Pielke's work on climate change has taken a beating from Dr. Stephen Schneider, who said that with Pielke "one consistent pattern emerges-he is a self-aggrandizer who sets up straw men, knocks them down, and takes credit for being the honest broker to explain the mess-and in fact usually adds little new social science to his analysis. http://www.hillheat.com/articles/2012/07/31/stephen-schneiders-criticism-of-roger-pielke-jr-a-self-aggrandizer-trickster-and-careerist
UPDATE: The spambots got clever so the verification is back. Apologies

ReplyDeleteNah, Eartha Kitt's more to Sr's taste and disposition.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought Jr's (And Muller, come to think of it) song was The Offspring's.
Thought it was the Pielke Polka
ReplyDeleteRoll out the babble
We'll have a babble of fun...
Hell, hell, global warming's here
What the heck do we care?
More Mephistopheles than Mehitablel.
ReplyDeleteToujours meh.
The best live performance I have ever seen was Eartha Kitt in a cabaret show in the mid 1960's.
ReplyDeleteShe was electrifying.
Orson Welles called her "the most exciting woman in the world".
Thanks for that!

Has Ethon been following the entertaining Pielke Jr. meltdown over at SKS?
ReplyDeleteI thought Sr's evasiveness and goalpost-shifting was bad. His son takes it to a new level.
