Reception

Reference #12 cites a positive review by a petroleum geologist in the August 2010 issue of Geoscientist (i.e. the monthly magazine of the Geological Society of London). However, this positive review was followed by a rebuttal and editorial comment in the October 2010 issue; and by the Society's statement on the attribution of climate change to human activity in the November 2010 issue.

Oooh, interesting. Those reviews weren't around when we hashed out that section of the article. I'll try to work them in at some point later this week. Thanks for pointing them out! Sailsbystars (talk) 12:44, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Judith Curry's new thoughts on the book

Dr. Curry recently posted this at her blog:

I’ve been engaging with skeptics since 2006 (before starting Climate Etc., I engaged mainly at ClimateAudit). People were suspicious and wondered what I was up to, but the vilification didn’t start until I recommended that people read The Hockey Stick Illusion. The book itself, plus more significantly my vilification simply for recommending that people read the book, has pushed me over the ledge and into a mode of aggressively challenging the IPCC consensus....

I'm not quite sure how to use this, but it's interesting. Scroll down to "JC’s message to Mark Lynas" for more. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 23:30, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After giving this some thought, I've posted a quote from her essay at Judith Curry#An opening mind, which is probably the better place for her opinions. --Pete Tillman (talk) 03:41, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of McKitrick quote

No good reason has been given for deletion of the McKitrick quote. The fact that the book is based on the work of McKitrick and McIntyre is grounds for including it, not grounds for deletion: it is highly relevant that McKitrick considers the book a good introduction to his work.
