Trying (Unsuccessfully) to Replicate Lewandowsky « Climate Audit
Is Lewandowsky et al 2012 (in press) replicable? Not easily and not so far. Both Roman M and I have been working on it without success so far. Here’s a progress reportAtheists most concerned about Climate Change? - Rochester Environmental News | Examiner.com
...Atheists are those who believe that this world is as good as it gets. Heaven is on Earth, you reap what you sow, no supernatural intervention, no redemption, and certainly no indulgences. If you warm the planet by burning fossil fuels, you get hot. And so do your children, especially your children.SKS Behind the Scenes – On Deaf Ears « the Air Vent
From the various communications released by these groups, I am regularly astounded that these people think there is some kind of conspiracy or plan to undermine their message. In 4 years I have had zero communications with other people on what message to send for or against AGW! Zero. I have regularly written about the reality of AGW, as well as the fact that Mann’s hockey stick work is a false representation of autocorrelated data. A scientist with a clearer head will recognize that both situations can exist in the same universe. Every climate scientist with some objectivity who has taken a serious look at Mann’s work, knows the problems do exist and are in fact severe. Several recent papers over the past two years have been 100% directed at correcting these variance loss (non-uniform variance) problems. Still, to Julian, these issues are a fabrication by the evil skeptics who’s “duty” it is to destroy the scientists credibility.Climate Change: 'Hoax' Or Crime Of The Century? - Forbes
Errors in a paper don’t destroy credibility guys, it is the denial of those errors in the face of raw facts which does.
One is tempted to say that proposing so colossal a cost for so minuscule an alleged benefit is insane; remember, for plants, animals, and people, warmer is better. When one begins to grasp the magnitude of the burden that people would bear as a result of spending so much to tilt at the carbon dioxide windmill, it’s worse than insane; it’s criminal.

Atheists concerned about Climate Change? Sorry, my atheism derives from my skepticism or vice versa. My skepticism also derives from the fact that I've been a lifelong environmentalist, caring for the earth. The "solutions" to non-problems like AGW posed by poseur enviro-groups pose serious dangers to the environment and humankind (which, I posit, is as much a part of nature as any other creature struggling for survival on this planet). When will these poseurs begin to analyze their solutions more carefully rather than just accept them all across the board simply because they purport to "save the planet?" It's a lot like Christianity giving a free pass to someone like the Reverend Fred Phelps simply because he "preaches" from the same book they do. Wake up people. Your lack of due diligence is doing more harm than you'll ever admit.
