Today Anthony Watts is sticking his neck out and predicting a La Niña later this year (archived
here). What he's done is copied and pasted the first four paragraphs and a chart from a

no attribution, just an unlabeled link. That means that unless you notice
the link, you might think that Anthony himself was the author (except his writing isn't as good). He's not the author. He has added no original words himself except for a slight word change in the headline. The
original headline was:
COLUMN: How much clarity do we have on transition to La Niña? - Braun

changed it to:
How Much Global Cooling Will We See On Transition To La Niña?
Karen Braun in
her article didn't totally commit to La Niña. Anthony, by leaving out most of her article and changing the headline did. Time will tell if his
prediction guess wishful thinking works out.
