Here’s What Livescience Doesn’t Want You To Read
A comment of mine “disappeared” from Liescience. Surprise, surprise! Here it is then:

Sometimes I do despair..it all looks like a theater where everybody feels they need to play their usual, tired characters…
Noaa _cloud_ researcher; “it is not newsworthy”
Once upon a time we were told only peer-reviewed research was important. Now there is a peer-reviewed paper with a brand new tack on clouds&climate. If that is not newsworthy then what is?
Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at texas a&m university: “he’s taken an incorrect model, he’s tweaked it to match observations, but the conclusions you get from that are not correct”
Talk about having an a priori, unchangeable opinion…
Dessler, the A&M climatologist said that he doubted the research would shift the political debate around global warming.
Do clouds care about what a climatologist has to say about the political debate around global warming? Is this ‘Livescience’ or ‘Livepolitics’?
Gavin Schmidt, a NASA goddard climatologist: “Climate sensitivity is not constrained by the last two decades of imperfect satellite data, but rather the paleoclimate record.”
Lord Oxburgh of Oxburgh Climategate Review fame told the UK parliament that “it probably would have been true” to say that “it was actually impossible to reconstruct temperatures over the last thousand years”
Kevin Trenberth: “I cannot believe it got published,”
Of course he cannot. Trenberth is in the scientific dissent suppression business.
Journalist:
Scientists have shown that as the planet warms water vapor, and thus clouds, will increase, trapping even more heat
Have shown? Talk about prejudice…shouldn’t reporting remain separate from a journalist’s opinion?
The study, published july 26 in the open-access online journal remote sensing, got public attention when a writer for the heartland institute
the paper was mostly unnoticed in the public sphere until the forbes blogger declared it “extremely important.
It’s just two days!! And the paper was mostly unnoticed because Livescience fails at his mission “to satisfy curious readers” and never reports on papers that don’t agree with mainstream climate science.
University of Alabama, Huntsville researcher Roy Spencer, is a climate change skeptic and controversial figure within the climate research community
No climate scientist contacted by Livescience agreed.
Spencer is a climate scientist himself. Was that too difficult to report?
The Unbearable Nakedness of CLIMATE CHANGE 
Gavin Schmidt seems to be echoing Shakespeare too:
The sensitivity of climate is not constrained
It droppeth like the gentle dew from heaven
Sorry Maurizio, you’ll have to excuse us English arts graduate types. After a few years of following this story, it’s hard to take anything scientists say seriously.
That old Shakespearian quote “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”, seems curiously apt, here. That this research has provoked such a loud and immediate chorus of protest suggests, in itself, that Dr Spencer could well be onto something very significant.
