Frank thinks members of the media be allowed to defame people.

I think not.

lee to the rescue—now you are really in trouble.

Tree rings started to indicate a decline in temperature (“Hide the decline” remember?) despite measured temperatures showing a rise.

Looks like dendrochronology needs to take density of the wood in the rings into consideration as well as thickness of the rings.

Don’t reply lee, you are banned from here, remember?

The post that 'defamed' Mann.





Football and Hockey

In the wake of Louis Freeh’s report on Penn State’s complicity in serial rape, Rand Simberg writes of Unhappy Valley’s other scandal:



Quote:

" I’m referring to another cover up and whitewash that occurred there two years ago, before we learned how rotten and corrupt the culture at the university was. But now that we know how bad it was, perhaps it’s time that we revisit the Michael Mann affair, particularly given how much we’ve also learned about his and others’ hockey-stick deceptions since. Mann could be said to be the Jerry Sandusky of climate science, except that instead of molesting children, he has molested and tortured data in the service of politicized science that could have dire economic consequences for the nation and planet."

Not sure I’d have extended that metaphor all the way into the locker-room showers with quite the zeal Mr Simberg does, but he has a point. Michael Mann was the man behind the fraudulent climate-change “hockey-stick” graph, the very ringmaster of the tree-ring circus. And, when the East Anglia emails came out, Penn State felt obliged to “investigate” Professor Mann. Graham Spanier, the Penn State president forced to resign over Sandusky, was the same cove who investigated Mann. And, as with Sandusky and Paterno, the college declined to find one of its star names guilty of any wrongdoing.

If an institution is prepared to cover up systemic statutory rape of minors, what won’t it cover up? Whether or not he’s “the Jerry Sandusky of climate change”, he remains the Michael Mann of climate change, in part because his “investigation” by a deeply corrupt administration was a joke.

It took the American justice system 11+ years to get around to hearing the case.

The case is not about the climate but about free speech.

Free speech does not include libel.

lee REALLY fucked up:


Quote:

Dendrochronology has many flaws. At least ONE is the use of some species of trees. Another is trees rely on temperature and water as well as CO2. Trees generally don't grow well in winter.

Dear oh dear. Seasonal variation in rain, temperature etc is how rings are formed in growing trees. {Oops!}

CO2 is irrelevant here.

Where's the libel?

Did the court not say defamation was proved?

CO2 was irrelevant to the 20th century dendrochronology.

CO2 greening? Really? Not more areas farmed? Your paper did state “land management.”

Why are you not getting up Agnes about her defamation of Urban and Kidman in her poo box MRB?

Who is Urban?

Keith Urban (a famous Australian musician,) the Husband of Nicole Kidman, you idiot!

I get he was her hubby, dickhead but I had never heard of him.

Keith Urban is the nobody Australian male who went SLOPS on the Hawaiin born Kidman who admits that she 'slept her way to the top' with a smile.
Apparently she has a tattoo near her crotch that says "Tom Cruise was here."

Jealous of Urban are you?
