Inconvenient Truths

Excerpt:

Nowhere in the traditionally refereed scientific literature do we find any support for Gore’s hypothesis. Instead, there’s an unrefereed editorial by NASA climate firebrand James E. Hansen, in the journal Climate Change — edited by Steven Schneider, of Stanford University, who said in 1989 that scientists had to choose “the right balance between being effective and honest” about global warming — and a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that was only reviewed by one person, chosen by the author, again Dr. Hansen.

I had my annual review today and it was the worst annual review I've had in 13 years with the company. So much for the joy and challenge of my new job (now 8 months into it).

I've been relegated to the "just average".

I am surprising calm about this. But I did email my previous manager in BCP to ask if he had any openings. Would I go back? Probably.
