Bill Fothergill, Neven What I was attempting to type BC (before cat).... I cannot say definitely whether or not Ms Curry routinely plays dishonest games with the timeline of the comments at her blog because that is knowledge I do not possess. What I can say is that on the one instance I have visited her site in the last four years she has been dishonest and disingenuous in her zeal to protect the #wutz. Psychic detective Jim Hunt as usual was one step ahead and answered Neven's question making my first attempt superfluous. Jim I bet Mosher could help us with the algoreithm, he may have just the right sense of humour, nudge...nudge

I am only a humble learner at ASIB & ASIF and have a sincere question. Given what we know of past pauses in the decline of ice volume, is it safe to say that volume could be decimated if the Arctic is subjected to another “perfect storm summer” similar to 2012?

Schrodinger the cat decided to take a walk across the keyboard as I was tying my reply. This is a purrrfect example of when a snip is an appropriate action. Getting back to Ms Curry and her use of the red pencil, certain inconvenient truths were vanished without a trace. From this shameful incident it has been proven beyond doubt that the climate change deniers will go to great lengths to protect fellow travelers even it requires resorting to stealthy moderation. What I don't understand is why she didn't realize that this was going to place her front and center stage at #snipgate and #DMIgate.

I cNNOT

I owe an apology to the 57 ASIB readers who clicked my link to Judith Curry's blog only to find that comment joining Jim Hunt's in the memory hole. Apparently Judith defiantly desires her fifteen minutes of fame and #snipgate will definitely accomplish that for her.

Jim There is nothing sinister regarding the missing posts at Judith's, a few of mine got flushed down the memory hole when she cleaned up the mess after our name-jacking. She was very prompt with the cleanup and unfortunately she deleted a few genuine comments. I exchanged emails with her and am impressed by how well she handled the whole situation, especially considering the controversial content of my posts at her site. You may get a chuckle from my latest comment at her blog http://bit.ly/1KS03ZH

I was moved by this video of Larry Audlaluk, 65, a hunter and leader from Grise Fiord, Nunavut. He asks the prime minister what is the government’s plan to deal with the direct impact climate change has on Canadians in the North. http://bit.ly/1QCfEIQ The native people of the far north have a multi-generational knowledge of ice dynamics and climate that has so far been ignored but are most likely much more relevant than ship logs and pictures of submarines.

Jim, I didn't realize there was a Wingnut Alternate Reality (WAR) thread. I can't think of a better reason to finally introduce myself after many years of lurking. Willard/Tony may have shot himself in the foot early this morning and no matter how he spins it, WUWT and himself are the big losers. The discount viscount Monckton's constant need of protection and cover-up may be one the internet's best kept secrets. The upcoming U.S. presidential election may be the first ever where Climate Change will be an issue. In a perfect world, the wingnut astro-turf climate change spin machine may finally be exposed.
