I can't recall ever seeing Lee Klinger comment here. But he's clearly read the book: "I refuse to stand by and allow the Hockey Stick graph to be presented at a major scientific meeting without mention of its errors" [this is the final post in an interesting sequence of three].

The (US) EPA's Administrator Lisa Jackson confirms that fracking does not contaminate ground water:

Barack Obama snubs British scientists by refusing to receive Royal Society medal
Barack Obama has snubbed Britain’s most eminent scientists by refusing to attend a Royal Society banquet in his honour at which he was to be awarded with a prestigious medal.

*The King Charles II medal is awarded in “exceptional circumstances” to heads of state who have “made an outstanding contribution to furthering scientific research in their country”.

So if I understand you correctly holding an opinion that is counter to the skeptic CAGW position is dishonest denialist. which has been apparent for many years, pot/kettle surprised you even went there!

Proper science, investigate, collate data and confirm with boots on ground.

Steve Mcintyre responds to Bob Ward - who made a comment at Climate Etc (and Paul Nurse) at Climate Etc....

"Here’s a suggestion to Bob Ward. Write a public letter to the University of East Anglia asking them to forthwith provide me with the Yamal/Polar Urals regional chronology that I requested and the associated lists of sites.

This is a limited and reasonable request. Not providing it will have two bad consequences for the “community” that Ward purports to represent. Refusing to provide the data not only is evasive, but is perceived by the public as evasive. And each excuse used for the refusal will be probed, thus committing the university to far more work than simply releasing the requested data.

It’s important that people like Ward and Nurse move beyond pious platitudes urging scientists to be more open and transparent. Pious platitudes have been uttered for two decades.

On a related topic, Shub Niggurath has observed that IPCC has adopted policies to be even less open and transparent. For the last IPCC report, it was possible for me, as a reviewer, to request a copy of the review comments on the First Draft, for example. IPCC has changed its rules so that they will not be available to me or other reviewers until after the publication of the Report itself"

How is he going to get out of this one.
