Judith misquotes and completely mischaracterizes an essay by Professor Torcello.<br /><br />300+ comments later *not one* commenter on her site calls her out for it (a prime example of the echo chamber on most pseudoskeptic sites).<br /><br />When it *is* pointed out she changes her original text with no acknowledement in the text that the original has been changed.<br /><br />And the short one sentence comment she leaves in the comment #350 range offers no explanation why she got it wrong or even any admission that she did get it wrong.<br /><br />Why isn't Just Asking just asking Judith about *her* policies?

This is another lesson in how despicable disinformers like Just Asking operate.<br /><br />Just Asking referred to an article at Bishop Hill - <a href="https://archive.today/KX2BV" rel="nofollow">archived here</a>. There are a few points that struck me.<br /><br /><b><i>First</i></b> of all, why didn't Just Asking refer to <a href="https://archive.today/KX2BV#selection-5137.0-5159.9" rel="nofollow">John Cook's comment and explanation</a> on that same web page:<br /><br /><i>BH, no, I don't cook any books. How SkS works is that the rebuttals to climate myths are organized as an encyclopedic reference, as opposed to blog posts which are more like snapshots in time. This means I regularly update old rebuttals when new data is released or when new papers are published. In this case, I updated my original rebuttal of the "Antarctica is gaining ice" myth with the latest GRACE data from Velicogna 2009 and while I was at it, also incorporated references to a number of other papers, trying to give a broad overview of what the peer-reviewed science had to say about what was happening in Antarctica.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>When I posted the responses to those particular comments, I mistakenly thought they were comments to the updated post (SkS is a big site so I don't keep track of all the comments as they come in). So in responding to the commenters, thinking they hadn't read the updated article, I was unfair to them. It was an honest mistake but I'm a little annoyed with myself for making it because the focus on the timing of comments and responses distracts attention from the science discussed: Antarctic land ice is shrinking at an accelerating rate but Antarctic sea ice is increasing despite the fact that the Southern Ocean is warming faster than the rest of the world's oceans. This information is accurate, derived from peer-reviewed research, as SkS's main commitment is to maintain fidelity to the peer-reviewed literature.</i><br /><i>Sep 21, 2011 at 12:36 AM | Unregistered CommenterJohn Cook</i><br /><i><br /></i><b><i> Second</i></b> of all,<b><i> deceitful Just Asking:</i></b><br /><br />Why didn't Just Asking accept the correction and point out that John Cook from SkepticalScience <a href="https://archive.today/KX2BV#selection-5137.0-5159.9" rel="nofollow">responded almost immediately</a>, as soon as possible after investigating the matter. Not only explaining how <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110901232927/http://www.skepticalscience.com/antarctica-gaining-ice.htm" rel="nofollow">the mistake</a> occurred but correcting it <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110924030019/http://www.skepticalscience.com/antarctica-gaining-ice.htm" rel="nofollow">as soon as it was discovered</a>. Unlike Just Asking's disinformation websites.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>Third</i></b> of all, <b><i>double standards from Just Asking, plus more deceit</i></b><br /><br />Why didn't Just Asking castigate Bishop Hill for <a href="https://archive.today/KX2BV" rel="nofollow"><b><i>not</i></b> updating the article</a> with John Cook's explanation. That is what I call deceitful, not SkepticalScience.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>Fourth</i></b> of all - <b><i>Just Asking admits to preferring disinformation about climate science</i></b><br /><br />I've already mentioned. Why, given that SkS bends over backwards to be factual, does Just Asking prefer the known disinformation website run by Judith Curry.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>Fifth</i></b> of all - <b><i>dubious Just Asking - more double standards</i></b><br /><br />Why would Just Asking refer to a known disinformation website, Bishop Hill, as evidence that<br />SkepticalScience is "untrustworthy", when Bishop Hill even beats Judith Curry's blog for being untrustworthy.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>Questions, questions</i></b>. The only <b><i>answer</i></b> I can come up with is that Just Asking is a dyed-in-the-wool denier and is in the business of peddling disinformation.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-86783151171987565782014-07-24T16:59:00.290+10:002014-07-24T16:59:00.290+10:00Scary future...carbon tax?

Just asking. From following your commentary, it seems that you've found blogs with the same bias due to policy concerns and thus it's clouding your understanding.<br /><br />Global warming is just physics that all. Simply put if there was no CO2, the planet would be frozen. Now, realize that CO2 jumped by 40% over the last 150 years after being relatively constant for thousands of years. Do you think this would have an effect on temps? Do you think it's coincidence that temps rose by 0.8C during the same time period? Just asking.<br /><br />As for Curry - go to this post and see how badly she misrepresents information in govt testimony: http://andthentheresphysics.wordpress.com/2014/01/19/some-comments-on-judith-currys-epw-testimony/<br /><br />Be sure to read some of the early comments where things are shown to be even worse than ATTP thought. <br /><br />Seriously, Just Asking, be a little more skeptical.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-1018930576591631082014-07-24T15:59:50.042+10:002014-07-24T15:59:50.042+10:00Phased Array Radar Systems!
