Let's see Pepe squirm out of this one...

Back before AA's and Pepe's hissy-fit, I am pretty sure that I posted articles indicating that Mars was experiencing an anthropogenic wave of hot weather as well and that W had to be behind it all. But if it was Mr Sun all along, then I guess I was wrong.
I wonder if Pepe the Editor of Geophysical Research Letters will retract his similar beliefs....

If I understood the article correctly, a full retraction is totally premature.

Tecumseh said...

Beyond parody. Premature? Try interruptus.

Mr roT said...

Correct.

The previous papers were the equivalent of the daily horoscope and so do not require retractions or published errata.

Tecumseh said...

But, but, but--says Pepe--it's science! Like, duh.

The Darkroom said...

"At the moment, it actually says nothing about a possible cosmic-ray effect on clouds and climate, but it’s a very important first step"

"The graph above does not appear in the print edition of Nature" - why not - conspiracy ?!

"The new CERN research is certainly promising. I’d like to see more before we declare it a Holy Grail, however. "

Thank you.

Mr roT said...

There is no Holy Grail necessary to debunk pseudoscience.

What the CERN guys have demonstrated is that there are other factors that are unaccounted for in the climate models.

That amounts to a new unknown function with dozens of new unknown coupling constants.

Add to it the fact that everything was unproven before, the status of the theory is now even more up in the air.

Pepe gets a headache from too much "science", goes to the pool to take a break.

Mr roT said...

Wasn't Henri Marie Curie Poolish?

Tecumseh said...

More like, Poodlish.

Mr roT said...

Pepe gettin desperate.

What a 'tard.

Tecumseh said...

The meds, Pepe, the meds!
