Hostess Anthony Watts and his conspiracy theory factoids at WUWT Sou | 12:16 PM
 Anthony Watts continues his foray into conspiracy theories. He's posted another Josh cartoon under the headline "Not so Friday Funny – Science is turning back to the dark ages" (archived here). The four words at the start of the headline were his only original contribution to the article. The cartoon was by Josh, and the two snippets were from a denier at the Times (Melanie Phillips) and a slime editorial at the denier paper the Washington Times. He got both snippets from the UK denier lobby group the Global Warming Policy Foundation (which actively tries to get the globe to warm faster).
Two Times Conspiracy Theories
Melanie Phillips' conspiracy theory at The Times (UK) seems to be that climate science is a hoax because many small cohort biomed studies are suspect. The Washington Times editorial conspiracy theory was that the climate scientists from one of the world's most respected scientific organisations were engaging in fraud so as to appease the US President. At least that's what they are insinuating.
Our hostess - Anthony Watts
Under the Friday Funny was this funny comment from conspiracy theorist Rudd Istvan, who's a favourite of Judith Curry and maybe forgot where he was. Or maybe he just can't tell them apart. ristvan wrote:

Yes. There are two sorts of integrity issues. The obvious one is illustrated by Mann’s ‘hide the decline’, Karlization, or the many instances of academic misconduct exposed in Blowing Smoke essays. That is explained by the corrupting financial and career incentives Eisenhower first warned about. Less obvious but far more troubling is the failure of most of the rest of science to speak out about how shonky the first part is. Exceptions like Hal Lewis, Ivar Giaever, Richard Lindzen, and our hostess are the exceptions proving the rule.
When the history of climate science is finally written, there will be many ugly lessons.
Joe Romm is gone, and more factoids
In another article (archived here), Anthony elevated a very silly comment, presumably meant to lift the spirits of deniers who see their RSS pause crumbling before their eyes. Anthony said the comment was from Gray Pearse, but actually it was from Gary Pearse. He wrote how:
Looking up to the firmament, Anthony Watts added:
I would like to add a few other little known factoids to the excellent list Gary created.
Anthony was correct, but probably didn't know it. (Can someone please buy the man a dictionary?)
