Eli Rabett Eli Rabett Eli Rabett is a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny, a chair election from retirement, at a wanna be research university that has a lot to be proud of but has swallowed the Kool-Aid. The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional.
Tweet Bit of an experiment. I’m interested in internal climate policy debates in other countries where someone prominent takes the same position the Republican leadership is taking today, that we should do nothing because foreign bogeyman is worse, except that the bogeyman is the US. It’s Indians and Chinese that the Republicans usually identify as the bogeymen, so they’d be the ideal examples
Tweet In the spirit of Deep Climate , Anonymous, as he wrote to Eli , has penned an analysis of how Richard Tol cooked and indeed, it is McIntyre class, although from the nature of the mistake, it may very well have been hubris and not malice. Dickie’s misbegotten analysis starts from Cook et al’s description of their procedure, and just to show that Eli is an honest card shark, why not start with Tol’s description first of what he did, and then of what Cook et al did. At the end of this it should become clear that, well, Eli will leave that to the bunnies. From Tol’s blog According to Cook et al. , each abstract was assessed by at least 2 and at most 3 raters

Some links for the bunnies Magnus Westerstrand discusses the hidden Bengtsson and his media gambit. I am sad to have witnessed the changes in Lennart Bengtsson’s media presence over the last few years. At first it was just a few comments in local media such as this article in UNT 2009 stating among other things that a doubling of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would only result in a temperature increase of about 1 o C as a result of the logarithmic forcing of CO 2 . This is misleading, of course, because it ignores feedbacks which increase that number substantially.
