Loiter Creekside for Skeptic Roasting

Check this Bowen Island blogger for an entertaining wrap of recent skeptic news.

Funny line of the day for climate change insiders:

The Natural Resources Stewardship Project, a Canadian environmental policy research think tank which evidently feels the need to put quotation marks around words like "green energy" and "environmentalists", lays out a strategy which quite likely involves a child blowing on a dandelion ....

Seriously, it's kind of wierd that Harris always signs his name like that. I don't sign my name and add in what my bachelor degree was in. I think he is trying to create the impression that he is some type of authority on global warming. The general public just sees a bunch of fancy creds after his name and assume he knows what he's talking about. Signed, Dr. Eviler, BA, MSc, PhD, esq.

Maybe the crowd he is hoping to reach would think that a Mech Eng degree would qualify him in climatology. Sort of like the other NRSP armchair science expert doing a correspondence degree on some old Hudson BaY data, according to the titles anyway, and then saying on CBC "I am the only one qualified to speak on global warming." Saw it with my own eyes. HHUH?

For non-doctorate engineers, and even for them the important qualification is PE (professional engineer) for which you have to sit an exam similar to the bar. That he lists bachelor's and master's degrees and not PE is a good indication that he is not.
