Here is a movie we have seen before. (1) Climate Science Proved a Fraud in British Gutter Press! (Which of course includes the Wall Street Journal.) (2) Wingnut blogs go bananas! ("Go" may not be the right verb there.) (3) Very quickly it all turns out to be bunk, and wingnut blogs don't care because they just don't give a shit, and are also stupid.
If you look at the last link, it shows how the Daily Mail's David Rose has been publishing the same bullshit story for years, with the last instance occuring in November of 2011. It is fairly clear that whenever any temperature data are released, Rose will figure out a way to say it says that we're headed for another Ice Age by next Tuesday.
The quotes from Judith Curry are interesting; here is Judith Curry in November of last year, which is by Daily Mail math sixteen months ago:
With regard to the Rose article. The article spun my comments in ways that I never intended.I do not see any issue surrounding BEST that is in any way analogous to Climategate.
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, catapult the propaganda. Fuck me three times.
Glenn Reynolds though is a Neutral Observer, which would be useful if he weren't also a disingenuous twatwaffle.* No, stupid, the data from the last 15 years does not show a cooling trend. (Omigod.)
*("Twatwaffle" is MollyI's favorite curse word. It is poetry.)
