However inconceivable it may seem, ethanol has managed to earn itself another enemy.Rep. Ed Markey: 'Language Intelligence Is GPS For Modern Day Communicators' | ThinkProgress
To service-station owners, refiners, vintage-car collectors, economists and car manufacturers themselves, add motorcycle riders.
Joe’s language is language for the average Joe. Not typically what one would expect from a writer with a Ph. D in physics from MIT. Joe also happens to be one of the world’s foremost experts in climate change, and those who devour his groundbreaking blog Climate Progress have spent years marveling at his ability to give complex science the Don Draper treatment.Models get cloud feedback wrong, but *only* by 70W/m2 (that’s 19 times larger than the CO2 effect) « JoNova: Science, carbon, climate and tax
While Language Intelligence is not specifically a book about climate change, Joe’s frustration with the current debate is clear. The planet is experiencing record heat, droughts, wildfires and floods. Yet an army of the world’s top scientist find themselves simply overmatched by partisan PR firms and the climate denier industry schooled and committed to the art of language.
To help fight back, Joe enlists some of the world’s most gifted rhetoricians: Clinton, Bush, Shakespeare, Churchill, Bob Dylan and Lady Gaga.

Centuries ago, Saint Jerome translated the Bible from the ancient Hebrew into the modern language of the day, bringing scripture from the source to the society. With Language Intelligence, our modern-day Saint Joe Romm crafts smart language solutions for those long on facts and longer on syllables.
Yet another paper shows that the climate models have flaws, described as “gross” “severe” and “disturbing”. The direct effect of doubling CO2 is theoretically 3.7W per square meter. The feedbacks supposedly are 2 -3 times as strong (according to the IPCC). But some scientists are trying to figure out those feedbacks with models which have flaws in the order of 70W per square meter. (How do we find that signal in noise that’s up to 19 times larger?)Twitter / MichaelEMann: @micald32 WSJ editorial page ...

Once again, the "world-renowned climate scientist" offers no specific scientific rebuttals to what he finds false in the papers in question and instead resorts to his usual verbal equivalent of calling the authors a "stinky poo-poo head." If he truly believes he knows The Truth, why is he not calling people out right and left for public debates in which he squashes the "denial machine" like a bug? After so many years of science-free trash talk, you'd think that even warmists would begin to wonder about him.
