Egyptian River Roundup

I don't want Lumo to feel neglected, so let me just mention that he has a roundup of denialist stuff up right now - or at least a few tidbits. Pride of place goes to Timothy Ball, who touts himself as the first Canadian Ph.D. in Climatology - apparently having gotten his degree sometime in the first half of the last century. A quick check of Google Scholar seems to show that he, or some similar named fellow, has written a bit about CO2 uptake by pine trees. Perhaps fittingly, his rant (follow the link to Lumo), is full of sound and fury but utterly devoid of relevant criticism. He complains, but never explains. No piece of logic or experimental information flows from his keyboard.

Getting a lower billing, but with slightly more content, is a ten-part newspaper (if I may so dignify a Murdoch propaganda sheet) series on great living climate deniers. This series was put together by Lawrence Solomon, and energy industry flack, and has the advantage of variety. His list of deniers has a statistician who knows nothing about climate, and economist who knows nothing about climate, assorted astrophysicists who don't know much and even one genuine physical climate guy - remove the blindfold please - yep, it is indeed our old buddy, the Ryan Seacrest of climatology, Prof. Richard Lindzen of MIT - suck on that Techies.

Those who care should consult the article, via Lumo. Some are kind enough to provide predictions (cooling on the way!), others just claim GW is good for you.
