San Francisco Global Warming: City Gets Re-Imagined With A Watery Future (PHOTOS)

Stokle and Burrito Justice have created a map of what the City by the Bay would look like after global warming causes said bay to rise by 200 feet.

Almost half of the lower 48 states set their all-time high temperature record during the 1930s.

It’s fine to have an internal personnel investigation, but if you’re going to then release the finding publicly, but not any other details, it’s hard to see that carrying much weight in discourse outside the organization itself.

That’s why I see little merit in descriptions of the reinstatement as an exoneration — a word used by Michael E. Mann, a University of Pennsylvania climate scientist who, like Gleick, has become a prominent campaigner for action on curbing greenhouse gases.

I urge readers not to get too wound up about this, as there are a couple of potential fallback positions. They might still claim to “get” a Stick using the reduced population of proxies that pass their professed test. Alternatively, they might now say that the “right” way of screening is to do so without detrending and “get” a Stick that way. However, they then have to face up to the “Screening Fallacy”.  As noted in my earlier post, while this fallacy is understood on critical blogs, it is not understood by real_climate_scientists and I would not be surprised it Gergis et al attempt to revive their article on that basis.

Andy Revkin has taken a principled stand, telling it like it is with regard to Gleick, and you know what he gets for his trouble?

Four comments comparing Gleick to Nathan Hale and the men on the Union line at Gettysburg.

Part of me is thinking it's a good thing for Andy to be on the receiving end from the brain dead, social retards, who support the warming fraud.

But the other part is thinking that when Revkin does something right and proper he should get at least a little bit of love from the skeptics. How else are we going to train him?
