Just had a nice dinner downtown and a lovely bike ride home in -24C weather!
It’s only 9:00. I wonder if it will hit -30C by morning?
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I don’t know about anyone else, but I am setting water bottles outside to freeze, while we still have the ability to create ice. It is soon to become a thing of the past…
-12F….impossible!
We were told that is a “Big Error”.
;O0
Hell has frozen over:

I received notification of this rejoinder by David Appell.
“I don’t think I’m wrong. It’s especially absurd to quote a low temperature as some kind of proof (hee, hee) of some “Al Gore effect.” The whole notion is unscientific and absurd, anyway. Goddard, who purports to traffic in science, deserves scorn for even bringing it up. ”
Below is my reply, which I doubt will be approved.
You my not think that you are wrong, but it’s our opinion that matters here. We know that Steve’s humorous anecdote is intended to provoke laughter about Al Gore’s presence anywhere, being the cause for temperatures to plunge. He must be Al Jonah, but you missed the joke.
However, the temperatures did plunge despite your protestations that you had given correct figures, namely “Actually that forecast is for 16 F (-8 C), not -8 F (-22 C).”
We did not see Steve make an error but were certainly saw your error. We also see you demonstrate a lack of honesty and maturity with your last (hee hee) comment. Do you even know the difference between evidence and proof?
Steve offered amusing evidence of an Al Gore effect. There does seem to be a trend that can be followed , but only you claim this is “some kind of proof”
The last two sentences are the petulant outpouring of a kid caught with his hand in a biscuit barrel. “The whole notion is unscientific and absurd, anyway. Goddard, who purports to traffic in science, deserves scorn for even bringing it up.”
What a whinger you are. Do you still stamp & throw yourself on the floor when you are ignored? This is the Internet, not the local supermarket
It’s cold today in Denver. High of 12 F. So what? That has nothing to do with the hypothesis of anthropogenic climate change, and Steve Goddard isn’t at all funny or clever by cherry-picking one day and one temperature. As a science journalist I’ve been to dozens of climate conferences and none of them saw extreme temperatures. I didn’t see the need to crow about it. This is about science, and Goddard is demonstrating that he is a scientific clown.
“As a science journalist I’ve been to dozens of climate conferences and none of them saw extreme temperatures.”
You sir are a weather DENIER !
here is one — Cancun = “As negotiators from nearly 200 countries met in Cancun to strategize ways to keep the planet from getting hotter, the temperature in the seaside Mexican city plunged to a 100-year record low”
You crack me up !
Dave,
It was a goof…a joke…a running gag about how often global warming gatherings often experience cold weather. Quit taking yourself so seriously.
By the way the “Imaculate Reception” piece was ver unscientific but you don’t deserve scorn for bringing it up (though some Raiders fans might disagree).
By the way, I posted this on your site…hope it passes moderation.
David,
With all due respect, you’re acting the clown at this time.
You were wrong in your initial interpritation of Steve’s post. (The forcasted temps we clearly (16F High -8F Low
And when called out on it, instead of admiting it, you changed the subject to “it’s unscientific to bring up an supposed Al Gore effect.”
It really is a pattern with you AGW’ers, when proven wrong, first attack/insult,then move the goal posts.
C’mon Dave, be a big boy & say it with me…
I WAS WR-WR-WRONG.
The funniest part of this to me is, this is probably the most traffic your blog has ever seen.
Stay Classy Dave

biobob, no wonder you’re afraid to use your real name. So it was cold in Cancun for a few days. What does that have to with science? This only paints you as (another) clown, unserious….
AH, the tried and true resort to the ad hominem attack ! Touche ! I am mortally wounded.
So, nu, what DOES that have to do with the veracity of “none of them saw extreme temperatures” vs “Mexican city plunged to a 100-year record low” as lie vs truth ? Are you logic challenged ? How does one respond when someone disproves your point ? Do you gracefully admit you were in error or deflect fact with personal attacks ? It seems to me that YOU are the one afraid.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
If all such discussion were truly about science, David, CAGW would have been the dead issue it needs to be…………… 20 years ago.
David,
Here is me thinking you came on here to admit that you were wrong. Oh well, it looks like I am the one that is wrong, so I apologise.
There now, do you see how easy that was?
Text of email to David Appell. He chose not to approve a comment of mine on his website, so what else can I do?
Hello David,
Not taking comments anymore! Cat got your tongue, or was the heat to much for you and you therefore left the kitchen?
I suppose we shall not read your rantings at Real Science again, which is probably better for all concerned.
You probably missed Steve’s message under his name. He puts “Just having fun, which says it all. BTW, it appears that CO2 sequestration has gone tits up, as we like to say in the UK. There goes the environment and all because of watermelons like you.
