Flavors include:<br />1)It'll all be good.<br />2)We don't know enough yet.<br />3)A miracle will save us (e.g. Lindzen's Iris effect)<br />4)Technology will save us<br />5)We'll adapt<br />6)Oh, too bad. It's too late to do anything now after we wasted 20 years in denial and on steps 1-5.a_ray_in_dilbert_spacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-83638511476506125682010-11-26T00:21:26.973-05:002010-11-26T00:21:26.973-05:00I have tried probably 6 times to get Steen Mosher ...I have tried probably 6 times to get Steen Mosher to explain exactly what is meant by 'Lukewarmer' - I thought he coined the term first. Also tried to get Lucia Lund... whatever her name is, to explain it... Mysteriously neither would. Or not so mysteriously. <br /><br />The whole thing is simply a marketing strategy - something Mosher has experience with apparently. <br /><br />There is no specific 'Lukewarmer' theory. It does not exist.<br /><br />NathanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-67188049681844889502010-11-24T13:23:43.005-05:002010-11-24T13:23:43.005-05:00I've been reading Dr. McKitrick's web page...I've been reading Dr. McKitrick's web <a href="http://www.uoguelph.ca/~rmckitri/research/trc.html" rel="nofollow">page</a> on the "Hockey Stick Affair", and thought I'd share some of his conclusions re: Wegman.<br /><br />"The Wegman panel not only fully endorsed our findings, but also presented a wide-ranging critique of the insularity of the paleoclimate community, their isolation from mainstream statistics, and their hostility towards external review and replication work.

You could tell Michaels was losing when he started jiggling in his chair like a kindergartner who needs to go to the restroom, and gave up on throwing out random numbers that supported his fantasy-view of attribution, and instead turned back to personal attacks on a 15 year old paper...<br /><br />Also thanks for the link to Idiot Tracker.<br /><br />However, you lost a lot of your brownie points by linking to that Lubos rant.

I'm kind of surprised with Bartlett's testimony, it was quite reasonable, and yet his Wikipedia page claims he is a tea-partier and staunch conservative.
