Sent January 31:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Smokey&#8221; Shott tells us that the established scientific foundation of global climate change has been dealt a terrible blow \u2014 a double blow, at that.  How?  First, he notes a piece just published in the Wall Street Journal criticizing the broad scientific consensus on climate change \u2014 and written by 16 (sixteen! count &#8217;em!) scientists and engineers (almost none with actual climate science backgrounds).  Omitted from his report is the fact that six of the Journal&#8217;s signatories have been linked to fossil-fuel interests, or that when 225 (two hundred and twenty-five! count &#8217;em!) genuine climatologists submitted a paper providing scientific facts and analysis of the question, they were rejected out of hand by the WSJ (the paper was eventually published in Science Magazine).<\/p>\n<p>And then Mr. Shott delivers what he clearly believes to be the <em>coup de grace:<\/em> an article from the UK&#8217;s Daily Mail, a paper notorious for its sensationalist, factually-challenged journalism.  Quoting &#8220;fringe&#8221; scientists propounding a thoroughly-debunked &#8220;global cooling&#8221; hypothesis, the article has already attracted widespread derision in scientific circles.<\/p>\n<p>Getting science from the WSJ is as silly as getting investment advice from a climatology journal. Getting science from the Daily Mail, on the other hand, is as silly as looking for celebrity gossip in the pages of &#8220;Global Biogeochemical Cycles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Warren Senders<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Behold!
