I’ll try to talk him into giving me a ribbon, though. Perhaps when I’ll see him and a razor in a couple of days’ time…

I think we need awards like those at statefairs. Everyone gets a ribbon. Only one person gets “Grand Champion”, but tons of people get first prize!

“Yes some people have e-mailed me to express their dismay that I didn’t make the finalist list. I confessed to being a tad pissed off for about an hour.”

This guy’s pretty full of himself.

“So, I say in December when the data come out, we calculate the OLS trend based on the six months from June-Nov. for GISS only and for the three groups you used in your graph at Anthony’s blog.

* If the trend for GISS comes out lower than the average of the three groups, you bake me a dozen cookies.
* If the trend GISS trend is higher, I bake you a dozen cookies.
* In the event of an absolute tie… we send cookies to an agreed on third party.”

Turns out that we could have resolved this one in December. I’ll see if I can find the time to update my data and chart this stuff in the next few days. You can do the same. Then we can see what’s cooking. I guess this bet is basically to see if Hansen’s already large divergence would continue to increase over the period.

I’m more than a little surprised. Every time I’ve gone there to try to guide the discussion in the direction of climate issues, their response has always been, “Oh, we’ve already discussed and closed that subject”. Basically meaning that all there was to do was fawn over whatever political AGW issue they were currently supporting and sing with the choir.

Lucia, don’t you and I have some kind of cookie bet that we should be able to resolve once the December global surface temp numbers come out. I’ll have to see if I can find the old thread where we made it. One of us should be eating home baked pastery before the month is over.

“So, I guess that makes 5 climate blogs nominated– but spread over 3 categories.”

Hmmm! So what is the third category that lists a climate/science blog and what blog? You know what a nosey parker I am.

“BTW, Lucia, yours and Jennifer Marohasy’s are a couple of the better blogs around.”

I don’t know if you know but Jennifer Marohasy is nominated under Best Online Community.

BTW, Lucia, yours and Jennifer Marohasy’s are a couple of the better blogs around. I do agree with the others about WUWT, Climate Science, Prometheus and CA. I am surprised that there is no mention of Bob Tisdale’s, Climate Observations, http://bobtisdale.blogspot.com/ Jeff Id’s, The Air Vent, http://noconsensus.wordpress.com/ David Stockwell’s Niche Modeling http://landshape.org/enm/ and Maurizio Morabito’s, The Unbearable Nakedness of CLIMATE CHANGE, http://omniclimate.wordpress.com/ (extra points given for the name.)

All have some very interesting insights into the science and politics of CC/AGW.

Just keep it in a separate tub. Mustn’t let the classes mix. Red Heart needs to know it’s place. At the back of the bus. In the lower levels of the Titanic.

(damn there are a lot of knitting blogs!)

I didn’t really think she knew how to do that, though, so I felt a little bad about asking. But after enough Christmases go by, you finally say something. There were years and years of Old Spice aftershave, when I don’t use anything!

Anyhow, when I got the sweater that year it was stunning. She totally knew all those tricks! I just had to ask! (I have a friend who says you should do the same thing with sex, but I’ve found that I don’t really have any special needs in intercourse.)

I find Joe Romm’s reaction comical. You’re right, it’s not a science blog but a policy activist blog. It would get my vote for best comedy bog. Kiss his butt and you’re allowed in, otherwise you’re a flat-earth denialist bent on destroying the earth. RC would be OK if they weren’t so arrogant and had a rational discussion of counter points. Their circular arguments never cease to amaze me.

It’s a no-brainer – a toss-up between WUWT and CA.

By the way, for us foreigners, who is Joe Romm? Some kind of politico with a big chip on his shoulder?
