Credential fudging and climate denial

Ball has been represented in the media as a climatologist (Canada's first, don'tcha know?) who has held a professorship for upward of twenty-eight years. However, he carefully omits this in his curriculum vitae.^[2] In fact, he was a professor of geography with a focus in historical climate who retired in 1996. When the Calgary Herald published a letter^[3] that questioned the credentials listed for Ball (in an article in which Ball attacked Tim Flannery^[4]) Ball sued for libel, while admitting that he had not been a professor for twenty-eight years.^[5] (Don't think too hard about that or it might make your head hurt.) Before the suit was dropped (against 3 defendants), Tim Lambert of Deltoid dared Ball to sue him, too.^[6] Lambert also expressed doubt over the relevance of Ball's research:

Eli Rabett has created the "Tim Ball Award for Resume Stretching" in his honor.^[8]

Even within the deniosphere, Ball hasn't come up with anything new or impressive. All he does is constantly repeat points refuted a thousand times about solar cycles and how carbon dioxide is plant food. For example, take a look at his ingenious "refutation" of rising sea levels where he just puts some ice cubes in a glass and lets them melt.

readers of this blog will realize that it is the Award Season. In past years, the Bunny Blog has asked for nominations for the S. Fred for Climatology Incoherence and Eli hisself was awarded second and fourth in the Bag of Rocks sponsored by cohenite. Now in past years, Eli has admonished Marc Morano, by giving him the Gold Plated Mouse, for lazy cut and paste posting. Marc works as Sorcerers Apprentice to Wizzer Inhofe, butMarc has a little list he keeps adding to. Last year there were 400 folk who are scientists, might have met one once, or has played golf with one. Now there are 650

Thus, the Tim Ball Award for Resume Stretching. Tim, you may remember, was the former First Ever Climatologist in Canada who got called and stomped on by Dan Johnson, for, well, resume stretching.

Morano is in charge of nominations and, thanks to his strenuous cut and pasting, and quality decontrol, we have some new high qualitynominations....

controversial Delaware state climatologist steps down

July 19, 2011

University of Delaware professor David Legates has stepped down as State Climatologist in a flurry of speculation.

But Legates says rumors he was fired for his contentious views that people do not cause global warming couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Legates became State Climatologist in 2005, when his predecessor, Dan Leathers, left to serve as Deputy Dean of UD’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment.

“When Dan became Chair of the Department, we agreed that we would swap hats and at some point in the future, when he stepped down from administration, we would swap them back,” said Legates in a letter to his climatology colleagues in the hopes of clearing up any confusion. “On July 1, Dan resigned as Deputy Dean of our College. In June, he had asked me if I would honor the Gentleman’s agreement that we had made about seven years ago and I said I would.”
