At one point Drongo appealed to the ghost of Daly and I had rather too much fun <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2012/12/12/sea-level-rise-acceleration/comment-page-6/#comment-140672" rel="nofollow">setting him to rights</a>. I've not seen these rebuttals to Daly raised elsewhere, so it probably won't hurt to note them here for posterity - if Sou doesn't mind me using her blog as a bookmark! ;-)<br /><br /><br />Bernard J.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-27974943598991565512013-11-21T14:23:55.401+11:002013-11-21T14:23:55.401+11:00It's typical of cult behaviour : the truth, so...It's typical of cult behaviour : the truth, so obvious to cult-members, is always on the verge of being recognised because the conspiracy suppressing it is crumbling, and this belief can be maintained indefinitely.<br /><br />When I first heard that climate science had been demolished the deed was attributed to one John Daly - that's how old I am - and I've been hearing the same claim ever since from the same people.Cugelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-83924343363978523912013-11-21T03:45:53.910+11:002013-11-21T03:45:53.910+11:00Yes, Dan.

Empty, vague and often inarticulate protests.<br /><br />PS Have you written about this, Dan? If you have, would you share it? Sounds interesting.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-24143679159589975392013-11-21T03:36:19.210+11:002013-11-21T03:36:19.210+11:00Many of the comments remind me of what I see over ...Many of the comments remind me of what I see over in the young earth creationist sites, where commenters say that evolution is collapsing, scientists are running from it, the reign of power is collapsing, etc. Other similarities between the two streams of denial are well-noted by now (shameless self-promotion alert---I made those connections well ahead of the curve, and postulated (i.e. guessed) we'd see a similar mindset spillover into other areas of science, like climatology. I had no idea just how much though).<br />--danAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
