I, too, was befuddled by Ridley's references to climate change. In the case of the one criticizing Al Gore, I figured that he was just ragging on something about Mr. Gore's way of presenting, or possibly enlarging on, the facts (I don't know whether he enlarged on anything or not). In the case of the second one, I didn't know enough (or much of anything) about Steve McIntyre and Ross McKitrick with which to draw any conclusions, but I <i>did</i> form an impression that he might possibly be in some sort of climate-change denial – I mean denial of the role played by anthropos.Moristotlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211602374384087074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-39691164772969321392015-10-31T18:13:58.472-04:002015-10-31T18:13:58.472-04:00Thanks for the pointer to the Ridley interview.

On the other hand, he spouted off about climate change twice during the interview. Despite a lack of apparent qualifications, he is extremely sure of himself on this. And demonstrably wrong.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-41584853636998112982015-10-30T10:53:48.861-04:002015-10-30T10:53:48.861-04:00Ed, maybe you need to re-read the fish above the l...Ed, maybe you need to re-read the fish <i><b>above</b></i> the limerick: "I hope that you haven't noticed more such moments of forgetfulness occurring lately, although that is not particularly reliable evidence, since the further gone a senior gets the less likely he or she is to remember anything about the most recent senior moment...until virtually every moment becomes a senior moment as the senior’s mind drains down the rabbit hole of senility."Moristotlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211602374384087074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-52333666347611561702015-10-30T10:52:16.289-04:002015-10-30T10:52:16.289-04:00Actually. doesn't the saying go this way: &quo...Actually. doesn't the saying go this way: "As Cali goes so goes <i><b>the rest of the WORLD"</b></i>?Moristotlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211602374384087074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-85591731909720400452015-10-30T10:39:29.773-04:002015-10-30T10:39:29.773-04:00Oh!
