And it's gone…Governor Brown's office responds to WUWT

Or perhaps the cognosenseless?

I think the correct term you’re looking for is, “AAAANNNNNDD it’s gone.”

illiterate not illitterate. Unless I’m not in on the joke.

Kudos Anthony!!!!
At least the boobs in Brown’s office are responding.
Its a start — perhaps they’ll bother to read Monckton’s post related to the folly of their foolish Cap and Trade effort.

In commenting on another major debate in science at a time when a new ice age was believed nigh Robert Ardrey, “The Hunting Hypothesis” (1976), wryly observed, “Such a neglect of evidence is a hallmark of halfway science.”

In the revised Brown administration position a failure remains of recognition of the absense, in the claims of the “consensus,” of reference to the statistical population that underlies these claims. In this absence, the claims of the consensus are empirically irrefutable thus lying outside science. Thus, the “scientific consensus” of the revised Brown administration Web page is an oxymoron.

This new effort by Jerry Brown to hype CAGW is ill timed for him. The state is on the verge of implementing its Cap and Trade program as an island. This causes great trade exposure issues to those business in California that compete with businesses outside the state. There will be business relocations and layoffs. Also keep in mind the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard that has recently been charged with the expected closure of up to six refineries by 2015 if not relaxed.
Meanwhile he is cheered on by “the Emperors New Clothes” crowd that is likely responsible for this new campaign. I hate to say it, but it looks like Governor moonbeam is back for real.
What a waste of political capital so that he can have a bullet train to nowhere as his lasting legacy.

Sorry, but the definition of “island” is “above water”; California is anything but above water financially (or logically, if you catch my drift).
Otherwise, you’re completely accurate.

Once upon a time, long long ago, every village had an idiot. They formed a union of idiots, hundreds and thousands of village idiots paying fees.
This gave the prime idiots a slush fund to promote through propaganda their idiocy and imprint it on the minds of the gullible and the innocent such as children.
Thus they eventually through deception achieved high office, sadly it would seem that California has elected to office a high priest of the village idiot union.
California is only a state of the USA, for us poor fools in Australia some how we ended up without electing her, a primeminstress of the same ilk. I think Washington may have more than it’s fair share of village idiots also.

The original intent of the Governor’s new web site was to counter the growing skepticism over CAWG. Central to his argument is the “consensus.” Along comes one learned skeptic with an observation, causing them to immediately change the content of the site. The irony is just too rich for words.
Kinda reminds me of “Hundert Autoren Gegen Einstein,” in which 100 of Germany’s leading physicists explained why Einstein’s Theory of Relativity was wrong. Professor Einstein responded, “If I were wrong, then one would have been enough.”
Perhaps the next step is to get Governor Brown to dump the “denier” rant, lest his ignorant tyrannical minions be referred to as “Brown shirts.”

How quickly would they fix the problem if the tool created erroneous lower temperature trends? Funny how they are okay with erroneous high results, isn’t it?

@Anne:
Climate Change Dispatch looks like it’s back with a ‘we were parked’ notice. Not sure about after labor day (mulling it over) so it says.
@Policy Guy and Rocky Road:
Remember that “No man is an island” but some of them are way out on the end of a peninsula!
