I said in my earlier QOTW that:
I’ve seen lots of quotes this week, many surrounding the Gleick Fakegate affair.
I was basically saying that there were so many to choose from in this target rich week, it was a tough choice.
Since today is Dr. Judith Curry’s birthday, (she’s 39, according to GISS adjusted data) it makes this bonus edition easier. Here’s her QOTW bonus on Gleick:
When ‘Heartlandgate’ first broke, I saw no parallels with Climategate. Now, with the involvement of Gleick, there most certainly are parallels. There is the common theme of climate scientists compromising personal and professional ethics, integrity, and responsibility, all in the interests of a ’cause’.

But her microsite rating is Class A-number-one!
Happy Birthday Dr. Curry! (I hope she stops by). You have it nailed- this is the ONLY point in which gleickgate is similar to Climategate.
So… what is the real number, before GISS Adjus- *slaps hands* You! Stay away from the keyboard!
(and, very odd: about every other week, I am unable to comment in here, unless I open a window to WUWT in mozilla Firefox. )
umm so if its GISS adjusted shes really 35 right?
Well said Dr Curry. The common theme is the consistent malpractice on the “warmist” side of this exercise in politics…. It sure ain’t science, so it must be politics.
Fakegate, Heartlandgate, Gleickgate. We have to settledown with only one gate so that the message does not get lost. I vote to stay with Fakegate.
Thank you Heartland.
OK guys she is 19……………………she just has 20 years of experience 😉 happy birthday young lady.
Happy birthday Judith!.
I wonder if she is aware, that according to the chronomeme of her contemporaries, while she may have been 39 for the last few time divisions, next week she’ll be 56, and the week after, 132, and three weeks from now, 357.
[chronomeme – new term: an ideological time period that is chosen to conflate scientific arguments made by climatologists supportive of the AGW pseudo-hypothesis]
I have to admire Dr. Curry. Even if she believes in CAGW she believes that scientists must maintain their ethical standards or they destroy the integrity of their field. Bravo Dr., Bravo!
The problem with true believers in the CAGW Faith is that they do not see any equivalence between their actions and those of deniers. The thought that opposing the true faith is in any way valid has not entered their minds. The Heartland institute is a den of heretics. Any amount of money donated to them, no matter how small, is a thought crime. Any donor must be pursued and made to Confess. Because they hold the only truth, we who doubt must be made to Convert, even under pain of death 😉 The fact that they exposed such a tiny budget $7m, does not compare to the billions they spend because they are right! I think more was spent on the 10:10 snuff film than the whole Heartland budget revealed by their Hero. Lets all take a moment today to give a donation to someone on our side.
Thanks to all for the kind wishes!
Nobody expects the Algore Inquisition :O
Ah, 39. The new 27 (if you count in Hex – works for me! And I’m at the Douglas Adam’s Hex age of 42, so I’m hoping the discover the answer to the universe, and all that.)
Geick Flake-Gate Affair !!!

Happy birthday Judith Curry. Looking forward to many more years of sanity and civil discussion @ur momisugly JC blog. All class all the time.
Happy birthday and many more!
A true gentleman NEVER enquires after a Ladies true age. Happy birthday Dr Curry.
No No no, according to GISS adjusted data she would be about 60. They DECREASE the value of the older data (her birth date)!!!!!!!
she’s 39, according to GISS…
I can’t really add much to this (I’m 36 years young)((I see what you did there Mr Watts))
:0
I however can say that my Dad has been skeptical about his marriage decisions after reading her blog. 😉
Ms Curry, I wish you many more Happy Birthdays

“A true gentleman NEVER enquires after a Ladies true age.”
…No, that’s what FOIAs are for!
JK. Happy birthday, Dr. Curry, and may you enjoy many more, adjusted or otherwise!
Sorry about the Dr. – Ms. mistake, my bad.
#(spin) I made the same Ms take with my personal Doc. It made the annual physical slightly awkward.
She didn’t break out the rubber glove and lube(this year)

Happy birthday, no matter how many years young you are. . . .
and please pass along to your parents the gratitude from the board for making such an excellent contribution to the field of science!!
Happy Birthday,Ma’am.
A lady who tells her real age? Now that is integrity. Really Judy I could have sworn you were 29 … again.
Cheers and happy birthday.
I am reminded of the lady in Ann Landers who was really 71 years old and whenever she went to the drug store by herself, she always got her senior’s discount. But when her boyfriend was with her, she always paid the regular amount.
