The Cartoons by Josh 2013 Calendar Page

If you have a Calendar and wish to read the stories behind the cartoons then this is the page to read.

January

The central cartoon is of Richards Betts (@richardabetts on Twitter).
The BishopHill post is here. Richard is one of several scientists from the UK's Met Office,
who are widely respected for their friendly, open and positive discussions with climate sceptics.
He also liked his cartoon.

The other cartoon story links are as follows:
The Green Agenda • Climate Homeopathy • Desperate Measures • Too Big To Know

February

The main story this month was Fakegate and concerned Peter Gleick who confessed to
using a false name to obtain and then leak documents about Heartland Institute finances,
including one of which was clearly fake. Leo Hickman of the Guardian
leapt on the story at first but became slightly exposed
when it was clear the whole story had been made up.
But it seems that Climate Activists dont think lying is a bad thing and were happy to say so.

In other news someone thought Windfarms only made cash register noises. Also this month
was the happy news that the Himalayas had lost no ice in the last 10 years.

March

Three stories this month. Opengate  is about the exposure of Skeptical Science's secret forum.
The Fakegate story continued with a cartoon for a post at Climate Audit.
Michael Mann launched his book to much  media hype,
but I felt he was being set up as bait for something that would eat him whole. Like facts.

April

The first cartoon 'Hype' is here. The 'Expert Opinion' cartoon compares
Climatology to some other soft 'ologies'.
Lastly, James Hansen is gently led back down to earth - read about it here.
