" Feynman would puke his guts up on that." I doubt that. Did you know Arrhenius' paper was 22 years old when Feynman was born, and 92 YO when he died? Don't you think it's a bit strange that deniers pretend to know what Feynman was thinking, in order to invalidate the theory, and yet he never once said Arrhenius, nor the seminal works of Fourier and Tyndall, were wrong? That he never questioned the CO2 data of Reville and Keeling? Never disputed Callendar? How weird.

Sure. It doesn't mean her comments were wrong. I had just made the same comments myself. As have many others with a solid science background. Curry's comments were only notable because of their source, not their content. And given the Michael Mann fiasco and the 7 or 8 years since the climateGate affair, you really can't argue the science is about the science. Sorry, made up bullshit doesn't make something a fiasco or a scandal. Both of those "events" have been shown to not mean what people like you claim. Repeating lies does not make them true. Despite what Goebbels said... Given the "97% of Climate Scientists" campaign. OMG. That was NOT science. Feynman would puke his guts up on that. There you go again. Not only are you "reading" the mind of a dead man, you are engaging in "alternate facts". Richard Feynman died in 1988. Despite the whole idea of climate change having been kicked around for decades at that point, climate models being at least a decade at that point, he never weighed in on the subject. And certainly not like you want to claim he would. Finding the cash in the refrigerator doesn't make you want to change your mind. Nope. I am guessing it would for you. Interesting set of ethics you have. Mine aren't for sale.
