[QUOTE="Geek, post: 2675446, member: 246624"] And I suspect he's done so willingly. Well, you know what they say about statistics and liars. Here's the story. The [URL="http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2012/01/two_incontrovertible_things_an.php"]Wall Street Journal[/URL] and the [URL="http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2012/01/new_british_study_confirms_cli.php"]Daily Mail[/URL] independently published highly misleading and blatantly idiotic pieces on climate change. We've covered this extensively already over the last few days. Phil Plait, of the Bad Astronomy Blog on Discovermagazine.com, was one of numerous scientists to respond to those flaming examples of horrific bottom feeding journalism with the post "[URL="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/01/30/while-temperatures-rise-denialists-reach-lower/"]While temperatures rise, denialists reach lower[/URL]." In that post, he presented a still-image from a moving GIF that has been going around, originally from Skeptical Science. I've used the GIF myself just recently, but I'll re-post it here for your convenience: [URL="http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2012/02/william_m_briggs_has_misunders.php"]Read the rest of this post...[/URL] | [URL="http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2012/02/william_m_briggs_has_misunders.php#commentsArea"]Read the comments on this post...[/URL][IMG]http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GregLadensBlog/~4/5bNY8YPfY9s[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
