bloody excellent!
Models have always been a poor substitute for reality, especially the supermodels. That said, some models are clearly more revealing than others, and it is these models on which we should spend most of our attention. What you never want to do, is presume a model is exposing truth. It is far better for the average person to assume that what they’re seeing in the model is a half-truth that can turn into self-deception about the worthiness of the model. It is only through laying the model bare in the sunlight to invite the criticisms of all that its flaws and strengths are exposed. It is this which we should be doing as often as possible.
/what? I’m talking about software.
I was drinking a cup of tea when I clicked on the “continue reading” link and saw Josh’s latest.
To whom should I send the bill for my new keyboard! 🙂
Sweeeeet, hmmmm …
It needs a front panel peer-review padlock…

You must be in Britain. Here in the USA we have learned that we must also obtain all of the model’s medical records. Otherwise, we don’t know if the internals have been jerry-rigged to present a pleasing exterior.
Love the *Elastic Truth* part.
I might have made the *Hidden Decline* arrow a bit longer (pointing to the center).
Thanks
AndrewWH, very funny! I will add suggestions in to an update.
Stephen, sorry about the keyboard.
Is that Jones, Mann or Briffa?
LOL — great work Josh!
Maybe add a waist band label on the front indicating they are — inside out and backwards ; )
Carbon Brief must be having second thoughts already.
That one got me laughing out loud!
“hide the decline” … hahaha!
There are some great comments at the Bishop’s manse.
But how does it handle greenhouse gas emissions?
Where is a “blocking high stopping trade winds”? 😉
Think this is the MOST ROBUST post of the week! …..the only one without any “adjusted data” 🙂
Great work!
… methane sequestration?
Absolutely classic. What a stupid name for a web-site, deserves all it gets.

To be fair to them – everything is getting through moderation, including links to sceptic sources.
Since this is the first warmist site to allow free speech – I think we should make the most of it and win the argument.
Activating the Carbon Brief could neutralize that funny dead rat smell.
When does Al get a public debriefing?
Josh, I think the full component is referred to the “Pouch Panel Protective Peer-Review Padlock”. It is an erm… combination lock.
How about an extreme event leaking out of the briefs?
Does it have low alibido?
What up Josh, who you is!
Love the cartoons man. I am thinking about starting a site titled “realclimate2” and the objective of the site will be to ridicule the grand dragons of the global warming movement and their sister sites like Tamino. They’re all cowards who hide behind walls of comment moderation screens. The way the site will work is I will paste comments from losers at sites like realclimate and spin topics off the comments like why the people are such losers and cowards. Unlike those sites, there will be no moderation whatsover, unless the FBI comes directly to my house and threatens to put me in jail. Seriously, I want an anything goes site, complete with swearing and personal attacks. I find it insulting to my intelligence that a portion of my tax dollars go to funding a sham site like realclimate. But unlike those cowards, I will let them respond on my site. Anyone who is interested, please let me know. I’m going to bother doing it unless I have some interest. Josh, I have some great cartoon suggestions.
