Readers will recall that I recently wrote a briefing paper for GWPF on the Cook et al 97% consensus paper. Today Dana Nuccitelli has written a post in which he translates my paper into his own idiosyncratic language, Nuccitello. Readers may struggle with Nuccitello at first, but you will get the hang of it, I'm sure.
For example, many of you may find it hard to work out how it is possible to discuss my paper, with its consideration of the nature of the 97% consensus, under the heading of "consensus denial". Once you see that this is merely a translation into Nuccitello, all becomes clear.
The same blog post has further examples of this strange language. In Nuccitello, those who helped themselves to the documents that Skeptic Science's admins left open to public view are "thieves". And where I quoted participants on the forum as saying
Basically, we hope to establish that not only is there a consensus, there is a strengthening consensus.
this is represented in Nuccitello as
...we discussed how to effectively communicate our consensus results.
It's certainly a strange language! But armed with our new English-to-Nuccitello dictionary we can understand earlier oddities, such as Skeptical Science's strange description of Nic Lewis's climate sensitivity paper, with its result smack bang in the middle of a tangle of similar results from other authors, as "an outlier". It's not a mystery. It's Nuccitello!
