Now when I see it, I feel nothing but pity for the author.

What is with these guys!? First Scafetta and West in "Physics Today" on how it's really the Sun, then Monckton in "Physics and Society" mixing it up on climate sensitivity, then Pielke Sr. in "Physics Today" again, asserting that it's not just CO2!<BR/><BR/>Here's Pielke's from his site, in case you don't have a PT subs:<BR/><BR/>http://www.climatesci.org/publications/pdf/R-334.pdf<BR/><BR/>I mean, really! Can we grab some physics magazine editors by the collars and shake some sense into them? How about a few prominent commentaries from Jim Hansen, or Gavin Schmitt, or Al Gore, say, for balance? One such incident I can forgive. Two I can say, ok, maybe coincidence. But three in a row?
