Quote of the week – bonus edition

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’.

“…Bottom (wearing the head of an ass): Nay, I can gleek upon occasion…”
Means even more when you use the Shakespearean definition of “gleek” – which means ‘to trick; to make a gibe or jest (at a person).’

Dear Dr Curry. Happy birthday. Should you ever decide to visit us Downunder I will move that you be offered an Honorary Aussie Sheila award for services to science, the philosophy and ethics of science and just being a straightforward Sheila, which every dinkum Aussie naturally luvs and respecks. Cheers from soggy Sydney.

Happy birthday, Dr. Curry. I lurk at your blog and am very impressed at your efforts to find neutral ground on a highly divisive issue.

Since Desmogblog was involved, it is funny to read what the great David Suzuki himself got to say… LOL

I’ve modelled her age and according to my absolutely accurate models she is 117. My models correlate perfectly up until a few years ago – I had to splice in tree ring data after that , but should all be good.

Dr. Curry, Happy Birthday and feel free to “hide the decline” today.
[REPLY: Hide what decline? Every day, in every way, Dr. Curry just gets better and better. -REP]

(she’s 39, according to GISS adjusted data)
Since they use a times three feedback where there should be none or a negative one does that make her 13?

She’s 29.

Happy birthday Dr. Curry. Stay the course you are obviously on and seek the truth wherever it leads.

Does that mean that in Dr. Mann’s chart, she was 40 last year?

Well deserved reputation, Dr Curry. A scientist with absolute integrity; the opposite of Dr Gleik.
