Top ten lists

In the alternative reality, there are the best papers in climate science and these are the worst.

Everything in the part of my taxonomy about skeptics is demonstrated:
  • - weak grasp of climate physics
  • - consequent overemphasis on statistics
  • - very confused idea of the history of climate science
  • - very confused idea of the state of the scientific culture.
Update: Eli was here before me.

That second link is funny. Her top two "research papers" are speeches.
