From David Rose's Twitter feed we learn the hilarious news that Bob Ward used to be a punk rocker. Ward had been trying to head off any publicity for Judith Curry's recent revelations about attribution of global warming and in response Rose tweeted this:
I'm on holiday and not working on anything, you barmy, obsessive weirdo. Okay?
Rude, but it could have been worse. I guess the truth sometimes hurts. But then Rose went on to add this delectable snippet:
This the same Bob Ward who's always claiming to spot inaccuracies? Yup. That's him. The ex punk who never got his phd.
I hear on the grapevine that Ward sported a multicoloured mohican and body piercings in the dim and distant past. Please let someone have some photos!
In the meantime, here is the latest staff photo from the Grantham Institute:
