Keith you are not making sense. The Cronon wilderness controversy was not the subject of the post. It makes no sense except as a set up that you attempted to use to bash Gore and Tobis. It took more than 50% of the space. Cronon’s conclusions are at least questionable, as Steve Bloom showed, and if they are, so is your extention of that story to Gore.

Keith Kloor, I think you have something here. No fair for the environmental camp to allege blind dogma among global warming skeptics if we’re not willing to face this tendency in ourselves. Some of your critics here doth protest too much.

Keith: Why even bother with a comment if you’re not going to engage the post.

Um….Gee, Keith. Ya’ got me there. How do you engage with “Church of Al Gore”? This is you trying out your snark…..and it’s a really rough draft. Get over yourself.

The only thing to engage with is Roger’s constant evasions. Beginning with his inflated publication list.

Roger, the reason why so many people hold you in low regard is that you are unreasonable, as my examples demonstrated.

And you’ve just provided us with another example: you insinuate that I don’t know how to adjust economic data for inflation, but when challenged you don’t support your claim but try to change the subject instead.

Thom,

Hellava counter argument you make there. Why even bother with a comment if you’re not going to engage the post.

Keith, you’re just clueless.

Roger, you have not published hundreds of articles. You’re resume is rife with opinion pieces. Your peer-reviewed articles often appear in journals with impact factors that are neglible. Even much of your stuff in Nature is just opinion.

Your blog is little more than a venue for you to launch attacks on your intellectual betters who are spending their time doing actual research. And, of course, to get Roger Pielke Jr. some press attention. Always the need to get Roger some press time.

You’ve got a better rep with journalists looking for money quotes than with actual scientists. Some reporters have already figured this out.

Tim-

You’ve shown some evidence that you disagree with me on some things that reasonable people can disagree about. Some people will find my arguments more compelling, others yours.

So what?

Roger, it’s a shame you don’t understand the difference between providing a couple of easily accessible examples of something and giving an exhaustive list. You are well aware that there is much more.

And please explain what you mean by “have you figured out how to adjust economic data for inflation yet?”

If this is intended as a reference to something you think I wrote, I have no idea what you are referring to.
