Surprising climate realism from notorious former climate modeller William Connolley

William Connolley: When will they learn?

#5 The one that wound me up: More superstorms, like Katrina. [[Hurricane Katrina]] wasn't a superstorm. It was a cat-5 at one point, but only cat-3 at landfall. Nothing exceptional, except its track. All nature can manage on this is a weaselly Leaving aside the question of whether it was a superstorm - clearly disagreement would be too controversial. Good grief, if you can't get this right, what hope is there?

#6: A heatwave as bad as Europe's 2003 one. Well, it got hot for a bit, then stopped. Another one won't be any more exciting.

Next to Al Gore, William Connolley may be the world's most influential person in the global warming debate. 
...
Connolley and his cohorts don't just edit pages of scientists actively involved in the global warming debate. Scientists who work in unrelated fields, but who have findings that indirectly bolster a critique of climate change orthodoxy, will also get smeared. So will non-scientists and organizations that he disagrees with. Any reference, anywhere among Wikipedia's 2.5-million English-language pages, that casts doubt on the consequences of climate change will be bent to Connolley's bidding.
