John Cook will receive lots of money for climate propaganda

John Cook, a prolific hardcore crackpot and one of the numerous tiny Internet-based stalking appendices of your humble correspondent will share AUD $240,000 for his climate propaganda:

Eureka moment for leading climate change communicator

This guy has no clue about the climate science or atmospheric physics but he has gained some notoriety for his mass production of talking points meant to spread the climate panic and produce doubts about well-established scientific insights that show that there is no reason to be worried about climate change.

His newest list of the talking points claims that 166 independent quantities describing the climate have the uniformly right sign that suggest that the catastrophe is coming and worse than previously thought. The probability that 166 independent signs agree is 1/2^165 but Cook still claims that this coincidence does hold in the real world. ;-)

Everyone who fails to see that Cook is full of **it must be a complete idiot.

Well, his apparent bigotry is no longer based on any idealism. The article I mentioned reveals that despite his complete incompetence when it comes to science, he is actually being paid by the Global Change Institute at the University of Queensland - an obvious counterpart of the Czech Globe which pays unhinged Slovak alarmist Alexander Ač - for producing the lies and obfuscations he is producing every day.

Read rest…

I worked out recently it's impossible for one man to turn out a constantly updating and slick as grease website 'in his spare time'. I even went as far as to surmise he may just be a front for the IPCC or Globe International as it would need a team of professionals to create such a site and probably a few PR experts at the head. I'm glad I was right he's not what he's cracked up to be, they are the slickest propaganda site I've ever come across and the trolls that reply to every single skeptical comment are so obnoxious and generally programmed to repeat identical quotes like Jehovah's Witnesses or the like doesn't look like enthusiastic followers to me but paid hacks. Let's hope this wanker gets busted and better still wiped off the face of the internet. A lot of harmless but lazy or dim readers have been programmed by his utter garbage reports and inflaming the divide and rule operation.

Well you should get a pay rise now BHP has made a substantial profit.
Perhaps you should stick to your own code of conduct."No name calling, smearing, ad hominem attacks, etc... Threats are not tolerated. "
I bet you wont even post this. but at least you'll get the point.

I'm just puzzled by the contradiction between the policy and the article/comments. The administrators seem to break their own policy rules in a very obvious way and fail to moderate the comments.

BTW, I would think you would agree wouldn't you? I assume you want a good discussion, in which case it makes sense to focus peoples minds on the topic without antagonistic words. I can't see how that would be possible unless there was sufficient moderation.

Quoting Hampy:
I assume you want a good discussion, in which case it makes sense to focus peoples minds on the topic without antagonistic words. I can't see how that would be possible unless there was sufficient moderation.


TRANSLATED:

"I am too afraid to face you like a man and just talk science without whining bout things that don't matter. By whining about a little poetic licence from my opponent I can claim some sort of non-existent moral superiority. Even though I am publicly backing the greatest official international hoax of all time. It's called emotional manipulation of the audience to distract them from the real issues at hand. We use it extensively at "skeptical science" (SS for short - Zeig Heil!) because we don't have any credible scientific arguments of our own."
