Okay what is the deal with DailyTech? The first two articles I%26#039;ve ever seen from DailyTech were the horribly inaccurate %26quot;global cooling%26quot; article here:
http://www.dailytech.com/Temperature+Mon...

which was linked to in dozens of questions when it came out, and is refuted here:
http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2...

Now they%26#039;ve got an article about some Hungarian guy who claims the basic equation for the atmospheric greenhouse effect is wrong, yet he couldn%26#039;t get his paper published in any American peer-reviewed journals. In fact, I couldn%26#039;t find any papers he%26#039;s written whatsoever.

I like gcnp%26#039;s response to this article here:

So what is the deal with DailyTech? It looks like your generic tech website other than a few AGW articles.

By the way, you can contact the author of the %26quot;global cooling%26quot; article here:

I actually received a quick response from the article%26#039;s author. He labelled Hansen as %26quot;politically-motivated%26quot; and %26quot;a
long-time proponent of the idea that man is trashing the planet%26quot; because I had critiqued his article using the GISS data.

He claimed the Hadley Centre data showed a full year of cooling, but provided that data in the email, and it showed warming May-Aug and Sep-Oct 2007. Basically the same as NASA.

He also didn%26#039;t respond to my point that he was ignoring La Nina and confusing weather with climate.

In short, the guy is clearly politically biased and inexperienced with interpreting data.

Noah - his credentials are impressive because he%26#039;s worked at NASA? You must think Hansen is awesome.

Personally I don%26#039;t think a scientist%26#039;s credentials are impressive until he%26#039;s published at least one paper in a peer-reviewed journal. I guess your criteria are different.

To Rush Limbaugh

DailyTech was featured on Rush Limbaugh%26#039;s show on Wednesdays. I sent him an email regarding his coverage:

Hi Rush,

Thanks for the DailyTech mention yesterday!

I enjoyed your commentary on the article. I really liked that you emphasized the fact that the anecdotal evidence means nothing in this debate -- and you%26#039;re 100% correct.

Here%26#039;s the problem Michael Asher and others like myself have. Global Warming is happening -- absolutely -- when you look at the data along a ten thousand year scale. But when you change the scale to 5 years, 50 years, or 5,000 years, the data can back any argument any pundit would like.

Hoax? Well, no. But to say both the right and the left have used climate change to push their agendas is absolutely correct.

Here%26#039;s the other problem we face. When the media comes around and the evidence becomes undeniable; when scientists and researchers have a more complete understanding of what%26#039;s going on, there will be a backlash against legitimate environmentalism.

For example, in Chicago, my hometown, we%26#039;ve got lots of these coal power plants. The EPA estimates power plant emissions were responsible for over 1,350 premature deaths, more than 2,300 non-fatal heart attacks and just under 34,000 extra asthma attacks in Illinois each year. Who is going to fix this once global warming, and environmentalism as a whole, becomes the new pariah?

Not Al Gore, I%26#039;m sure.

Once again, thank you for the mention,

So Mr. Kubicki loves being featured on a neocon talk show, and he claims that his anti-AGW slant on his tech site is to save environmentalism. That%26#039;s about as twisted and disingenuous as it gets. Kubicki%26#039;s site should be renamed TinfoilTech.

Just another Luddite blog, throwing gasoline on the fires of ignorance and stupidity.
