Judith Curry
There’s an excellent discussion at Lucia’s The Blackboard regarding Keith Kloor’s interview of Judith Curry:
Judy Curry Interviewed by Kloor
The talk over at Real Climate is rude as expected, so I’ve stopped reading there.
When I became interested in climate science a couple years ago, I became very skeptical of the consensus view, much of it due to the behavior of some on Real Climate. I’ve read many blogs on the topic, and lately my favorite sources are the lukewarmers or those with a more rational view on the topic, such as Lucia’s The Blackboard, The Air Vent, Roger Piekle Sr., Roger Pielke Jr., Roy Spencer, and others (see blog roll to the right).
I do think there’s still much we don’t know about the climate, and look forward to a rational, non-alarmist discussion.
I appreciate the effort Judith Curry has made to reach out to expand the discussion, rather than the approach by others to stifle the debate.
I, too, appreciate Lucia’s Blackboard. It’s one of the few places where AGW Consensus proponents and skeptics can interact, sometimes productively. Almost always in a civil fashion.
RealClimate is not generally useful, almost always an unpleasant read, and never to be relied upon as far as gaining a balanced view of a topic. I don’t know how much of this is the result of intentional policies, and how much is because it’s difficult to run a high-traffic blog on a contentious subject.
Hi AMac,
I appreciate your posts in all the usual places. Yes, Lucia’s is one where intelligent dialog usually wins over ad homs and other political attacks. I’m most likely a lukewarmer, but rebel instinctively at the alarmist propaganda. It would be great if we can really get a handle on what is happening with the climate.
