[edit] Changes made by Chris Chittleborough 16 February 2006

  • Trimmed stuff about McIntyre which is not relevant to the blog - that stuff can go in the Stephen McIntyre article - most of what remains is there to explain the blog's name
  • Trimmed description of RealClimate -- details should go in that article not here
  • Removed Environmental Science & Technology from list of press references -- it is a specialised magazine, not part of "the press".
  • Moved sentences around, changed paragraph divisions.
  • Mentioned that the blog allows comments. Did not mention that comments are open to anyone who doesn't trigger SpamKarma, though certain non-climate topics (eg., entropy) are vigorously censored.
  • Removed POV attack on McIntyre whose only source was articles (actually a collection of ad-hominen attacks) in ES&T by Paul Thacker, a journalist. (The POV attack was added by User:216.143.112.239, an IP which tracks to ES&T or its publisher.)

[edit] Still a stub?

I did a minor cleanup today. Do readers think this is still a stub? Pete Tillman 19:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Problems with the website

Climate Audit is currently down with a 403 error. I haven't read any official news yet but the word on many blogs and internet forums is that they are being DOSed. Does anyone else have any further information? --Jayson Virissimo 02:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

My guess it is the Slashdot effect. --Kim D. Petersen 05:32, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Acronym expansions needed

User:KimDabelsteinPetersen made a nice addition (re Y2K climate-record errors), but we need expansions for these cryptic acronyms:

  • USHCN
  • GISS

Thanks in advance, Pete Tillman 18:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
