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

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
