Emboldened by the worldwide success (29,000+ views) of the flushed Lewpaper, a spokesman for Procter and Gamble has announced that P&G decided to replace Mr. Whipple with Mr. Lew.
The Tidy Bowl Man could not be reached for comment at press time. Just think what climate science would be like today if Mann had Ring-Guard™.

Do Americans get the pun?
“Loo” or “Lou” means toilet to people of British descent. .
Short for lavatory.
Hence the flushing of the Lew paper.
Well, some of us do… hence the ‘Lew’ synonymous with ‘Loo’ word play. But, judging from some of the responses to my feeble attempt at humor, perhaps not all.

No, I disapprove.
There is no place for tactics that, when used by others, we criticise.
Is it not best to concentrate on matters like the quality of science?
Well Geoff, then please read the critics to the Lew papers, they are available at WUWT and other places, then you’ll better understand.
The humour and satire are well deserved, one can only laugh at such nastinnes and projections as found in the recursive fury paper which tries by all means to project “if you are a conspiracy theorist you might also be a climate denier” and the reciprocity: all or almost all climate deniers are conspiracy theorists.
The “science” in it was shown to be baseless, and one can only look with contempt at such misappropriation of statistics and psychology.
Based on such zombie, re-flushable papers are skeptics being insulted on a daily basis in an attempt to avoid honest conversation.
So yes, we may laugh about it.
Aloe! Aloe!!
I give five stars (out of five) to Josh’s artistic portrayal of Lewandowsky’s intellectual limitation.

Interestingly, P&G’s former president Lou Pritchett just may have suggested just such a thing were he still the top man there. It would not be the first outspoken and very well done thing he’s ever written:

Procter & Gamble, not Proctor and Gamble. Also, to the best of my knowledge, Lou Pritchett was never a president at P&G, just (a very entertaining) VP of sales.
