the world expert on their preposterous imbecility, just keep up the great work.<br /> <br />"REPLY: I doubt Obama even knows my name – Anthony"<br /><br />Poor Anthony has been very shabbily treated by President Obama if he didn't even get a Christmas card from the White House. I personally credit Anthony as the individual who did most to get Obama reelected. <br /><br />IIRC, which is unlikely, Superstorm Sandy hit NYC almost precisely one week before polling day 2012.

I have no problem adding my voice to those above.<br /><br />As to Watts, he's a dog-whistler and libeller of the worst sort - the sort that puts his own ideology and personal interests ahead of the future of human society and the bisophere. <br /><br /><br />Bernard J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-54422172410200715642013-12-05T20:20:29.833+11:002013-12-05T20:20:29.833+11:00The irony is that Monnett had the courage to stand...The irony is that Monnett had the courage to stand up to the power of the OIG and his employer. He took on the government and they backed down. This is just what all the deniers clamour for and when someone actually does it they then jump all over him, as if he were the one in the wrong.<br /><br />As Nick Stokes pointed out, the letter of reprimand was apparently for making emails public - and isn't that also the very thing that deniers keep wanting? The government allegedly withheld them even from an FOI request as described <a href="http://www.peer.org/assets/docs/ak/1_29_13_Monnett_Whistleblower_complaint.pdf" rel="nofollow">here in the summary of the Monnett complaint</a>, compiled by PEER..<br /><br /><br />Anthony Watts and his rabble are fools, have appalling double standards and won't pass up an opportunity to try to trash the reputation of a good scientist if it pleases them to do so. <br /><br />They are beneath contempt.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-38084717916694351572013-12-05T17:58:23.580+11:002013-12-05T17:58:23.580+11:00Ditto.

I've become so used to him behaving in a completely barking manner, it's quite refreshing to see him respond so reasonably.
