The him is yet another anonymous blog comment. It's clear from the
context that these are not climate models. Just because AFPhys'
models are lousy doesn't imply that others are. The climate models
match the observed data while AFPhys' didn't. This is yet another
example why Janice should refrain from quoting Free Republic. The
article in question involved a paper in Science ( http://
www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/314/5799/652 ) and was
analyzed by Science Daily ( http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/
2007/02/070215185518.htm ). Did she quote from either of them? No.
Did the anonymous comments appended have ANYTHING to say good, bad,
or indifferent about the research in question? No. It's too bad
because the article was about understanding the genetic mechanism
behind how algae helps with respect to global warming. There could be
a genetic engineering angle here, too. In other words, it was some
good news with respect to global warming, but you wouldn't know it
because of Janice's obscurantist quoting techniques.
