Comment on Professor Keith Hunter – Again by Skeptic

Hello Keith, it has indeed been a while.

And the reason why I have not given you my details have not changed. I do not recall whether I also mentioned this in one of my earlier replies but, one day, you could have influence over my career (direct or indirect). I do not particularly wish to be in a situation with a professor with a grudge against me, as this does not generally lead to particularly good outcomes for more junior academics. I think I also explained previously that I have seen what has happened to some who were foolish enough to go against climate alarmism. This latter point is less of a concern now, as the empirical evidence is supporting the sceptical case, and we are now seeing a gradual retreat from climate alarmism (which I think/hope may become a stampede at some point).

However, I do owe you an apology for the late reply. As you may have noted, I have not been very active recently on the blog, due to too many research commitments etc.

Hello Mark. Almost 2 years have gone by and you have failed to respond. Am I to conclude that your protestations are simply long winded puffery? It looks like it to me. I repeat, tell me who you are, even by private email, and I will respond without revealing your identity. If you are not willing to do do that, have the decency to apologize and withdraw.

Good summary. NZ MSM coverage of climate change is hopeless.
The best they can do is coverage of Monckton’s tour, at a very condescending level

Yawn. Deniers denying the scientific facts, as always.
Deniers like you can’t understand how someone could possibly, you know, actually look at the research. Let the research tell them what the facts are.

Oh no, for you deniers, ideology kills everything else.

Credibility? You deniers who keep denying the science have none.

Your posting under a new variant of your name? I think you will find defending the hockey stick of Mann a little troublesome…

Somehow, I think that the odds are slim……

Hi Andy, completely unrelated to climate I am afraid to say. This is an interest, not my work.

I’m looking forward to hearing more about the paper you have been working on. I presume it is climate related?

What are you talking about? Mann’s hockey stick has been verified multiple times by independent research.

Why are you posting blatant and obvious likes like that?

Nicely understated.

BTW, what are the odds of the word “standstill” (or “stand-still”) appearing anywhere in AR5? I’ve just searched the SPM FOD – “No matches were found”.
