Brief notes
posted by saurabh in Bloorg, Hot Hot Hot Hot |Sorry I haven’t been writing much lately, folks. I got a paper back from review and have been busting my ass to turn it around and get it out the door again.
In the meanwhile, I was going to entertain you by writing about an incident wherein Steve McIntyre (of McIntyre & McKitrick fame) was crowing about having found an error in NASA’s GISS mean temperature records for the US; following his correction (which NASA acknowledged), 1998 is no longer the hottest year in history for the US - 1934 is. Many right-wing blogs are also crowing over this, and asking climate scientists to EAT crow over this, but it turns out to be all hat and no cattle crow.
Anyway, I was GOING to entertain you by writing about this, but Tim Lambert already did it very nicely. Read it!
Hurricane Dean is NOT, I repeat NOT, ripping the roofs off of Jamaica. It’s all a conspiracy by the left-wing nutjobs who want to take your cars and replace them with nuclear power plants.
