Toy Story: Mystic Met Needs Swanky New Kit, Swoon MPs

Analysis: The Mystic Met has bewitched MPs who have recommended the forecasters are given the swanky new supercomputer they want. Despite the meteorologists getting 10 of their last 11 winter forecasts wrong, MPs say the Met needs to improve its communication and PR, rather than its scientific methodology. Amazingly, MPs even blame the media for being "irresponsible" with the tablets of wisdom they receive from Exeter.

Here are the facts about Mann’s scientific accomplishments.

Mann has published more than 100 articles in scientific peer-reviewed literature, with a total number of citations by other scientists exceeding 6,000. These would be high numbers in any scientific discipline, and they are particularly high for the relatively small field of climate science.

Another common way scientists quantify the impact of their work is through the “H Index,” calculated from the frequency with which each article is cited. Mann’s H Index is nearly that of a new inductee to the National Academy of Sciences. By any measure, Mann is one of today’s most prolific and highly cited climate scientists.

Mann’s fellow scientists regard him highly, as evidenced by the numerous awards and other distinctions he has received. Most recently, he was inducted as a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, a designation granted to less than 0.1 percent of AGU members each year. Mann was also recently awarded the Hans Oeschger Medal of the European Geosciences Union, a high distinction in climate science.

I'd love to see an "informed and civilized debate" between Morano and Goldenberg, or Morano and Revkin, or Morano vs Goldenberg, Revkin, and Gleick.

@nmrqip Didn't say it was a secret. I'm suggesting Climate Depot sending a message to bury Gleick in hate email #eg
