This has just been released today, and it carries on the cover a well known USHCN station photograph. You’ll probably recognize a number of the surfacestations.org photos in it.
Unfortunately, I was not given the chance to review this essay before it was published.
There are things I agree with and disagree with in this essay. Regarding the title, I tend to take the view of Never attribute malice to that which can be explained by simple incompetence.
In addition to what I plan to bring to Dr. Evan’s attention I hope that WUWT readers can provide a review of some of the other content.

This is great article . The comments provide a lot of extra information.
It is obvious that the CRU is nothing but a PR agency for the gas, nuclear and biofuels industry.

AGW isn’t about sloppy science. It is a systematic and carefully managed fraud that has been running for 40 years.
Not according to the “bible,” the Chicago Manual of Style:
I applaud your copy-editorial backseat driving. I do it often myself. Recipients are in dire need of such “helps,” whether they realize it or not.
And some errors cry out for correction. For instance, two days ago I sent about 15 fixes to the publisher of Patent Searching Made Easy, in which the phrase “page 116-118” occurred. Actually, as could be seen from the accompanying screenshot of the original text, it was “116-8.” I.e., a reference to a specific page in a governmental patent document. Apparently some copy-editing software (or (gasp) human) figured that a number-pair in that format referring to pages must refer to a page-range, despite the text’s use of the singular. Tsk.
Stefan: I always appreciate your comments on green psychology.
PS: And the book used a hyphen in “page 116-118,” not an N-dash. Tsk, tsk.
Roger Knights,
Thanks for the style info on using capital letters. But really, it’s a Sisyphean task trying to get commentators to use an N-dash properly. Personally, I prefer two consecutive dashes on WordPress, because they cause a ginormous dash [G-dash]. That’s just my style.☺
Even correct apostrophe use is a lost cause.
@Smokey: Thanks for the back-pat. I was only criticizing a book publisher for this flaw. They’re professionals and should know better.
