For giggles Eli went and looked up Chris Monckton's record. Chris has been bragging on how he is " the author of numerous peer-reviewed papers on climate change" in the Augusta Free Press. That Chris writes a lot on climate change and other things like miracle cures for everything is not under question. How much of it appears in the peer reviewed scientific literature is another. The answer is not a drop, or maybe one. Here is the Scopus report.

ReplyDeleteThat's the W Soon who published w/o indicating that his source of funding was ff companies?
Impressive.
52 citations! Goodness gracious me!
ReplyDeleteAnd here was I thinking he was a complete joke, when in fact he is an incomplete joke. Apologies Bjorn.
PG, why did you think Lomborg went into denial? He's not competent enough to get anywhere on his own, so he says what powerful people want to hear so he can get their cash spent on bribing politicians to spend taxpayer money getting him a cushy job with tenure and government handouts and no responsibility.
ReplyDeleteI wrote a very lucid and educational treatise explaining why Ramstorf was wrong, but it didn't get through the censors. I guess he hates Lomborg.
ReplyDeleteNo you didn't fern.
ReplyDeleteYou were hallucinating. Because your imagination, populated with scary environmentalists and an elitist NWO conspiracy conspiring against you is so much more satisfying than the reality where you're a moron with nothing to say.
Mr. profile said... 77 of the the last thread's 130 comments.
ReplyDeleteAnd the value of that one you did there was 0.
ReplyDeleteYet you appear to have put a hell of a lot of effort into it.
Clearly the problem with your statistic cannot be that it is wasting your time...
I find it extraordinary that the Australian government would offer him $4 million on the basis of 54 WoS citations and an H index of 3.
ReplyDeleteAt most Australian universities one would need to have at least ten times the value for each to be in the running for a grant that size, and preferably have a citation count around 100 times as great.
It goes to illustrate the ideological partisanship - and indeed the seeming corruption - of the Australian federal government.
" I find it extraordinary that the Australian government would offer him $4 million on the basis of 54 WoS citations and an H index of 3."
ReplyDeleteIt's not Tony's money. And he wants to give him the job.
Nuff said.
"I wrote a very lucid and educational treatise explaining why Ramstorf was wrong, but it didn't get through the censors. I guess he hates Lomborg."
ReplyDeletebut it was too long to fit into the margins of this book
No, it was just "I like his ideas, you just hate him" and it got through these "gatekeepers".
ReplyDeleteThe computer is your friend.
ReplyDelete"The computer is your friend."
ReplyDeleteThat depends on the value of "you".
anthrosciguy: The computer is everybody's friend! Please report to security to disintegration, and have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteafeman, obviously your problem can't be wasting other people's time. Not even if it's someone else doing it other than you.
ReplyDeleteFrom now on I will refer to Monckton as Cited 1 Time of Brenchley
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll all join me
How about "Froggie"?
ReplyDeleteWe can then sing him a seranade:
Oh Froggie went a-counting and he did lie
Mmm Hmm
Oh Froggie went a-counting and he did lie
Mmm Hmm
Oh Froggie went a-counting and he did lie
He put it right up there on that slide
Oh Froggie went a-counting and he did lie
Mmm Hmm.
No Eli, it wasn't the length. It was the contents. The guy likes having an echo chamber in his blog. If he wasn't so focused on running a propaganda site he would let. Y comments through and then try to take them apart. The funny part is I increase traffic with my comments. People like "Booger profile" really get off calling me a moron, others come back to see if I responded to his insults. But as you know, I'm for world peace, human rights, and corn syrup-free food.
ReplyDelete" No Eli, it wasn't the length. It was the contents. "
ReplyDeleteSo the contents of the empty box you typed the above in would not accept your self-identified "very lucid and educational treatise explaining why Ramstorf was wrong" because of...? What?
And Stephan doesn't patrol this blog gatekeeping your comments. So that can't be the reason.
Oh, and sorry, I'll get right on to insulting you. When you're done doing it to yourself. No need to over-egg the pudding,.
Of course, you DO realise by calling me "booger profile" you're now making me more important, and making others come back to read my responses, if any, to those "insightful" insults.
ReplyDeleteYou're playing right into my nefarious hands.
"Bwahahahahah!" I believe it goes.
Oh, come on Fernando, you probably just f'd up the RC commment process by forgetting to enter your name or email addy in your haste to post your "devastating" take down.
ReplyDeleteThen again, maybe Stefan has even less tolerance for your nonsense than Tamino does.
Oh, no, Jim, he DID post his opus magnum on the RC site. You can go see it. I paraprhased it above, though as you can see if you look yourself, I did have to condense it quite severely to get it to fit in this tiny little text box:
ReplyDelete"I like his ideas. You just hate him".
Cmon FL,
ReplyDeleteYou are a regular in the burrow and the head rabbit has invited you to post your comment here.
Shouldn't FL comment be in the bore hole (the RC deleted comments section)? There are recent comments there but cant see FL there.
ReplyDeleteMatt, he is there:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2015/08/bjorn-lomborg-just-a-scientist-with-a-different-opinion/comment-page-2/#comment-635518
BP, I'm giving Fernando the benefit of the doubt here (though I don't know why) and assuming that he posted another comment in that RC thread. If so, because there is none in The Bore Hole, as Matt pointed out, either Fern f'd up the comment process or he used some word combination that was snared by the RC spam filters. I've already mentioned a third possibility.
ReplyDeleteIt's the right name, though. And it has to be SOMEWHERE since Fern insists they tried.
ReplyDeleteSo it's somewhere there, and this is the right name. And it's said the same damn thing the dribbling buffoon has said here on the subject.
BP, is it really that hard to simply let it go?
ReplyDeleteWhat?
ReplyDeleteLet what go?
Why?
I heard the joke about the Foo Bird over three decades ago.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a dude with a lute, was it? Because that's a Foo BARD.
ReplyDeletewha wha whaaa.
ReplyDeleteIt is the definitive 14 yr old male joke
Don't be sexist. Women find fart jokes funny too. Until they're indoctrinated into the idea that they're "too mature" for that sort of thing, then they suppress it.
ReplyDeleteA baby girl in the bath will find her farting in it JUST AS FUNNY as a baby boy.
It takes time for
a) society to tell them they're not allowed to be amused by something so "immature"
b) society to tell them they should now be "more mature than that"
Worst is, they'll be told they're too mature for that whilst saying they're still too immature to be adult. No wonder teens are so naffed off with grown ups.
