Plus we have a governor who says Californians are using way more water than state and federal water management officials planned for while out of the other side of his mouth welcomes millions of illegal water users.

The most telling thing about the Nobel Comm. giving Obama a gold star before he actually, you know, accomplished anything is them now admitting it had nothing to do with performance and everything to do with hoping it would increase his political power.

Naked dishonesty and the opposite of science.

[…] human caused climate change is not as overwhelming as you seem to think.  See my recent blog post The conceits of consensus, which includes a detailed analysis of an extensive survey of climate scientists (not to mention […]

From my about page:

Climate Etc. provides a forum for climate researchers, academics and technical experts from other fields, citizen scientists, and the interested public to engage in a discussion on topics related to climate science and the science-policy interface.

That is why I blog. I hope that my blog will help individuals in political, economic and social institutions understand the complexity of climate science and the surrounding issues.

My interests are issues at the science-policy interface (e.g. uncertainty). I do not advocate for specific policies for many reasons, notably because I don’t have any particular preference or wisdom in this regard.

Science died when the IPCC was born. There is no land/sea data that can be trusted. All of this is a mockery of science. They should all be ashamed of themselves. I am totally disgusted.

agnostic –

This will never be resolved. I think that Judith’s distinctions and definitions w/r/t advocacy are highly subjective and obviously self-serving.

IMO, she clearly advocates for adaptation vs. mitigation just as other scientists advocate for mitigation vs. adaptation. She testifies before Congress at the behest of politicians, for god’s sake. And yes, in her testimony she selectively addresses uncertainty which is, IMO, the most problematic form of advocacy.

But I have no problem, whatsoever, with her being an advocate. Advocacy is a fundamental right and a key component of our society. My criticism is that the fact of advocacy should not be used as a bludgeon in the climate wars to advance partisan agendas. That problematizes advocacy in a way that I feel is counterproductive.

“The Big Tobacco playbook looked something like this: (1) pay scientists to produce studies defending your product; (2) develop an intricate web of PR experts and front groups to spread doubt about the real science; (3) relentlessly attack your opponents.”

That actually resembles the mainstream AGW playbook. This post is about ratcheting up (3).

“Nope. I clearly defined what I meant by advocacy, and my recent statements on those subjects are not advocacy.”

What a joke. You spent at least half a weekend advocating for adaptation. Have the guts to admit it, or else I’ll have to dig up the links.

If you think you’re the only one not advocating, you are blind, and seriously need to take a deeper look at yourself.

Now, go ahead and snuff out this comment, like you do many of my others.

“The UK group does a reasonably careful job of addressing errors, however here is what they miss. The size of the adjustments (at individual locations) matters, and should be included as part of the uncertainty.”

I responded to this — Judith, you blocked my comment.

What are you so afraid of, Judity? You’re a professional climate scientist. I’m a freelance writer.

Why are you so afraid of so many of my comments that you have to block them? It makes you look like you lack confidence.

(I suspect you’ll block this comment as well.)

You are writing too many comments. I don’t allow individuals to hijack threads. Make fewer comments, and make them count.

By the way, Judith, you’re welcome to comment on my blog anytime. I don’t moderate, except for comments > 20 days old and then only to control spam, and I don’t fear what you have to say.

Read Pielke Jr’s book, and try to understand the difference between honest broker and advocate. The paragraph you pulled pretty much defines honest broker

I don’t bother commenting at your blog for a variety of reasons.

Unclue is one of those 1950’s robots.

The kind lacking artificial intelligence.

Or any kind of intelligence for that matter

Steven, in Nov. 2009, I made a decision. Your side lost it and you were not required to even be there. You know the real agenda at work and it is all about control. If you have not been reading the current world news COP 21 will leave the station soon without the public. Guess where that leaves us all?

The church is squashing every opinion that disagrees. The church is the Federal Government.

“Fifth, what you have done with this letter is advocacy. This is a very dicey role for a scientist to play, fraught with reputational and ethical land mines” – JC

Unless you’re JC – then your advocacy is just fine, even when you advocate for/against specific policy approaches, which is a complete no-no for anyone else.
