From Gavin, who was being a bit cheeky. Or perhaps given the location, had passed a tippling point.
For those who don’t get the joke, the letters M, B, and H should ring a bell.
On a side note, the balding with goatee/beard to clean shaven ratio at AGU 2013 wasn’t nearly as high as I expected it to be. I’d say about 1-10. It seems to be a trait of Real Climate scientists, tectonic and geology guys, not so much.
How lovely to have three scientific fraudsters in town.

Too cold for sandals I presume?
In San Francisco, yep. Far too cold for comfortable toes without socks at the least. You still see a few “hardy” souls wearing shorts, but even they are wearing sweaters or sweat shirts. I was avoiding lethal patches of sidewalk ice in Sacramento this morning at 10:30.

Have you heard any comments at the meeting about the Bay area’s recent cold spells?
Your comment about the demographics in interesting in that I’ve been looking for the new hatchlings of the Climate Wars and eco-green activism in general. There don’t appear to be any. The mighty leaders have inspired acolytes but no replacements. The succession planning for a project so important – the saving of planet Earth all all in the biosphere upon Her – seems to be lacking.
Odd, huh? Has the Cassandra-like approach of the Gore-Suzuki-McKibben-Hansen-Royal Society become too obvious to encourage involvement, or, perhaps, the Fuehrer-like leadership brooks no followers who might have different thoughts?
Are their tans’ fading yet?
I wonder if et and al needed a few stiff drinks to pose for that picture. And afterwords, did et have to be excused to go puke?
Can we now see the pics with the tar and feathers?
Is et al., an abbreviation for ethyl alcohol in this mug shot then ?
Just playing.
Did you miss A_thony’s neologism, “tippling point”? Shame.

At least in the EU, thousands have been bred, for instance at the uni of Barcelona, climate change studies; but they probably all aspired to become Eurocrats instead of scientists, only to find themselves not in Brussels but in Mom’s basement after Spain’s collapse. Eurocrats are a hardy species and don’t make room easily for young pretenders. The aging beltway dweller probably shares this stubborness.
Actually, a little self deprecating humor from two members of the Team is a nice surprise. Now if only there were a hint of that kind of humility in the other member in the pic.

My kid informs me that the millenials have noticed the boomers featherbedding on their expected earnings and are a bit pissed… I expect a big “under 30” revolt against earnings redistribution…
