I love your use of Sir Humphrey, from the show “Yes, Minister,” to make your point. I loved him in that excellent, intellectually stimulating show. By bringing it up, a lot of good memories of Sir Humphrey and his Minister have been coming back to me. Thank you.

BTW, I am not a scientist, just an interested observer. I read about you, and Ross McKitrick, (and your troubles in getting the climate change scientists to behave like real scientists, accepting challenges to their hypotheses) in the article “Two Inconvenient Canadians: The Unlikely Men Who Shook Up Global-Warming Science” in National Review (February 8, 2010).

Keep up the good work! We need more real science in this debate — not the wishy-washy pseudo-religious mantra we frequently get from the “man caused this” Global Warming, Err, Uh, Climate Change crowd.

This is discussed in CA post Sir Humphrey and the Boehlert Questions. [...]

Will this reduce the panel’s interest in addressing the Boehlert questions?

Mark,

are you implying that Mike Man is paid to write papers “mechanically” irrespective of what the data represent? That he is the front-end of an academic publishing machine?

What is he if not a statistician?

…is a question I’d like answered.

If Cicerone had any due process concerns, he could easily have expressed them to Boehlert on receipt of Boehlert’s letter, or shortly thereafter, precluding Goldston’s public comment.

I would think he would rely solely on being a statistician since that’s pretty much all he does: offer statistical analysis of data others have collected.

What is he if not a statistician?
