2014 SkS Weekly Digest #35

Posted on 31 August 2014 by John Hartz

SkS Highlights

Michael J.I. Brown's guest post, What I learned from debating science with trolls attracted the highest number of comments of the articles posted on SkS during the past week. Many commenters provided their own example of lessons learned. The post and the commentary make for very interesting reading indeed.

Generating the second highest number of comments was Athabasca Glacier: a tragic vanishing act by Andy Skuce.  Coming in a strong third was John Abraham's US State Department underestimates carbon pollution from Keystone XL.

Quote of the Week 

Dr Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), which is hosting the gathering, said there is "overwhelming" evidence that climate change endangers health. “Solutions exist and we need to act decisively to change this trajectory,” she said.

SkS in the News

In her Hot Whopper blog post, Denier weirdness: 97% irony - deniers deny the science about the science, Sou skewers some of the nonsense eminating from Deniersville about Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature, Cook et al, 2013, Environmental Research Letters.

In his blog post, Climate change conspiracy theories and the ABC radio interview with John Cook that never was, Graham Readfearn details how a bogus stary about John Cook came about. At the end of the day, two prominent Australian climate deniers wound up eating crow.

SkS Spotlights

    [JH] Link fixed. Thank you for bringing this glitch to our attention. 

  2. What's the top-right "dark shadow" image above heat_widget.htm and what is it down counting? Currently, it's 5 days (?) of the countdown left...

  3. I'm also curious about the 'dark widget'. Links to a similarly darkened full-frame interactive flash carousel thingy, complete with the ominous countdown, but what's it all about? Curious minds etc. ...

  4. My guess, echoing conspiracy theories, is, it's the countdown to Bardarbunga Main eruption, that is machined by Climate Deniers to discredit global warming next year. lol.
