Best Refutation Money Can Buy

Andrew Montford, the English blogger behind Bishop Hill, has penned a report for the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), a think tank set up by Lord Lawson of...get this...Blaby... that claims all the previous reports on the CRU Hack were "rushed and inadequate". Most important thing to know about the report:

Mr Montford...was paid £3,000 for carrying out the review...

3,000.00 GBP = 4,809.71 CAD

And while Fred Pearce thinks there are still lingering questions re CRU's response to FOI requests,I thought those had been answered here.

Debunked In Under 10 Seconds

Bishop Hill finds a GISS Climatologist (Andrew Lascis) saying bad things about the Executive Summary of IPCC Report Chapter 9 in the reviewers' comments pertaining to that chapter! Oh My! Another "Climategate" scandal!

But wait! Lascis had problems with the summary's first draft! By draft number three, Mr. Lascis' issues seem to have been addressed!

Carry on.

PS. What does this episode really show us? Scientists had a disagreement. They argued about it. They came to a resolution! The system worked!!
