It would have been nice to tag-team though. <br /><br />Eli:<br /><br />It would be nice to speak to Dr. Jekyll but I fear mentioning "teh mitigationz" to RPJr will transform him to Mr. Hyde, as Joe Romm has observed. In that case, Ethon's advice would be heeded. <br /><br />DeepClimate:<br /><br />Good point about Klotzbach but isn't it more relevant to address it to Sr instead of Jr? I'd rather ask questions about his framing of uncertainty.<br /><br />Anon:<br /><br />Ouch. Yes, Megan the friendly and probably fictitious undergrad, and her unpaired t-test for temperatures of different planets... <br /><br />Thanks for all the suggestions. I may also ask RPJr why he is so nice to climate contrarians relative to the smears he throws at Joe Romm, Tim Lambert, James Annan, Gavin Schmidt, Al Gore, James Hansen...Thadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-33304276065628643602009-10-23T11:02:03.416-04:002009-10-23T11:02:03.416-04:00This was the one! http://sciencepolicy.colorado.e...This was the one! http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/archives/prediction_and_forecasting/001431the_helpful_undergra.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-58055390757222462862009-10-23T10:57:42.316-04:002009-10-23T10:57:42.316-04:00My favorite RP post was the one where he started &...My favorite RP post was the one where he started "I asked an undergrad in to teach me some statistics" to show just how wrong some other use of statistics was, and then proceeded to get everything wrong, just digging himself in further and further...

In fact, climate models and basic physics imply no whatsoever over land and enhanced amplification over oceans, completely negating the original analysis.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-28216966131307244662009-10-22T13:22:43.510-04:002009-10-22T13:22:43.510-04:00Eli thinks the trick with Roger is to force him to...Eli thinks the trick with Roger is to force him to be the good Roger. Something like you have said on many occasions that adaptation without mitigation is futile, so what mitigations can we undertake now that would be effective enough to help.<br /><br />Another tack is to point out that he confuses mitigations and adaptations. For example, CO2 sequestration is not an adaptation as it removes CO2 from the atmosphere. You can refer to the <a href="http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/wg3/ar4-wg3-spm.pdf" rel="nofollow"> summary for policy makers</a> for WGIII table SPM3 to start.<br /><br />OTOH, Ethon recommends flinging a relish pie at him and pecking away.EliRabetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957002964638398767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-15844376804823282982009-10-22T11:23:04.992-04:002009-10-22T11:23:04.992-04:00When's the lecture & what's the buildi...When's the lecture & what's the building?

As much as I would love to skip this, I wouldn't want to pass up an opportunity to listen to Mr. Disingenuous himself. <br /><br />Would it be wise to antagonize him by reminding him of all the train wrecks he caused? Should I show up wearing an Ethon T-shirt? Suggestions from all would be most welcome.Thadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-38083424757035449532009-10-21T19:05:51.512-04:002009-10-21T19:05:51.512-04:00Help me understand why anyone engages with RP Jr. ...Help me understand why anyone engages with RP Jr. <br /><br />Is it similar to the old saw "Why do you keep hitting yourself in the head with that hammer?"
