Writing a paper about it is just wanking and serves no purpose; it will convince no-one. How could it? Anyone with the sense to read the paper already knows the obvious. In this sense it resembles Oreskes <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Oreskes#Science_and_society_essay" rel="nofollow">only famous work</a> which was also pointless in retrospect at least, although vaguely convenient to use in arguments at the time. And (also in retrospect) her methodological carelessness was telling, and appears to be shared by the current paper. William M.

The monumental task of drawing together and integrating expertise across numerous research domains will require intense trust-based collaboration across disciplinary, organizational, and political boundaries35. To this end, the consortium science framework53—whereby teams of teams organize around a common goal, with a mission to share returns both within and beyond organizational boundaries—is an appropriate model for facilitating cross-disciplinary knowledge exchange and achieving the transformative breakthroughs needed to address this grand challenge. We see this collaborative pattern in the structure of citations within the broader Climate Change Science community documented here (Fig. 7), but not within the Climate Change Contrarian community, which is too small to encompass the complexity required to grapple with the fundamental issues of CC science."<br />THE CLIMATE WARShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578106673226403151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612793.post-61294619914013624372019-08-17T14:19:01.960+00:002019-08-17T14:19:01.960+00:00W, Thanks for reminding us in timely fashion of th...W, Thanks for reminding us in timely fashion of the differnce between Father Time and Zeus chronically cthonic dad Kronos, but I don't get the cat in the hat bit either way- Monckton's Pitlochery haberdashery establishment sold shirts , not hats, and I'm no doctor, just a reguar Fellow.THE CLIMATE WARShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578106673226403151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612793.post-68606935180798689902019-08-17T11:06:50.403+00:002019-08-17T11:06:50.403+00:00Andy, for Monckton I think it is somewhere around ...Andy, for Monckton I think it is somewhere around 100:1.<br /><br />If Monckton complains about being called a denier (the article uses the word "denialist" - once), it can only be because he isn't included, as the authors appear to separate contrarians and denialists...Marconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612793.post-27861299157238629312019-08-17T09:02:11.772+00:002019-08-17T09:02:11.772+00:00What's the conversion rate between threats of ...What's the conversion rate between threats of legal action by climate change deniers and actual legal action?Andy Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975141756383175819noreply@blogger.com
