Ignore the frauds (they are in it for the money) and the trolls (they are in it for the sport).<br /><br />A hint was dropped on another article about a study called "The Authoritarians". It has been pointed out that Conspiracy Theorists do rate high on the Authoritarian Scale. Like all psychology studies it is grey, but I think it makes valuable points.<br /><br />PS That Neukom, Gergis et al paper. I had one denier claim that it proved the Medieval Warm Period was global. I told them that it did not. So how on earth do you deal with someone calling black white like that?

It being the holiday period here in the UK I thought I'd venture into Contraria. While the Worrall post produced a fairly sedate "discussion" - nobody rose to the bait I put out about the Neukom, Gergis et al. paper. Maybe I should have used shorter sentences. <br /><br />The other "discussion", or to use Rebecca West's phrase "intersection of monologues" was a gruesome experience. The post was by Watts, entitled "Stratospheric hot spot", was nominally about a new paper on measurements of stratospheric cooling - nothing about hot spots at all, but Watts, as indicated by the muddled title he chose, kept veering off to talk about hot spots, and how the paper said nothing about it.<br /><br />But the "discussion": oh, the bile and hatred - for instance academics as a class (not just climate scientists: all academics) dismissed on the slenderest of evidence as liars with the emotional age of 4 year olds - it was absolute purgatory. I know the blogosphere can be a bear pit, but these denier sites..... Where do they get such stores of bile and hatred from? Especially because they tend to claim that victory will be theirs as the regime of Mann, Schmidt et al. slowly sinks under the weight of its fraudulence and criminality. You'd have thought they'd show some magnanimity in the light of their forthcoming victory, but not a bit:it's hate, accuse and hate some more. <br />I'm impressed that you have the stomach to go there so regularly, but can you make any sense of these people? While the big shots might do well financially out of denial, that's not what drives the foot soldiers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-29887880925906705692014-08-05T03:21:06.936+10:002014-08-05T03:21:06.936+10:00Eric "eugenics" Worrall** is a science d...<i>Eric "eugenics" Worrall** is a science denier from Australia.</i><br /><br />I've got a horrible feeling that Mr Eugenics is British. I think he emigrated. Sorry about that, on behalf of the nation. <br /><br />As usual, EW is wallowing in intellectual dishonesty. He and I have discussed hemispheric antiphase before and I have pointed him at <a href="http://sciences.blogs.liberation.fr/files/shakun-et-al.pdf" rel="nofollow">Shakun et al. (2012)</a> more than once. <br /><br />There's no excuse. Either he ignored the information provided or he read it and chose to repeat his nonsense <i>in spite of it.</i><br /><br />I distinctly recall telling EW not to use paleoclimate as a sandbox for his denial. He's still ignoring this excellent and well-meant advice.
