Friday Funny: Zombie head exploders and the new IPCC report

Maybe Joe’s head can be a new source of renewable energy. Just like a zombie, his head keeps coming back from the dead and exploding anew, seemingly every day.

All we need to power this is to write more annoying truths. C’mon everyone, get busy!

Andy Revkin of the NYT writes at Revkin.net:

Joe Romm @climateprogress sees “confusionist” influence in IPCC extremes report. I respond. His head explodes. Here’s my reply:

Joe, it sure looks like it’s you who’s conflating scientific judgment with personal judgment. Roger Pielke Jr.’s involvement as a reviewer of an IPCC report is all about his scientific judgment and long track record of peer-reviewed work. IPCC isn’t a popularity contest.

And I have to note that after months of attacking Richard Muller’s personal passions (which I, too, criticized), you were quick to embrace his peer-reviewed science when it fit your template.

Your complaints are with Pielke’s policy comments and blog posts. If you want to imply he’s been a poisonous force in IPCC, then find the holes in his peer-reviewed work.

Here’s my Dot Earth post on the actual report.

Thanks Andy, for the chuckle.

Either they [the Viking settlers of Greenland] were very clever folk who knew how to do a lot without much to work with, or things were a bit warmer back then.
I would say both these things must have been true.

Stevo aka RW aka village idiot:
It is a shame that your intellect is incapable of constructive discussion. You are probably capable of adding much to our discussions. Instead you demean yourself with juvenile banter and immature snark and childish identity games. Very unprofessional! If you were working for me – Your ass would be grass, on this basis alone. Children do not belong in the workplace. GK
