Best Comment on the UEA Emails
— initforthegold.blogspot.com — From Balloon-Juice : One the one hand one can hardly deny that East Anglia shot itself in... the groin when the story bubbled for so long without their input.

An Interesting Gripe

Fighting Bad Science
— initforthegold.blogspot.com — One of the issues with how the UEA emails are perceived is whether the reader understands the... context of the dubious pseudoscience and constant harassment the field faces.

For Science, Against Opposing Anti-Science
— initforthegold.blogspot.com — Too long for the quote of the week, the following is quoted verbatim from " The Religious... Case Against Belief " by James Carse.
