Media Bias? Yup!
Last week in the Times Picayune, Eugene Robinson had an op-ed regarding a Physicist named Richard Muller who had changed from a AGW "skeptic" to a believer in a Wall Street Journal article. That was followed by yet another article 2 days later. What was never printed was that one of Muller's co-authors, Dr. Judith Curry totally disagrees with him. Curry said..."Muller's claim that he has proven global warming skeptics wrong was a HUGE mistake with NO scientific basis". Curry also said..." I am baffled as to what Muller's trying to do. I think they have made errors and I distance myself from what they did." Climategate 2? Does the media favor one side? Absolutely. Another climate researcher slams Muller..."I am fed up with his tricks & his whoring for the media". You'll never see that in the media, unless you do some digging and that's just not right. Or have you heard about the COOLING taking place according to climate researcher Dr. Roy Spencer, UAH? Of course not. All we keep hearing is more weather extremes caused by CO2 and to save the World we must change (lower the standard of living) the way people live. The CO2 Theory is much like religion. It can't be proved and is based on faith. I for one believe our current warming CYCLE peaked in 1998 and, based on data, we have entered a cooling cycle that may continue for the next 20-30 years. Too many people, with far more education that I, agree with that scenario. Yet the blitz of Global Warming articles will continue. To be continued...

I think it's clear from Curry's subsequent statements on her blog that what she's opposed to is not the BEST dataset nor the methodology used to compile it, but rather some statements that were made when the dataset was announced. The statement that she "totally disagrees with him" is false. And if we're cherry-picking quotes:
"There is NO comparison of this situation to Climategate. Muller et al. have been very transparent in their methods and in making their data publicly available, which is highly commendable."
rcs...you miss the point, which is we HARDLY EVER see stories about GW & how it's linked to decadal patterns of ocean currents. Nope, just more man made greenhouse gases. Thankfully just this week NASA admitted the link of the NAO and our recent brutal winters in Europe and the Northeast. Maybe they might connect the melting of the Arctic ice to the PDO? Nah, asking too much.
