highyl instructive episide in the mind of Judith.
Just like inpolitics, you see people switch from rabid Marxists to ‘neo-cons’ – they have a pnchant for extreme positions, and make switches which are apprarently polar opposites, but are just different sides of the same coin.
Judith went from publicly abusing anti-consensus types, to publicy abusing consensus types.
Same approach, same underlying vlaues, same outcome.
Leopard. Spots.
He’s a vicious little rabbette, Judith. No need to spare his feelings.
The PDO’s and solar lulls used to be dips, but now they are just pauses. It’s to do with the background trend.
Thanks for the insight into la-la land, Michael.
Steve McIntyre too has gone to sports, deflategate. Is there an exodus of skeptics?
AK,
\Earlier this evening, I posted a detailed post relating to Sidles’ Ph.D. and his recent “research”: it seems, alas, to have disappeared. I do not know if this is a website malfunction or if Judith does not want facts about John posted here.
I will not try to repost that post right now, but will merely say that anyone who wants to know what John has been doing should look over Roles of Universality and Naturality in Performative Service to Regenerative Medicine: The ISH/UW/St Martin’s Soldier Healing Seminar (SHS) ( a.k.a., the “Green Sheets” of the ISH/UW/St Martin’s varietal thermodynamics seminar).
Something is very, very, very wrong with John’s “work.”

Trying to ‘out’ anonymous commenters or criticizing what a commenter does off blog is against blog rules. If a commenter brings up their own credentials in a directly relevant context, then the topic is fair game.
John,
As I pointed out above, if you had bothered to read the post you linked to, you would see that the poster presents strong evidence that the accusations were just an outburst from an angry ex-wife.
I knew Dick Feynman over several years, and had a chance to see him on a weekly basis.As the post you linked to pointed out, Dick voted Republican, at least according to his accuser. Dick was certainly not an unthinking ideologue of any stripe; most specifically, he was certainly not a leftist. His views leaned in a moderate to conservative/libertarian direction.
I knew Dick Feynman,, John. Stop repeating false statements about a man who leaves you in the dust.
Anyone who reads your recent “work” and who knows math and physics is going to see what you are up to.
The game is over, John.

Judith,
Thanks for your explanation: it is your blog, and you can set the rules as you wish.
I would point out, though, that John Sidles is not anonymous and that I was merely commenting on work he and his colleagues have made publicly available. Furthermore, since postings here had linked to positive reports on John’s work, it seemed fair to bring up other aspects of his work.
But, again, it is your blog and you can do as you wish.
All the best,
Dave
To go along with the big West Texas Solar Boom: http://www.bulletinleader.com/colorado-s-largest-solar-farm-will-create-400-construction-jobs/41211/
And this one about IPCC: http://tribune.com.pk/story/943067/climate-change-ministry-headless-body-grapples-ahead-of-paris-climate-conference/
AK,
To correct a misunderstanding, let me make clear that I was not criticizing MRFM but rather other “work” of Sidles that Judith does not want discussed here: she thinks that people’s behavior outside of this blog is not relevant to their behavior here.
I disagree, but Judith and I will have to agree to disagree — it’s her blog.
In any case, after learning more about Sidles, I have had my fill of him.

A new solar boom is underway in Texas–because it makes economic sense [link]
http://www.wsj.com/articles/next-texas-energy-boom-solar-1440149400\
In the afternoon, the average wholesale power price in the Texas electric grid’s western zone for the past year has been $35.43 a megawatt hour, according to data from the grid operator. Over the coming years, these wholesale prices are expected to rise, creating more opportunity for solar farms to be profitable. And in a heat wave, ERCOT rules allow wholesale prices to spike up to $9,000 a megawatt hour, creating the potential for large windfalls for solar farms and other power generators.
It makes economic sense for those who can steal from us at a rate of $9,000 per megawatt hour.
It makes no economic sense for those of us that must pay that electric bill.
This is asking for Enron type scams.
Thanks Dave, I appreciate your contributions here
Physicistdave, it’s been a pleasure to assist your understanding — and the understanding of Climate Etc readers too — that it’s not much-honored researchers like Feynman / Hansen / Mann / Oreskes who are in the wrong … it’s their poorly informed, abusively inclined, ideology-blinded, and (commonly) irrationally angry denouncers who are in the wrong.
Mark Steyn, please continue taking notes.
“This requirement limits the efficiency of organic solar cells, a bottleneck established by research more than two decades ago. However, Ray showed through detailed computational modeling that a fundamental assumption about the organic solar cells was incorrect, eliminating the need for heterojunctions.
“He kept saying he didn’t need to invoke excitons in order to explain many of the experimental results,” Alam said. “It turns out that the original experiment was misinterpreted.””
“Made-up identities assigned to fake e-mail addresses. Real identities stolen for fraudulent reviews. Study authors who write glowing reviews of their own research, then pass them off as an independent report.”
John Cook should write a review of this……but as Luboš Motl.
The web reputation comes up as Neutral now.
Well, SG is a little over the top sometimes, he is right about one of the tools used to create CGAGW.
The graphic presentations of post 1900s warming show:
1 W/m2 CGAGW (Computer Generated Anthropogenic Global Warming)
1 W/m2 ALW (Anthropogenic Local Warming) – UHI etc. etc.
1 W/m2 AGW ((Anthropogenic Global Warming) – mostly GHG
1 W/m2 Natural Warming from [insert sources here]
CGAGW is also known as “virtual” warming.
Since both CGAGW and AGW are dependent on the CO2 level and ALW is generally temporally increasing, temperature will appear to have some correlation with CO2 levels in PPM, despite the forcing due to CO2 since 1900 being about 1 W/m2.
