Quackery? Josh 143

Warm weather - Josh 142
George Monbiot's hilarious article 'Do the weather forecasters used by the Daily Mail actually exist?' is well worth reading. Although we know that weather is not climate (except when it is) one can't help but see some parallels.

Big science - Josh 138
See Judith Curry's great post about what looks like an interesting new book by David Weinberger Too Big to Know: Rethinking Knowledge Now That the Facts Aren’t the Facts, Experts are Everywhere, and the Smartest Person in the Room is the Room.

Dark Matter: What's science got to hide?
Billed as the "Data debate: Is transparency bad for science?" the event was held at Imperial College and the speakers were Sir Mark Walport, Director of the Wellcome Trust, George Monbiot, Guardian columnist , Baroness Onora O’Neill and David Colquhoun, UCL. Jo Glanville, Editor of Index on Censorship, chaired the debate. Josh and Richard Drake were in the gathered throng.
