There Goes the Last Shred of Judith Curry's Credibility

David Rose is an abject moron, and the Daily Fail is a rag. We all know this, so no surprise that Rose and the Fail are still working the Antarctic sea ice canard like a footballer rolling around on the ground faking an injury. In other words, much ado about nothing.



Refutations of Fail trash and fake science pieces are hardly even necessary anymore, but if you're interested, Nuccitelli provides a thorough takedown.

However, what still shocks me (and I suppose it shouldn't at this point) is that Judith Curry has so little shame she would eagerly encourage and contribute to such rubbish.

First of all, if David Rose calls you for an interview, hang up. Have some self-respect, huh?

Secondly...

[Curry] said it was becoming increasingly apparent that long-term cycles in ocean temperatures were responsible for a significant proportion of the ice decline in the Arctic – a process that may be starting to reverse.

Ummm, no. Just no. Curry expects us to take her seriously after spouting this specious crap for David Rose of the Daily Fail?!

And, lastly...

Prof Curry also revealed that because of the ‘pause’, in which world average temperatures have not risen for more than 16 years, the Arctic ice decline has been ‘touted’ by many as the most important evidence for continued global warming.

Could Curry really have her head shoved that far up her ass? Is this even possible? Or did Rose misquote her? I sure hope for her sake she's been misquoted, because the warming of the Earth over the past 16 years would be what many tout as the most important evidence for continued global warming.

You can hang up on Rose next time, or "wave" bye-bye to your credibility, Judith.
