Is Anthony Watts any relation to PR firm Russo, Watts and Rollins?

Does anyone know if Chico climate contrarian Anthony Watts is any relation to the Doug Watts who was with Sacramento political consulting firm Russo, Watts and Rollins?

    I don't know the answer to that (I have some questions of my own, about other PR firms...), but even if it were found that Doug Watts and Anthony Watts are related, it still won't really say much.

    If the two Watts are actually working jointly on some project, that'll be more interesting.

    BTW Frank, your old wordpress URL (frankbi.wordpress.com) says "The authors have deleted this blog". That *is* incorrect, right?

    (I'm 99% sure you'd said that Wordpress.com deleted the blog without telling you)

    Anna,

    I did delete frankbi.wordpress.com; I moved its contents to iji2.wordpress.com, which is the suspended blog.

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)

(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.)
