"Ah, nothing like quoting an anti-AGW blog as if it were the equivalent of a published article"

Ah nothing like quoting Skeptical Science or Real Climate or DeSmogBlog or HughPickensDOTcom, because those are outlets of pure unvarnished truth that no sane man may object to.

In fact the WUWT article points to an article in "The Australian" and quotes the NSIDC.

I assume you get your answers from Genesis because you like things handed down as Holy Writ, probably because its easier than thinking. Climate alarmism is deeply religious and very much creationism without all of the messy stuff about Cain and Abel.

Like "The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is 50 below zero, so how is it melting?"

But that's for people who understand science and critical thinking, something you're not capable of.

Is there a sweetheart deal for Slashdot's owners to post every deranged end-of-the-world scare story from HughPickens?

Inquiring minds would like to know, because every single scare story has been rebutted many times (although Slashdot never gets to see those stories because the debunkers are in league with the devil/big oil/republicans/illuminati/adam sandler (delete as appropriate))

The modern term for this is "motivated reasoning" but in the past it was called "moral hazard" or "moral depravity". Different words, same result - an attack on the motivation of the person who denies the coming Apocalypse/Judgement Day/Zombie Outbreak (delete as appropriate)

In Russia they have a word for this: Lysenkoism

Ah yes, the CO2/Water vapor feedback coeffient - the entirely made-up non-physical fudge factor that turns a rise in an essential trace gas from pimple to asteroid-hitting-the earth scariness.

"There is a reason that energy boards treat modeling as an adversarial process. It is more like lawyering then science"

Whatever it is, it's not science.
