Clive H on CO2 denier campaign http://j.mp/DenyCampaign To me, less orchestrated. More simply blog explosion; WUWT didn't exist 2 yrs ago.

ABC The Drum Unleashed - Who is orchestrating the cyber-bullying?
The floods of offensive and threatening emails aimed at intimidating climate scientists have all the signs of an orchestrated campaign by sceptics groups. The links are well-hidden because mobilizing people to send abuse and threats is well outside the accepted bounds of democratic participation; indeed, some of it is illegal. And an apparently spontaneous expression of citizen concern carries more weight than an organised operation by a zealous group.

Without access to ISP logs, it is difficult to trace the emails to a source. However, it is clear that hard-line denialists congregate electronically at a number of internet nodes where they engage in mutual reinforcement of their opinions and stoke the rage that lies behind them.

WUWT Giving Thanks 12/31/2007

"Then there’s all the other blogs and newspaper authors out there that have promoted what I’m doing. Joe D’Aleo of ICECAP comes to mind, and does Barry Hearn and Steve Milloy of JS for publishing my “How not to measure temperature” series, and Kate from Small Dead Animals for being a regular traffic driver. There’s Evan Jones, who is my most prolific and enthusiast commenter, along with regulars George M., Papertiger, Larry Sheldon, and Stan Needham. Let’s not forget Steven Mosher and Jeez, for putting up with my silly rants at dinner with Mac at AGU. Jeez also footed the dinner bill, and so deserves double thanks."
