Heh, so is Rob. I’ve been reading him almost as long as I’ve been reading Climate Audit.

You can see from your own Figure 1 that steric is not the same as mass. They are two separate components of the total, like it says.

Ok! ‘Simples’. I think for most people ‘climate science’ is an argument by proxy. I’m bored of that. I would like something more like ‘science’. I’m registering a nostalgia, which comes with age, for the early days.

Comment on Partisanship and silencing science by Wagathon
AGW has long since ceased being about scientific discovery. Its all about politics. That’s why we now see global warming playing itself out as a Democrat v. Republican issue.
Global warming alarmism showcases the self-defeating and anti-American intolerance that is symbolic of the tyranny of the Left. Americans have many rights: some are specifically enumerated and some are acknowledged to have been granted to all of humanity by God, a Judeo/Christian Godi.e., human rights that are personal to free individuals that cannot be diminished by contractual fiat.
Additionally, Americans have many other rights penumbral rights emanating from the Constitution rights that are not specifically enumerated but are nonetheless fundamental to the American experience. These rights are what the Leftist-libs would destroy from within and from without.
The Leftist-libs would use their democratic freedom to deprive others of theirs: using the democratic process to prevent others from employing their own mental, physical and psychic vitality as their own personal and individual interest shall dictate. The Leftist-libs undermining of personal and individual freedom is Liberal Fascism.

Limited resources refers to dollars available to supplement nutrition, provide vaccines and mosquito nets, etc. The very practical nuts and bolts of development.
Not some notion about resources that Julian Simon – inter alia – discusses in a far less rambling, incoherent language and with far fewer eccentric embellishments. Yours is a travesty of English in the service of a derivative style you fondly imagine makes you sound clever.
No science – no policy – no hint of the topic. Long winded self aggrandizement with a scant justification of some incoherent whine about Judy not standing straight like your willow. Bizarre and purposeless – and offensive – oddities all round.

But don’t you think it has become a pretty parse when we must ask the question our host asks – ‘partniship’ or ‘silencing’? Not that I imagine it is exactly like that – what I rather imagine is a vast and ever spawning nomeclature of Swiftian nonesense. A pradigm set by stupidity and unwound by it.

kim, just because I’m one of your biggest fans doesn’t mean I agree with you on everything. But I am one of your biggest fans…

Thank you! You’re probably right. What was offensive?

Well, Wagathon, as a lukewarmer, an agnostic, someone who has left the US (probably permanently) and a huge admirer of the US Constitution, I can only say you’re one of the reasons my absence is probably permanent.
You’re an ideologue whose idee are firmly fixe. You’re actually pretty scary. And I recognize nothing in what you right as based on the very hard and very good work of the founding fathers of the U.S.

I am unforgiving. Partly because I am incapacitated.
Partly because embellishment is to poetry as analogy is to science.
‘To paint the speed of light!
Our weighted shapes, these verticals,
burn to mix with air
and change our bones, skin, clothes
to gases. Doctor,
if only you could see
how heaven pulls earth into its arms
and how infinitely the heart expands
to claim this world, blue vapor without end.’

What I want, Rob, and what policies I have? Let it rip! Don’t interfere in the market, not because I ‘believe’ in the ‘market but because I know, and history has proved this, that any interference in the ‘market’, ie the ‘autonomous’ interaction of human beings has always proved ‘worse’ and worse than disastrous. Your worried about ‘climate change’! Lucky you! I’m worried about mankind.

It is conservative groupthink, such as from the Harper government in Canada, which has put silencing of scientists into law. Conservatives often turn to the coercive power of government to attack those with whom they disagree.

And, yes, what drives me to bed and wakes me up again is this: not whether twelve monkeys will be able, given sufficient time, to write a sonnet but whether we can write one. What drives me to despair, everyday, is that we may not be capable, again, of producing a Shakespeare! What we do will not last an hour glass of a turn in the depths of nothing – this is our stage, therefore, we must perform. No one can clap and no one can hear that clap. Here. Now. Gone.
