Idiots hanging their hats on another failed paper.
Anthony Watts has found another insignificant paper on climate sensitivity

Anthony Watts has found an insignificant and wrong paper on climate sensitivity. He thinks it's significant because it claims that climate sensitivity is only 0.43°C. But what would he know?
It wasn't really Anthony Watts who found the paper. It was one of Anthony's blogging denier mates, "hockeyschtick", who he turns to when he needs to fill a space at WUWT. (WUWT article is archived here.)
This insignificant and wrong paper is in some new (insignificant?) journal that calls itself "Open Journal of Atmospheric and Climate Change" and so far (since May 2014) has published two issues with a total of eleven papers. It has one "paper in press", which is the one that Anthony Watts likes.
paper in press is by Hermann Harde, who says he hails from Experimental Physics and Materials Science, Helmut-Schmidt-University, Hamburg. I checked - here and archived here. It looks as if he's not a full time academic there, he's listed as "ehemalige", which Google translates as "former" and might be the same as "adjunct". It could mean he is allowed to keep his association with the university, but is no longer employed there. Perhaps someone who is familiar with universities in Germany can explain.
Old CROCK gives up his information source showing where he derives his stupidity from..
Yes. It comes from Anthony Watts good friends Willis Eschenbach published on WUWT
Tht Boys at SKS playing with broken models.....
There is no mention of or link to Skeptical Science in Old Rocks post. The quotations (with links) from Willis Eschenbach on WUWT came via an article on HotWhopper.com
Defaming real scientists all the while holding up thief's and whores as those to follow..
Neither Anthony Watts nor Willis Eschenbach have ever been scientists. Neither has the education. Neither has ever held a job in research. Herman Harde WAS a scientists, but is now retired. The "journal" in which his paper was published is NOT an established one.
SO for the alarmists, being retired is now just one more reason to defame people who expose their lies.
It would indicate that they are NOT conducting active research, that whatever work they are accomplishing is being done with their own resources and conducted from the comfort of the recliner in their den. The proportion of "scientists" who deniers name as notable supporters who also happen to be retired, unemployed and of advanced age is beyond significant.
