Two Sets Of Ethos

An interesting example of how climate skeptics treat private documents versus the settled-science types:

…no skeptic I know of, including me, has yet “outed” the early drafts and author notes contained in Phil Jones JGR account. It would have been easy to do so, to publish Dr. Jones first submitted draft for the broadest peer review possible on the Internet. But no skeptic (that I know of as of this writing) did.

That’s a distinction of difference compared to the actions of people who created Fakegate via potentially criminal actions.

There’s a world of ethical difference between an Anthony Watts and a Peter Gleick. But we’re the ones they want to shut up, or herd off to the reeducation camps.

      “What about that Ipad?”
      “This is personal property…”
