There are a couple of lessons we can take away from this ordeal. The first is
that it takes far more time and effort to do rigorous science than it does to
attack it.
This brings us to the second take-home message. Viciously attacking a
researcher at one of Australia’s leading universities as a “bimbo” and a
“brain-dead retard” doesn’t do much to encourage professional climate
scientists to engage with the scores of online amateur enthusiasts.
