Simply put, a reasonably thoughtful and informed person who reads the Article is unlikely to place any stock in Dr. Ball’s views, including his views of Dr. Weaver as a supporter of conventional climate science.”<br /><br />So, Ball 'won' his case, because his writing clearly isn't credible to any reasonably thoughtful and informed person.<br /><br />So, I assume you also don't consider Ball's writing credible, otherwise you are, according to the judge, not a reasonably thoughtful and informed person!<br /><br />Right, John?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-3016024886305625342018-02-14T13:10:05.522-05:002018-02-14T13:10:05.522-05:00Oh dear, something's gone awry with your Tim B...Oh dear, something's gone awry with your Tim Ball narrative....https://principia-scientific.org/breaking-climatologist-dr-tim-ball-wins-epic-libel-court-battle/John O'Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719257903632828427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-43169856235832342152012-06-21T01:18:45.107-04:002012-06-21T01:18:45.107-04:00get on the proverbial ball guys. peden's secon...get on the proverbial ball guys. peden's second article was a sole authorship under the nebulous title, "Quadrupole Approach". from the prestigious underground Journal of Industrial Research. we should be high-fiving this dude for getting an article published with a title so utterly meaningless that no one could decipher the contents without knowing him. the seminal "Quadrupole Approach". enough fun, i need to submit an article on newly discovered monopoles to J Industrial Res. cheersspindochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313908738544216735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-11151274363535222892009-12-24T10:50:50.327-05:002009-12-24T10:50:50.327-05:00i am enjo your comment. thank you very much

He even was part of IPCC for a short while but apparently got so disgusted with the whole 'fraudulent science' that he decided to reject a prosperous career as climate scientist.<BR/><BR/>He then went on to write as a freelance journalist for various skiing magazines and is now also an online marketing consultant.<BR/><BR/>He looks like a nice guy, he's probably smarter than the average man (as a psychologist I can tell from his site that he's very much in love with himself) but what the hell is he doing on that list? I mean, the guy stopped working in the field 15-20 years ago. You cannot have people like Hajo Smit on such a list if you want the list to be credible, now do you?<BR/><BR/>I forgot to say: Hajo Smit is also one of www.icecap.us's climate experts.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700341256315347293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-80290203994363174532008-12-14T23:11:00.000-05:002008-12-14T23:11:00.000-05:00I'm still finishing off the citation stats of the ...I'm still finishing off the <A HREF="http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/~prall/climate/" REL="nofollow">citation stats</A> of the AR4 wg1 authors, and tonight I'm on the letter 'R'. When I got to Erich Roeckner, granddaddy of the Max-Planck Institute's ECHAM-4 model, I had a little twinge in one floppy ear ... wasn't Morano trying to use his name?<BR/>So a bit more wear and tear on Google, and I found his name in <B>bold</B> letters on this list of "skeptics":<BR/><A HREF="http://www.businessandmedia.org/specialreports/2007/globalwarming/SkepticalScientists.asp" REL="nofollow">Businessandmedia</A><BR/>And there he is again in the shiny new Inhofe 650. It quotemines shamelessly from a 2007 hack job in Der Spiegel. Roeckner 'concedes' to Der S. that "Clouds are still our biggest headache" and that "No model will ever be as complex as nature." (no duh)<BR/>The catch is that those are not the words of a skeptic - they're honest reflections of the limits of the state of climate science and modeling by a really heavy-hitting "alarmist".

One of the prestigious "400" (and what more credential could anyone want?).<BR/><BR/>Casey has not only created credentials for himself, he has also founded whole new sub-fields of science where the general laws of physics etc do not apply(OK, that is not so unusual for Deniers eg Monckton). Casey goes further, not only imagining an entire research Institute, but numerous organizations of which he is the Director.<BR/><BR/>I must confess a soft spot for Casey in that he seems to be intent on defrauding gullible Deniers (redundancy?), and who can't love that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-32831979709590526882008-12-13T12:58:00.000-05:002008-12-13T12:58:00.000-05:00More like foul balls.More like foul balls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-1060890712244211652008-12-12T21:14:00.000-05:002008-12-12T21:14:00.000-05:00One more:"Geologist Richard Mourdock, a licensed p...One more:<BR/><BR/>"Geologist Richard Mourdock, a licensed professional geologist and former field geologist who now serves as an environmental and energy consultant"<BR/><BR/>again it claims he "dissented from man-made warming fears in 2008"<BR/><BR/>yet it also says: "With a graduate degree in geology, Mourdock said his studies have convinced him that global warming is not happening."<BR/><BR/>He graduated in 1975 after which he moved on to working as a field geologist with a coal company and then an oil company and then becoming a president/vice president of a coal company.<BR/>http://www.richardmourdock.com/aboutrichard.htm<BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Mourdock<BR/><BR/>Why then would he suddenly "dissent" because of his studies in 2008 of all years?<BR/><BR/>And here is why he's on the list:<BR/>http://media.www.indianastatesman.com/media/storage/paper929/news/2008/04/25/Campus/Students.Meet.State.Treasurer-3349761.shtml<BR/><BR/>his arguments:<BR/>"Mourdock explained that humans aren't the cause of global warming and that it's something bigger in the universe, such as the sun."<BR/><BR/>"Global caps in the last 15 years receded until last year on Mars, but what do we have in common with Mars?
