I am! But keeping my eye on the news and, of course, reading this blog.
Suspicions confirmed!
This gargantuan discussion has reached its climax. Willis Eschenbach's final post drove the stake through the heart of Mr. MT. Willis' work is brilliant, as usual. I do wish that he did not have to waste his time on trolls such as Mr. MT. As for Professor Curry, I believe that Willis and friends are taking the time to teach her scientific method as one would teach a child how to form the letters of the alphabet. Her contribution to this discussion is that everyone should recognize a difference between academic science and "policy quality" science. Obviously, if Professor Curry were right about this matter then each scientific journal would have to split into two journals, one for academics and one for policy wonks. I wonder which she would suggest as the version to be referenced by the IPCC and similar bodies? The fact that ideas such as Professor's Curry's are taken seriously in American academia stands as a testament not only to the erosion of standards in academia after the Sixties but as a clear statement of the quality of work that can be expected from those who benefited from that erosion of standards.
