Just in case, does anybody know if the federal penitentiary system gives inmates facilities other than basketball, weightlifting, and TV? I would prefer a football pitch.

The ability to quickly assess when you can skip long sub-threads is invaluable. With our hostess’s (welcome) fairly relaxed attitude, you need to be able to skim and catch things of value. Poster names are often a very strong clue as to likely value.

Comment on Week in review – energy and policy edition by Faustino aka Genghis Cunn
The House of Commons Library has produced a brief on the state of the UK offshore oil and gas industries, outlining the industry, the regulatory framework and key challenges for the industry. This is a link to a summary, which includes a link to the full report.

Comment on RICO! by Fernando Leanme (@FernandoLeanme)
I think the suggestion (to apply Rico) is abusive because its main intent is to intimidate and insult. Thus what I see is a rather inmature form of bullying and harassment.
This fits the behavior pattern I’ve seen in my life in settings where racism, political extremism, homophobia, and religious fundamentalism prevail and are integrated in society.
What we are seeing is the emergence of “scientific fundamentalism” married quite often to extreme left and “back to medieval utopia” beliefs. (as seen in “The Leap Statement”), taken to an extreme of intolerance and bullying behavior very similar to what I saw living in a communist dictatorship.

They’ll need to rename the Court. I suggest the Stars-and-Stripes Chamber.

Tonyb,
Sorry about that. It needs WebGL capability, which generally means a fairly good graphics card. Should be OK on laptop with Firefox, Chrome, or even, I think, Safari and IE. Here is a snapshot of trends 1999-2014. You can see that indeed UK is cool, US iffy, but warm arctic and Siberia.

I already gave you GISTEMP. Here is HADCRUT4 without 1998. Still no “pause”. Why are people so wedded to seeing something that just isn’t of any significance. Does looking at this give these people some kind of cognitive dissonance? It’s just not there, people. Give up on it.

Absolutely. Also individual citizens could be misled by the tobacco companies into damaging their health by smoking, but there is no similar harm here. It is purely public opinion and policy.

Presumably you will agree wit the findings of all the climate related satellites concerning sea ice coverage, ocean heights and temperatures? You wouldn’t pick and choose would you and only take 2 out of 3?

Or it may just be a gambit to shut people up with threats. This would work if the people who oppose these people have the moral rectitude of a….Gavin Schmidt. The sheer ugliness of this act (is there a word for the opposite of ‘elegant’ that suggests an ugliness combined with a malevolence with a dash of insanity thrown in?) should be enough for these people to lose their jobs or at the very least to be called in by the institutions they work for and excoriated for their advocacy of ‘thuggery’ in the name of science.

Comment on Hiatus revisionism by Joshua
<blockquote>The fourth argument that President Obama has been using is related to national security. He recently stated:
</i>” Climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security, an immediate risk to our national security, and, make no mistake, it will impact how our military defends our country.”<i>
The challenge to this argument is that the main security issue is the impact of extreme weather events, <strong>which is better addressed by adaptation. Carbon dioxide mitigation is an ineffective national security tool. </strong> More significantly, President Obama’s opponents criticize him for focusing on climate change while ISIS is on the march.</blockquote>
BTW, I love the "more significantly" part. It's a nice touch.
This one is nice.
</blockquote>”…..without the distraction of thinking that reducing carbon emissions would somehow prevent such extreme events.”</blockquote>
A straw man, of course, (who’s arguing that mitigation would “somehow prevent such extreme events?”), but it’s amusing that you think that isn’t advocacy, from your perch as a highly credentialed scientist that politicians turn to for advice…
So no one’s advocating against mitigation if they say that considering the uncertain impact of mitigation on the frequency or severity of extreme events is a “distraction?”
At any rate, I fully accept that you don't think that you're an advocate - despite that even some of your biggest fans acknowledge the subjective nature of how your make that determination. So in that sense, yes, the discussion <i>is</i> silly.

Does it matter what investigation? We are talking politics here not law. Any investigation serves the useful purpose of intimidating your political opponents.

Ha – I have signed a number of “those denier type of letters” and I am a civil servant. So I guess if I can sign on a letter he can too.
I don’t think I could get to the point of calling for the prosecution of somebody for what their reason has concluded, however.
I wonder if John Holdren took a look at this letter and said,
“Maybe this situation has gone a little too far.”
It scares me a little to think that he didn’t

I don’t know if there is a Stadler in this scenario. It has to be someone who is smart enough to know better, that may be hard to find.
