How science actually works
Since there have been a few heated exchanges between people I’ve both grown to like and respect, I thought it was time for some light-hearted relief. I have a sense that some (not those who regularly comment here of course … Continue reading
IPCC 5th Assessment Review
I’ve finally had a chance to listen to some of the evidence presented to the Select Committee on Climate Change and Energy. It’s long and I haven’t listened to it all, so I thought I would jot down a few … Continue reading

Judith Curry and the Ocean Heat Content
Judith Curry has a new post about Ocean heat content uncertainties. The post itself seems to just be the standard uncertainty monster rearing it’s ugly head. Maybe it is too soon to be confident about anything. Maybe there are still … Continue reading
Elements of truth
Stoat’s recent post about peer review, reminded me that there was something related that I had been considering writing about. There appears to be many climate “skeptics” (deniers some would call them) who regularly make claims about peer review being … Continue reading
