Maybe it ain't an act
Judy Curry continues her crazy aunt act, which is being tornapartby theusual suspects. Her arguments are so shallow and easy to refute that one is left with the conclusion that she ain't too bright to start with.
I find this sentence of Curry's ... well, curious:
"I will provide a few simple examples of reasoning to compare (I know I will need help here from the logicians, bayesians, and lawyers in the group, but this is a start)."
I'm unable to think of any problem that would require a consilience of lawyers, logicians and bayesians but I sure that's because I'm into old-fashioned science speak. (Learned a new word from Curry; consilience! have to show it off!)
The very fact that there is consilience on AGW underscores the robustness of the theory of AGW and is all the more reason for us to be deeply concerned.
What is Curry's take? I do not waste my time reading the tripe on her blog....she finally lost me when she floated the ludicrous and amateur Italian flag analogy.
Meanwhile ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet accelerates:
Why does Curry coddle denialism? Perhaps she's planning on a run for public office in her (among the reddest of) red state.
Maybe it has to do with personal safety... I mean, what might happen to Michael Mann or James Hansen if they wandered around down down there in the Deep South?

Two words. Socratic Irony.
ReplyDeleteHey. I said that elsewhere, too.

ReplyDeleteTouche, David. :) And yes, I note that more people are picking up Curry's Marohasy impersonation.
ReplyDeleteTime to follow the kids for their Trick'o'Treating around the neighborhood. 'Scuse me while I put on my Tom Fuller outfit on...
Ohhh.... That's scarrryyy....
ReplyDeleteCareful, after dark the reflection can cause traffic accidents if you lean over too far.

Something which Curry, along with Tony Watts and co., is busy trying to distract us all from....

"Learned a new word from Curry; consilience!"

That's E.O. Wilson's term from a great book of the same name, and he sure as heck didn't mean whatever Curry seems to think it means.
Why does Curry coddle denialism? Perhaps she's planning on a run for public office in her (among the reddest of) red state.

If that's a question of personal safety, one might question her of the threats she has recieved there down in the Deep South.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Is there anything to a Libertarian explanation of Curry?

Belatedly for Pete's question, not much:
