John Cook and his award
[h/t to Adam] Following all the questions raised about his blog John Cook has managed to respond. Or not.
Cook says that people complain about his penguin pictures and creative logos. Please visit Head Asploder Joe Romm where he calls Richard Lindzen, William Happer, Roger Pielke Sr, John Christy and a host of others, ‘fools’. Who does he turn to for support? John Cook of course. You can see this page where Cook has rounded up pictures of sceptical scientists and has them displayed as though they were a bunch of common criminals, with their mugshots in a gallery.

Cook thinks that the ‘attacks’ on his website have increased after he won an award. Unfortunately, he has the chronology in reverse.
In reality Cook was ‘attacked’ before he won anything (for e.g). And the ‘attacks’ were directed at the ‘science’ he presented. Only he deleted them, tampered with them, or ignored them.
And then he won his award.

"Firstly, the level of criticism and scrutiny that Skeptical Science receives from those that reject anthropogenic global warming has increased an order of magnitude. Almost without exception, the criticisms neatly avoid the science presented at SkS and instead focus on big issues like the buttons in our margin, comment moderation and the fact that our header graphic is photoshopped"
John Cook the following are all the criticisms of Skeptical Science which you and your moderators have not repsonded to, and almost all of them focus on the science:

Will you acknowledge there are numerous scientific critiques of SkS and could you please explain why you have not responded to them?'
Which was deleted about 10 minutes after I posted it.
Honestly, John Cook really needs to rename his blog. SkS doesn't display even the slightest hint of scientific skepticism.
Harold Camping has a better track record than any warmist of which I have ever heard, and yet he is called unreliable and crazy, for falsely predicting the end of the world three times. His record is better than the leftist hero Paul Ehrlich!
The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer.
—Paul Ehrlich, in The Population Bomb (1968)
I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.
—Paul Ehrlich in (1969)
In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish.
—Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)
Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity…in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion.
—Paul Ehrlich in (1976)
Ahem. Paul Ehrlich still teaches and is still considered a luminary by the left!
No amount of shame will ever deter them.
Before 1985 arrived humanity did enter a genuine age of scarcity.
That scarcity being people capable of thinking for themselves.
