Anthony Watts: Disastrously Wrong Again
Pseudo-scientist Anthony Watts of the “Watts Up With That” climate change denial blog posted a bold prediction earlier this year — he said this summer would decisively show that the polar ice cap had stopped declining. He guaranteed this, in fact.
Now the scientific measurements have been taken, and the results are in, and Watts’s prediction is revealed as the denialist propaganda it is; in fact, polar ice has declined to historically low levels, and this summer, both the Northwest Passage and the Northeast Passage were completely clear of ice for the first time in recorded history. Watts is a hack and a fraud, posing as a scientist to feed his right wing audience the soothing false claims they want to hear.
Environmentalist Peter Sinclair’s new video makes this very clear.
UPDATE at 11/22/10 2:51:56 pm:
To be precise, it was not Anthony Watts who predicted the sea ice would rebound, but one of his blog co-authors. The point remains that the false prediction was promoted by Watts Up With That.
