Global warming and earthly lies

This is how the global-warming community operates. Activists accuse skeptics of being anti-science and dishonest under the apparent belief that they are honest and analytical. They're filled with their integrity until they get frustrated. They say that they only want to debate, except the debate is over. Then they wonder why skeptics don't believe them.

Peter Gleick of the National Center for Science Education: Oh, the Company They Keep - Evolution News & Views

Josh Rosenau comments that, regarding the Gleick affair, "I don't know how this is sitting with anyone else at NCSE." Huh? He doesn't know what anyone else at the organization where he works thinks about the public disgrace of a board member of the very same organization? How totally bizarre!

NCSE staff must not talk to each other very often, much as we're supposed to believe they embraced Gleick without knowing him well. It sounds like an extremely odd and dysfunctional organization.

New Paper “Ocean Heat Content And Earth’s Radiation Imbalance II. Relation To Climate Shifts” By Douglass And Knox 2012 | Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.

“In an earlier study of ocean heat content (OHC) we showed that Earth’s empirically implied radiation imbalance has undergone abrupt changes. Other studies have identified additional such climate shifts since 1950. The shifts can be correlated with features in recently updated OHC data. The implied radiation imbalance may possibly alternate in sign at dates close to the climate shifts. The most recent shifts occurred during 2001–2002 and 2008–2009. The implied radiation imbalance between these dates, in the direction of ocean heat loss, was −0.03 ± 0.06 W/m2, with  possible systematic error of [−0.00,+0.09] W/m2.”
