The spotlight is shining brighter on the research done so far, and the public is starting to realize that it is not a pretty picture when the measurement techniques and the projections are taken in the entirety. This is no TOE. Climate is a far more complex issue, and the research is in its infancy. Claims of consensus just do not resonate in peoples’ minds.

Fortunately, the world’s press checked out SEPP’s credentials and the original paper and realised that it was nonsense.I’m joking, of course. Numerous gullible sites — mostly local rags, but also Fox News — put up the press release as fact. One site claimed it was a huge multi-university research effort, rather than a minor paper by some contrarians.DeSmogBlog has some good links.
