Judy blogs!

Judith Curry has decided to formalise her longstanding campaign to get people on both sides of the global warming debate to fling foul abuse at her. Her new blog is called Climate etc .

Welcome to the blogsphere Judy!

Very welcome indeed!

It is a very welcome addition.

I wonder if the realclimate crowd, will stay away, or feel a strange compulsion, to make an appearance (like a moth to a flame) as other commentors that disagree with them will not be deleted.

They are not used to that sort of debate.

"Judith Curry has decided to formalise her longstanding campaign to get people on both sides of the global warming debate to fling foul abuse at her."

I hope that this will be recognised as being the sympathetic and humorous comment it is. Some people have a tendency to assume that anything said with a straight face (or, in text, in the absence of a smiley) is intended to be taken literally.

Her blogroll has a few blogs missing and at least one blog link wrong. Perhaps people with more patience and knowledge than myself could help get set it right - before the onslaught.

I wish her every success with it.

Judith Curry advised on Keith Kloor's site that the first technical article will be posted Monday.

My favourite site for technical articles on climate science is The Resilient Earth.

Judith Curry would have to go some way to match Doug HoffMan's brilliant blog.

Here is a good example;

It appears that, from the outset, Judith's going for a slightly different approach to blogging from most. There will be a genre-hierarchical structure to the blog, which probably will mean that in her technical posts my running observational commentaries will be less appreciated. Fair enough, since I can't contribute directly to the scientific debate. I hope she will default to self-moderation, though.

I think it will be a truly interesting blog. Given Judith's journey so far, from warmist to arbiter to possibly slightly sceptic.
I wonder if Judith is in fact looking to the new blog to help her find her proper place in the debate?

Wow.

I have been tracking Dr. Curry's blog. She has over a hundred comments on her welcome page! A good many are replies to commenters to each of whom she has conscientiously attempted to extend a "Thank you".

I can see where she might be feeling a bit dazed at the results, much like the poor fellow who didn't know that the gun was loaded. Hopefully, she won't become discouraged by all this encouragement.

143 comments on the welcome page, but at least a third of them are her own comments responding to her readers; a pretty substantial first showing, nonetheless, while her effort to respond to each commenter is exceptionally gracious. When her first posting comes out on Monday it should attract quite a bit of interest.

Here's just one of the topics I shall be looking out for, (from a comment on C-a-S, Curry Agonists, August 5th, 2010 at 5:29 pm)
'...The attribution of 20th century climate change rests on imperfect models that have been tuned to erroneous solar forcing data (i.e. the IPCC AR4 runs used outdated and apparently incorrect solar forcing), and aerosol forcing is “tuned” to get a good match with global temperature. Hence there is much circular reasoning involved in the IPCC model attribution studies. Their experiments show that it is plausible that greenhouse forcing can explain warming in the latter half of the 20th century, but cannot rule out a major role for solar forcing and internal multidecadal ocean oscillations at the “very likely” level, 90-99% certainty. That’s an example of what I mean by overconfidence. Yes I could write a paper on this, and I am (stay tuned.....'

The 'knives are out' at Deltoid. Tim Lamberts sets them up and sits back and watches.
An example, Tim, the blog owner condonse this, and brags how he has gone to town on Tom Fuller as well

Oh, the irony! The noise of her innuendo and repetition of denier propaganda has added nothing but noise. As Gavin Schmidt noted: "In future I will simply assume you are a conduit for untrue statements rather than their originator." Ouch.

Given that she has chosen to blogroll WattsUpMyArse, the Pielke Dynamic Duo and other denier-friendly fodder, it doesn't look likely she is going to change her game.
