SkS Weekly Digest #16
SkS Highlights
The SkS author team went into high gear this week defending the integrity of SkS from a baseless criticism leveled by Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. on his blog site. The context of this unfortunate episode is documented in Dana's excellent article, One-Sided 'Skepticism'.
Although his blog site does not allow comments , Pielke did post comments on the thread to Dana's article. Included in Pielke's comments is the following statement about Anthony Watts:
"I have worked with Anthony and he is devoted to the highest level of scientific robustness."
