Roger Pielke Jr.<\/a> wrote a brief post today, which said only this:<\/p>\n

The UK blog Left Foot Forward has provided a glimpse at a study commissioned by Oxfam by the digital mapping agency Profero. The report is not yet available but the image above is suggestive as to what it might find. I always wondered what was at the center of the climate debate universe \ud83d\ude09 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The image in Roger’s post evidently tells use something about the communications network during the climategate story. I read Left Foot Forward’s<\/a> discussion of the report — which I understand is not yet publicly available.<\/a> The report evidently discussing the evolution of the climategate story, “tracking its progress from fringe blogs to mainstream media outlets over the ensuing weeks and months.”.The image reproduced at Roger’s blog and Left Foot Forward is supposed to “shed new insights into the way climate sceptics\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 networks operate.” <\/p>\n

Obviously, I can’t say whether I agree with the report; reading Left Foot Forward’s discussion, I suspect I’m going to agree with some things and disagree with others. <\/p>\n

What I do know is that if you want to better understand why the story moved so quickly, you need to add a circle to highlight the activities of the non-blogger whose actions on Nov. 19 and shortly there after was instrumental in causing coverage of the story spring up on numerous blogs almost simultaneously on Nov. 19. I’ve added the appropriate circle:<\/p>\n

As some of my readers know, my first post on climategate occurred on Nov. 19, 2009<\/a> and mentioned that Steve Mosher had alerted me that a link to zip files appeared in a comment on Jeff Id’s blog.<\/a> After that, all heck broke loose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
