I left a comment on that thread. Here’s the comment and the responses I got. I wrote:

Dover beach says: “So, if we put to one side, if only for the moment, the other possible contributors and assume, for the sake of the argument, that CO2 was the chief driver this century, we’ve only seen 0.7C for 35% increase in CO2. Considering the logarithmic character of the relationship between temp. and CO2, that is more or less 70% of the warming we should expect for a doubling.”

Looks like you are using one of those special RWDB calculators. On a regular calculator log2(1.35) = 43%. (Not to mention that you don’t understand what “at equilibrium” means.)

Response from Joe Cambria:

“looks like you are using one of those special RWDB calculators.”

Meanwhile you were telling people:

but I can tell you that you will get close to 50% heads if you toss a thousand coins.

In the Duffy thread.

Looks like you are using one of those special leftwing probability calculators, you doofus, Lambert.

Frankly I’m keeled with that comment when you advertise having a doctorate in math.

I hope you didn’t do your dissertation in probability, as I would like it to be reassessed.

You now have to add your college professors to the list apology list I have nicely created for you.

From dover_beach

Oh, thanks, ‘Shiny’. Your interventions are always ‘enlightening’. Now run along, Hansen’s gots some biscuits for you.

From Joe Cambria:

The short one was recently “caught” supporting the Tobin tax. He’s now in league with Hugo Chavez who also is agitating for the same.

Now, I am not a cruel person as I always show my generous side to people (even short ones) less fortunate than me. I suggested recently that shiny ought to spend a little more time gate crashing some basic economics lectures at his uni.

But do you think he’d listen to me: of course not. Now look what he ends up with. He’s siding with Hugo Chavez.

And that’s Jason’s best example of a substantive thread.

And yes I emailed Jason and used some of the language he has directed at me again and again and again. Oddly enough, when I used words that he describes as “snark” and which I’m supposed to laugh off, he called it “abuse” and was so incensed he threatened to complain to my boss.

And if anyone is interested in genuine discussion on the ice age alarmism Jason advanced on his blog, it’s over here.

And Tim, if you just want to go around putting me down I suggest you give people a bit of a background i.e. just because I carelessly aimed a snark at you once, you sent me not one but *three* abusive emails and have been back to hounding me since. you really are a vindictive little twerp and if you continue this I may just be inclined to publish those emails and tell you boss about them, ok? get over it. I made one snark at you and you’ve been spending the last few months trying to get back at me. get some psychiatric help.

Am autonomous blog is nonetheless the best modus operandi. Good luck to it and those behind it.

It has been pointed out on the Cat that those in glass houses should throw stones. Maybe Kim should take note and besides blogs seeking debate shouldn’t be mutual admiration societies should they.

In other news, eggs contribute to chickens.

Kim, I think that perhaps you take the ramblings of a few on the Cat too seriously. The fact that you & others of similar mind don’t (or rarely) comment has probably contributed to the so called degeneration. I can only think of a couple of people on the Cat worthy of disdain. An attitude such a yours provides a victory to idiocy on any blog. Silence is the biggest threat to liberty, never allow your voice to be lost especially to fools.

Meanwhile, just checked in at Catallaxy and noticed that John Greenfield is licking his lips at the thought of another blog for his comedy stylings to conquer!
