Attention is what he craves, best that we not give feed that. I don't think he'll get as must traction as we first feared, as the Independent graph discredits the argument he/Pielke are trying to make. I gave up on Judith Curry a while ago. I don't know what she think's she's doing, but its not helping the cause, or her professional credibility, mike Phil Jones wrote: Mike, Gavin, [1]http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=3116#comments So CA have seen the Independent also. McIntyre's comment about bilge is bilge itself. Some of the other comments on this thread are quite amusing - never did think much of a publication in Nature!!! (It has with Science the highest Impact Factor) - how do people choose the journal they will send their research to! - the suggestion that CA should become a journal that people can reference!!! - the suggestion that McIntyre should write his research up for publication! We've seen what this leads to! What is Judith Curry up to talking to this lot?
