This as far as I'm concerned makes ocean energy content reanalysis a bit goofy because it ignores a factor that's really important when we consider really deep water (that's water down there where those awful looking fish with huge teeth, the ones with lamps on their foreheads, and glowing shrimps live).

JOHN MASHEY<br />“Dr.” Mashey says Mr. Schulte plagiarized my research. He did no such thing. It was he, not I, who conducted the research. “Dr.” Mashey was told this.<br /><br />“Dr.” Mashey submitted his over-long complaint formally to Mr. Schulte’s academic institution, whose investigator rejected it on all counts.<br /><br />“Dr.” Mashey is now himself under investigation for circulating his complaint publicly, in a form in which which inter alia he breaches doctor-patient confidentiality. For this reason, please remove all links to “Dr.” Mashey’s document.<br /><br />One realizes that the news that the scientific “consensus” no longer believes in climate alarm (if it ever did) is unwelcome in certain political circles. But the science is the science.<br /><br />Perhaps it would be better if “Dr.” Mashey were to write a peer-reviewed rebuttal of Mr. Schulte’s paper, rather than interfering in an unlawful manner on the blogosphere, which is not the best place for serious scientific discourse.'<br /><br />I <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/comment/224194#comment-224194" rel="nofollow">commented</a> <br /><br />'1) “Dr”<br />No big deal, but there *are* people around who claim things they’re not… so …<br /><br />I happen to have an earned PhD from a credible university, so I guess I can be called “Dr” …<br />but most people I know don’t. My wife has one, many of our friends do, 10% of adults in our town do, Stanford (a few miles a way) has masses, and then there are the MD-doctors as well. To call everyone “Dr” would get wearisome. Competent professionals with track records rarely care much. Also, I’d hate to be grabbed on a plane to help with a medical emergency. :-)<br /><br />But, given the extreme rarity of “mashey”, I’m really not that hard to find, and maybe that’s the first step for “investigators”:<br /><br />Google: john mashey<br /><br />First hit is a short Wikipedia entry, which points at the Computer History Museum Trustee entry from which I think it was mostly taken:<br />http://www.computerhistory.org/trustee/John,Mashey/<br /><br />In more detail, since it’s been raised:<br />1968: B.S. Mathematics [& one course short of a 2nd degree in Physics]<br />1969: MS Computer Science<br />1974: PhD Computer Science<br /><br />All from The Pennsylvania State University. If anyone is still concerned about fakery, they can contact the PSU Deans of Engineering and Science, both of whom know me.<br />====<br />I’d been recruited to work at PhD-dense Bell Laboratories, which *explicitly* discouraged “Dr” in normal usage:<br /><br />a) With so many PhDs, calling us all “Dr” would just waste a lot of time.<br />b) But mainly, because what you accomplished was more important than the title.<br />c) About the only mention of degrees was in external articles, but even there, a bio would say “…PhD. Mr. X…”<br /><br />Anyway, if Viscount Monckton wants to keep typing “Dr”, OK with me.'<br /><br /><br />JohnMasheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174651130367553996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-5887504050685900282017-02-08T18:23:55.733-05:002017-02-08T18:23:55.733-05:00"I don't know of any reasonable people wi..."<i>I don't know of any reasonable people with PhDs who introduce themselves as "Doctor".</i>"<br /><br />In my experience it's very much the opposite: people who feel the need to emphasise their honorifics outside of a professional biography are almost to a person wankers, narcissists, and blinkered Dunning-Kruger ideologues who are an afront to the very idea of titular respect.Bernard J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16299073166371273808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-16620659570517332452017-02-08T17:14:41.824-05:002017-02-08T17:14:41.824-05:00Imisides is an Australian politician with a grudge...Imisides is an Australian politician with a grudge against climate. <br /><br />Apparently he did a little chemistry a quarter century ago.
