Myles off from the target

Josh of cartoonsbyjosh.com writes of a new climate FAIL entry:

Hopefully you’ve watched the video, read the posts and comments here and at Climate Audit and Bishop Hill. Basically Myles Allen has been castigating journalists for getting Climategate wrong while getting it spectacularly wrong himself. Nice one Myles. Honest error or disingenuous?

When he pointed to the heatwave to Russia it was very clear that he is picking events to proof his argument. Typical, if the non AGW’s point to events that show the opposite then it is weather against climate. You can’t have it both ways, but the AGW’s always do.
I guess we will end in some form of cooling again like in the 70’s (or worse) and the AGW believer will still find a way to drive their CO2 agenda.

An honest error is an error made without malice or forethought.
Whereas Myles Allen’s utterances could charitably be said to be made without malice or forethought, an “Honest error” also implies that the speaker is aware of what the correct position is.
From Myles Allen’s presentation it is abundantly clear that he has not the foggiest idea that he has made any error at all or has the slightest notion of what the truth is. This was perhaps without malice but certainly without any intelligent thought either.
Now Myles Allen has taken to accusing the Bish “of trawling through the YouTube video of him to find the least flattering image possible”. How pathetic.
This talk could not possibly cause a less flattering image of him.

Very good, Josh, but something is missing – he looks too normal. Perhaps a ballet slipper on his head, tiara-like, and indicative of the fancy footwork he’s brought to the subject. In fact we can probably come up with a list of foot gear for each of the Team members, appropriate to their unique contributions to the sham.

Josh, I haven’t seen it mentioned here or elsewhere.
Your image of Myles Allen with his eyes closed is a keynote in your graphic. He seems to be willfully blind and needs to open his eyes to that which he is so poorly attempting to misdirect. He would see that he has been tossed under the bus for ‘the cause’ by trying such a fools errand. There is probably no remedy for willful blindness.
