No Rise of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Fraction in Past 160 Years, New Research Finds

Geophysical Research Letters and ScienceDaily.com, a nonpartisan press release source, are partisan news outlets? ScienceDaily.com links the abstract at Geophysical Research Letters.

Chris Mooney insidiously conflates two separate, contentious topics.

Judith Curry should get out of the kitchen if she can't take the heat.

...while the controversy has receded, it may have done lasting damage to science's reputation: Last month, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found that 40 percent of Americans distrust what scientists say about the environment, a considerable increase from April 2007. Meanwhile, public belief in the science of global warming is in decline.

Typical liberal slant and refusal to accept responsibility or assign accountability when it goes against them. The "controversy" hasn't done damage to the so-called scientist's reputation. The controversy is a result of the scientists' actions. It is their actions that have damaged their reputations.

The central lesson of Climategate is not that climate science is corrupt.

Ah, yes, it is.

The leaked e-mails do nothing to disprove the scientific consensus on global warming.

Wrong on two counts. First, there is no consensus on global warming, there is plenty of dissent. Second, the emails show just how right the dissenters and non-believers are.

Funny.

I think they need to STFU and let someone who disagrees with them speak up more.

Nazis.

Sorry Chris baby. A “consensus” is NOT science. That’s something that jerks like yourself need to understand. Most “consensuses” these days are created due to the need for another government grant.

So called “Scientists” need to present evidence and discuss possibilities and work with other's ideas not say they are right and the discussion is over. Science pretty much disproves scientists.

Many scientists can scarcely contemplate framing a simple media message for maximum impact; the very idea sounds unbecoming.

That's such crap. These so-called scientists like Mann and Jones are all about PR and nothing else. There was far more PR than science going on at the CRU. Read the emails, man. You look foolish doing apologetics that ignore widely known facts of the case.

[The Electrician]

What a disappointing failure of an article by Chris Mooney. Mooney is evidently not a journalist, rather he is a merely a propagandist repeating the party line in this piece.

Devoid of critical thinking skills, Mooney takes Mann’s statements at face value as if they were gospel truth - he resorts to a “reference to authority”, rather than behaving as an actual journalist would by investigating whether or not Mann’s statements are true instead of merely repeating them. For example, Mann’s “out of context” claims are provably false - but only if the “journalist” has the innate curiosity and drive and takes the initiative to do some actual investigation and reporting rather than merely parroting the words from the Ministry of Truth.

Its time for honest scientists and citizens to tell the “Soviet scientists” to stop shoving their political agenda down our throats in the name of “science.”

They have spoken out, and more and more will do so in the future. The problem of course comes from the leftist shills who run public education. Thanks neverdem.
