Spencer's latest delusions

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Roy Spencer's latest blog entry is pretty entertaining.  Some of the best nuggets:
Quote:

...RealClimate.org, a website whose roots can be traced to George Soros (which I’m sure is irrelevant)...

Awesome ad hominem six degrees of separation comment to star things off!

Quote:
These scientists look upon us skeptics with scorn. It is well known that the IPCC machine is made up of bureaucrats and scientists who think they know how the world should be run.

Quote:
While the skeptics’ blogs allow those who disagree to post opinions as long as they remain civil about it, RealClimate.org routinely ignores or deletes posts that might cast doubt on their tidy worldview. The same thing happens at Wikipedia, where a gatekeeper deletes newly posted content that departs from the IPCC party line.

Of course at the end of this blog entry (and every other I've seen on Spencer's site)..."Comments are closed."  Not to mention the fact that Watts is notorious for removing comments he disagrees with.

Quote:

I’m willing to admit that I could be wrong about all my views on manmade global warming. Can the IPCC scientists admit the same thing?

Yes Roy Spencer, you have a monopoly on scientific skepticism.

Quote:
Year after year, the evidence keeps mounting that most climate research now being funded is for the purpose of supporting the IPCC’s politics, not to find out how nature works. The ‘data spin’ is increasingly difficult to ignore or to explain away as just sloppy science. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…

...then its name is probably Roy "the Quack" Spencer!

One of the more interesting series of e-mails I read from "The Hack" was a frank discussion of John Christy.  One of the participants in that exchange said something to the effect that it wasn't possible to have a rational discussion with Christy.  It sounded a lot like what I say about talking to internet skeptics.  This is not surprising since the mindset is the same, and the only difference is that Christy has a Ph.D. and some credentials. 

I did however, stop reading the e-mails because I felt too sleazy.  It was like I was peeking in bedroom windows.  However, whoever said they will be a tremendous resource for science historians is totally correct.
