The other chief forecaster is Joseph D’Aleo, who also runs http://icecap.us/index.php/go/experts

It’s a very small world.

Bastardi, I know for his spectacularly bad sea ice statements and predictions.

His imaginary quotes and presumption that scientists cherry pick their data is so much more convincing than the tens of thousands of actual, researched conclusions reached by scientists over the last 50 plus years of climate research. Well done. <–Sarcasm

It was 1 degree colder than normal yesterday. There goes 50 years of climate change research. So much for global warming.”

That short-term cooling trend will give the cherry picking, arm chair scientists a season full of ammunition to fire on the forums and comment sections. They’ll make a lot of noise but they’ll be shooting blanks.
