(Like many science deniers, he is of very limited vocabulary. I don't think I've ever seen him use those words properly. That is, the person whose comment Anthony protests typically hasn't lied and typically there is no emotion in their comment.) <br /><br />Makes you wonder what else climate science and biological science deniers have in common :)Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-25830274569542608092013-11-22T10:30:57.545+11:002013-11-22T10:30:57.545+11:00Meyer and Berlinski are indeed intelligent design ...Meyer and Berlinski are indeed intelligent design creationists, in the pay of the Discovery Institute. The one thing I found interesting about that exchange was Harlani's use of the word 'mendacity'. Mendacity and 'intellectual pornography' are the overused calling cards of John Kwok. It would be surprising if Harlani was Kwok, but who knows?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698934106397111684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-73433876274049457412013-11-21T11:35:01.216+11:002013-11-21T11:35:01.216+11:00"...My preferred agent would be a proper scho...

If they had they'd know that it is another nail in the already hermetically sealed coffin for climate change denialism.<br /><br />WUWT is a good justification for the argument for chlorinating the shallow end of the human gene pool. My preferred agent would be a proper school education, but sadly in some cases there is insufficient intellectual tilth for even basic understanding to take root...<br /><br />I suspect one reason for Watts' decreasing stridency is the fact that Hot Whopper and Wotts Up With That are seriously embarrassing the Denialati over there. I remain in awe of your tolerance for the crazy Sou, in your campaign to deconstruct it so that others don't have to bash their brains out on the brick wall of intransigent stupidity.<br /><br /><br />Bernard J.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-26148938740286174912013-11-20T05:14:49.880+11:002013-11-20T05:14:49.880+11:00Thanks, Sou!Thanks, Sou!Nevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413215743703093876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-24552402442325590702013-11-20T04:16:56.303+11:002013-11-20T04:16:56.303+11:00It's hard - no, actually it's impossible -...It's hard - no, actually it's impossible - to see what comfort there could be for deniers in this paper. From the press release:<br /><br /><i>During the Little Ice Age, a period of global cooling that lasted from the mid-1500s to the mid-1800s, the algae’s annual growth increments were as narrow as 30 microns due to the extensive sea-ice cover, Halfar says. However, since 1850, the thickness of the algae’s growth increments have more than doubled, bearing witness to an unprecedented decline in sea ice coverage that has accelerated in recent decades.</i><br /><br />Well, yes. As you would expect with the NH millennial hockey-stick temperature reconstructions. As you would expect with the NH instrumental record. As you would expect with <a href="http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/syr/en/figure-2-3.html" rel="nofollow">CO2 an CH4 reconstructions that look like this.</a><br /><br />BBDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687930416706386215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-29317831264420376152013-11-20T04:10:30.289+11:002013-11-20T04:10:30.289+11:00Sou says:
