Dr. Amand Leroi Dr Leroi was particularly concerned about a segment that featured a correlation between solar activity and global temperatures, which was based on a 1991 paper in the journal Science by Eigil Friis-Chris-tensen. He was surprised that the programme failed to mention that while these findings look convincing superficially, they have been revealed as flawed by subsequent research by Peter Laut.
Dr Leroi e-mailed Mr Durkin about his use of data, concluding: “To put this bluntly: the data that you showed in your programme were . . . wrong in several different ways.” He copied Mr Singh into the exchange.
Mr Durkin replied to both later that morning, saying: “You’re a big daft cock.”
Simon Singh replied to this, urging Durkin to engage in serious debate. Durkin responded by telling Singh to "go f*** yourself."
Durkin later apologised for his use of intemperate language.
* Free-thinking does not just mean choosing to believe whatever makes you feel good. There's no thought at all in that. *
Very interesting but I am not surprised. The only thing that surprises me is that anti-AGW defend Martin Durkin. He is a liability to the anti-AGW lobby.
The link talks about 'gullibility' but that's about all the connection I can see with TGGWS program. Of course we are gullible to believe the AGW theory and you have my sympathies
