It said : “As Morning Fizz reported, KUOW decided to stop broadcasting longtime KUOW Weekday weatherman Cliff Mass. As Mass, a UW meteorologist, explained on his blog, KUOW didn’t like that he was voicing his (unflattering) opinions about UW.” The letter goes on to say some nice things., such a the fact that Dr. Mass volunteered his time to do the broadcasts. I’ll correct my article about your credentials.

This brings up another important question for Dr. Mass. Do you receive any financial support or perks that can be traced to fossil fuel companies or their lobbyists?

It was on a weather blog and it did not seem worhty of a real scientist. Are you denying that was your blog? I’ll check out your claims and correct the article if needed. It seems more worthy of a discredited TV weatherman, than an atmospheric scientist. How many scientists start their article with a cartoon lampooning fellow scientists? If you have found an error in Dr. Hansen’s work, why don’t you submit it to a referreed journal?

First, I have NEVER been a TV weatherman and was not released from a TV gig due to controversial statements. I am a professor of atmospheric sciences at the university of washington, have published roughly 100 articles in the refereed literature, with at least 12 on climate topics. I have co-authored papers with Steve Schneider and Carl Sagan.

One of the things I have noted, as have others, was that Hansen made a mistake in the method used to create his distributions…and error that causes the PDFs to be widened for recent years. Anyway, there is a lot more wrong with this article…but that is enough for now…cliff mass
