Respect and integrity
In what other area of scientific discourse would this kind of exchange take place?
Marshall Shepherd: learned n strange emails/blogs some disagree with my #Tedx Talk, @MichaelEMann HockeyStick discredited (hasn’t), & wx varies-gee “who knew”
Bishop Hill: @DrShepherd2013 I attended a debate with a paleoclimate guy a few months ago. In q&a he was asked about the hockey stick. He said “it’s broken”.
Marshall Shepherd: @aDissentient why don’t you ask @MichaelEMann
Marshall Shepherd: @aDissentient and fyi, I generally don’t debate anything that isn’t published in the peer-reviewed lit, best regards
Then Mann shows up:
Michael Mann: @DrShepherd2013 Marshall, I don’t engage disinformation-spewing trolls. It just encourages them…
Marshall Shepherd: @MichaelEMann indeed
Marshall Shepherd: @MichaelEMann I am loving the block function immensely…
Michael Mann: @DrShepherd2013 You and me both 😉
Marshall Shepherd: @MichaelEMann @skepticscience [of course – Ed] unfortunately already blocked the folks that need to see this 🙂
No comment required. The tweets speak for themselves. By the way, Marshall Shepherd is the President of the American Meteorological Society.
P.S. Note to Michael Mann, Shepherd and all the other blockers, all you need to do is log out of Twitter and you can see everything, which is how ACM (which was blocked by Mann) can post all the tweets.
H/T Bishop Hill
Here’s the exchange as it appeared on Twitter:
Twitter has a long memory…
Australian Climate Madness 
Don’t you love the terminology. ….Trolls
Translation: We do not have to debate or justify ourselves because we still have the power of authority.
The sooner that comes to an end for these creeps the better. I can’t wait for September in Australia.
Who knew peer review pals could be so close?
Trolls??..yep…
A troll is someone who corrects people making scientifically illiterate comments..
I wrote to shepherd..
You mentioned the hockey stick, which was Mann, (debunked) then confused that with Marcotts work.(which is dead in the water)
“20th century portion of our paleotemperature stack is not statistically robust, cannot be considered representative of global temperature changes, and therefore is not the basis of any of our conclusions.”
Why are you referring to marcott without actually reading or understanding it.?
Or did you not know that Marcott had changed their original media claims to the above(when questioned).?
Re the Illinois study and 97% of scientists are concerned about the climate.
I am guessing that you are talking about Doran and Zimmerman(2009) who contacted 79 scientists who asked them “Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?”.
And 77 said yes.
Science by polls.??
This question doesnt ask if the changes are going to be of concern.
The “Global Warming religion” is based on Mannipulated data. The only people he considers peers are those who agree with him – much like Lenin and Stalin.
Mr. Mann is not a scientist. He is a bureaucrat who has technical training and whose credibility is nonexistent outside his cult.
Consider it this way All, It is like a war to them. They consider themselves to be on the right side (when they are actually on the left and wrong side) and they’ll fight with every tool in the arsenal to preserve their way of “life”. They are going to Bankrupt so many countries the World over. Almost every country in the World has a federal Debt that they are not able or willing to pay back and so the whole World will be Bankrupted by Schemes like this one. They consider us the great hairy unwashed and they are going to clean us all up. That’s why they want all this “clean” energy. /sarc. HFTC All and take your money out of the banks. @Jim Kress, I agree he is a master mannipulator who is a Communist. that’s what happens when you Trust Un-Trustworthy People.
