New policy re climate contrarianism comments as of 11/11/2009:
Comments questioning the climate science community's understanding of climate change (97% of active climatologists now believe that the earth is currently warming and that it's human-caused - link) will be deleted unless the commenter:
a) is local
b) uses his real name
c) provides link(s) to substantiate his claim(s)/inference(s)
d) is willing to collaborate on constructing an argument tree, to get us past the usual sterile point-counterpoint-countercounterpoint.
(For people who can't read the above, a summary:
1) Be civil;
2) Don't post w/o giving at least a pseudonym;
3) Don't espouse climate-denial crankery unless you're local and willing to stand behind it.)
Caveats:
1. Comments could be delayed: they are being moderated, and I'm sometimes away from the computer for a day or more.
2. : Perfectly legitimate comments are sometimes miscategorized (by the blogging platform) as spam, & not published. If this happens to yours, please notify me, else I might not notice for a day or two.
I feel like we are an army of two, but you've gone AWOL for a bit. I've got paid sitemeter for a bit on my blog, and it shows almost no traffic.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry - been busy with other things.
ReplyDelete(are you a registered Democrat and would you like to see Al Gore on the ballot?)
I've just now (well, in an hour) updated NCVoices a bit. It won't make the denialism folks very happy, but at least it won't be misleading our readers.
