That way, if 'the site that doesn't censor' snips or disappears your text you can post it here and we can build up collection of Watts' hypocrisy and bias. <br /><br />Here's an oldie but goldie, by me posting under the name John Philip (back then anonymity was a necessary precaution), a post of mine that got pulled, with enough of the thread to enable it to make sense … the text in italics was deleted by a moderator…<br /><br />ME: Either Prof Lindzen is unaware of the correction, which I find impossibly unlikely, or he has knowingly circulated incorrect information to support his case, an act that one might normally expect would attract severe opprobrium from the posters of an objective science blog such as this. Neither possibility does much for the pursuasiveness of his argument, in my view. Certainly if the Professor were to submit this article for publication, it would be rejected on these grounds alone.<br /><br />REPLY: There is a third option, perhapss he doesn’t trust the “correction”. I know that many of us here don’t trust “corrections” applied to data.<br /><br />ME: <i>The correction was largely the result of step in the computer code that caters for satellite altitude being effectively ’switched off’. Details were published in the Journal of Climate and also by the Data Product provider. All other researchers who use this dataset use the revised version. The onus is therefore on anyone citing the 2002 version to at least mention that the originators of the dataset have revised it and explain why they prefer the ‘uncorrected’ dataset, especially if the corrected version removes a central plank of their argument. From Prof Lindzen, not even a footnote. Does this qualify as the good and transparent science quite rightly promoted by WUWT?</i><br /><br />REPLY: John I have deleted your response, and I resent the smear you made against me for publishing this informal essay from Dr. Lindzen. You get a 24 hour timeout. If you wish to continue, lose the ad homs. Otherwise off to the troll bin permanently for you. – Anthony<br /><br />Point 1 – anyone seeing Watt’s response would have been left with the impression that I had made some personal insult against him, and engaged in ad hominem argument and trolling. In fact the post contained the mildest of rhetorical questions and no ad hominem content at all.<br /><br />Once I posted the deleted text at The Air Vent, Mr Watts responded … <br /><br />REPLY to John Philip and to Raven. I understand where you are coming from. But John Philip leaves out what he said and what was removed from the original post by a snip.<br /><br />Point 2. This is completely untrue, the text I posted at AV was complete and verbatim. After wrongly accusing me of a personal attack, he then accused me of lying by ommission. Ironically the only dishonesty and personal remarks in the exchange came from Watts. <br /><br />I don't bother much these days, the place is a carcrash.Phil Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744659873337514317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-54280138749217430452013-07-05T20:11:44.681+10:002013-07-05T20:11:44.681+10:00Yes, that Janice Moore is a real piece of work.

Because he did <b>not</b> in fact assume that it had melted "due to the temperature". Rather, Gleick explicitly noted that it was the result "no doubt from some fire...", and he did so before Watts had a splatty hissy-fit about the original tweet.<br /><br />This anonymous numpty seems to have a reading comprehension problem because Sou explains all of this very clearly in her original post. It seems that going off half-cocked is a favoured strategy of most denialati, and not just Willard Watts.<br /><br />Oh, and technically the lights <i>did</i> melt from "the temperature" - a very high temperature. And this was Gleick's point all along - high temperatures are undesirable in the wrong context.<br /><br /><br />Bernard J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-73609878435612235862013-07-05T10:54:32.870+10:002013-07-05T10:54:32.870+10:00Huh?

The homeowner was having trouble with melting vinyl siding and it turned out the problem was related to a window reflecting hot afternoon sun onto the area which was melting. A screen over the window diffused the sunlight and fixed the melting.
