It even made Pielke Sr react, despite his busy schedule moving the goalposts regarding his comments on sea ice.<br /><br />MarcoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-47240831818004696502012-04-25T09:25:00.535-04:002012-04-25T09:25:00.535-04:00"Use the Farce, Luke"

Oh the surface, very obvious, to establish themselves as the voice of the middle, but if you look carefully at their position, to be in the middle they have to help shift the Overton window so that the real middle, the Barts and the MTs are on one fringe and the Sky Dragons on the other. </em><br /><br />The middle is IPCC AR4 until such a time as IPCC AR5 arrives. The lukewarmers position themselves just on the cool side of IPCC AR4 and will benefit if observations or new modeling run a little cool of IPCC AR4.<br /><br />Had the 'establishment' been successful in joining forces with them, together they could have squashed the 'AGW is a hoax' meme. But ultimately, that isn't/wasn't in the cards because 1) the lukewarmers share the same goal as denialists (kill carbon taxes) and 2) there is little glory in defending orthodoxy (much more satisfying being a part of the ragtag rebel forces when there is no actual blood in the game).<br /><br />From my perspective, the 'establishment' had little desire to coopt the lukewarmers (pitiful, ignorant (dangerous?) amateurs) and any effort would have been made more difficult due to divergent political goals.<br /><br />--DespereauxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
