Climate Denial at The Register, I (b) - So Goddard E-mailed Me

I'm not going to publish it here just yet, but if you're interested, please E-mail me.

Okay, since I got way too many e-mails, I'll post and be damned.

After a lot of hunting, I finally found this man, Dr. Steve Goddard, an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Nebraska. Now, not a lot to go on, but he seemed to be an interesting fit - he's an "I.T. Professional", and he's done a load of work on "drought risk information".

Climate Denial at The Register, I - Strange Characters

BPSDBSomebody at British I.T. organ "The Register" seems to have it in for climate scientists (as commenters at Deltoid have mentioned). Whether there's a genuine agenda, or whether it's just a cheap attempt to get attention and generate page views is impossible to say, but in recent months a whole swathe of articles on climate change denial have appeared on the site. I'll be posting a rebuttal on the science later, but in this first post I want to concentrate on the writers.

Here are three of the articles - and notice the pattern.

Strange attack on "Big Climate"

The I.T. (and occasionally science) news site "The Register" today published a really random article about climate change. In fact article is perhaps a strong word, for something that seems little more than a calculated trolling. By why does a normally sensible outlet suddenly wheel out an unknown author to post such an out-of-character and controversial piece?
