	The UnAustralian
		John Hunter has an interesting tale of poor fact checking on the part of Australian science skeptic John Daly.
		Daly apparently had a article on urban heat islands, which listed the temperature of Heathrow Airport, and also much cooler temperatures from locations further away from Heathrow.
		Writing in the Guardian, was Chris de Freitas (who is incidentally one of the more well known climate skeptics, the editor responsible for the Climate Research scandal and the Associate Director of the School of Geography and Environmental Science at the University of Auckland) who used the numbers without bothering to check their accuracy.

	LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL: NEWS: UNLV DEBATE: Scientists disagree on global warmin...
		John Daly, a college electronics teacher from the island of Tasmania, makes a point Friday during a debate at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on global warming.
		Daly is a skeptic of that theory, saying what little warming has occurred is attributable to a cyclic pattern of heating and cooling.
		UNLV was Daly's third stop on a speaking tour of the United States, one that he said is self-financed and not supported financially by the coal industry.

	G. E. Moore [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Rejecting skepticism on the one hand, and, on the other, metaphysical theories that would invalidate the commonsense beliefs of “ordinary people” (non-philosophers), Moore articulated three different versions of a commonsense-realist epistemology over the course of his career.
		By stonewalling the skeptic in this way, Moore was in effect refusing to recognize that, lacking a plausible, direct realist account of cognition, there are legitimate grounds for questioning the truth of CS propositions.
		That is because every skeptical proposition worth its salt is going to rest on some speculative account of the ontology of cognition that puts a mental surrogate (such as a proposition or a sense-datum) in place of what we would normally say was the object of our experience.

	Skeptic: The Magazine: Featured Article
		David Buller is “deeply skeptical” of what he calls EP’s two “defining doctrines.” First, that the human mind is “massively modular,” composed of a myriad of independent, special purpose (“domain-specific”) modules, each evolved to help our ancestors survive and reproduce during the hunter-gather period of human evolution.
		While Daly and Wilson found that children under five who lived with a genetic parent and a stepparent were 40 times more likely to suffer abuse than those living with both genetic parents, his NIS-3 data show that they were only 3.3 times more likely to be abused.
		Daly and Wilson reply that if stepfathers were always caught while genetic fathers usually get away with it, “there would have to have been more than 500 undiscovered paternal murders [in Canada] each year,” above the average of 4 that are detected, to make the two rates equal.

	What's Wrong With Still Waiting for Greenhouse
		John Daly often referred to the `Greenhouse Industry' in an effort to suggest that scientists and policy-makers involved in climate change gain a benefit from over-emphasising the probable effects of anthropogenic global warming (see for example).
		Secondly, John Daly's article gave the distinct impression that the paper indicates that records used `for detection of genuine climate change' from cities of the size of Hobart or Melbourne are corrupted by urban heat island (UHI) effects as large as 6 or 7 deg.
		John Daly was also allowed to tape the talk, so he had a record of all that was said.

	Against Derksen: Status of JP2
		Since they do not profess John Paul II to be a pope, then that means he is the head of a body which is distinct from the Catholic Church.
		Conclusion: John Paul II cannot have been the Pope at least from the moment he promulgated his 1983 Code of Canon Law (1/25/1983), as the indefectibility of the Catholic Church prevents any true Pope from authoritatively promulgating evil laws as contained in the 1983 Code.
		Joseph Moreaux: This is the essence of Mario's reason for not believing John Paul II to be a true pope, and logically both premises form to their logical conclusion.

		John Christy from the University of Alabama is one of the main sceptics.
		Furthermore, John Daly characterises people who think the greenhouse effect is real as ‘believers’ as if there were some type of religious faith involved.
		As a `skeptic' of global warming, the failure of the IPCC in their 1995 report to adress the issue of the satellite temperature measurements rendered that report as a biased and partisan document.

	The Nenana Ice Classic 2002
		John Daly wrote an excellent review [7] of the paper, documenting many problems with fundamental assumptions and analytical treatment of the data.
		One of the more egregious inconsistencies, identified by Daly, was the omissions on the 2001 results from both the analysis and the graph in Fig.
		If there is any credibility to the claim that the time of ice breakup at Nenana is a valid proxy of prevailing climatic conditions, the 2001 results were significant because they occurred later than the average historical breakup date.

	Climate Audit - by Steve McIntyre » John Hunter on Sea Levels
		John A (a) is so naive as to think that we wouldn’t have bothered to investigate atmospheric pressure in our study, and (b) after many pleas from myself, he STILL hasn’t gone back and read the basic literature.
		I suspect the theory John would put forward, at heart, is that statistically speaking, if there’s (at least) a 50/50 chance that any particular person is more correct than John Daly was then the chances that the ‘concensus’ is better must be astronomically high.
		John Hunter claims that the well respected Captain Ross when setting up a sea level mark was stupid enough to set it up at high water mark when the Naval standard was Mean Sea Level.

	Cold Facts on Global Warming
		Although the estimates of global warming made by the IPCC and the predictions of "environmental catastrophe" made by environmental groups have gradually creeping back down as climate models gradually improve, environmentalists still worry that temperatures could increase by as much as 3 to 5 degrees over the next century.
		Skepticism is warranted when considering computer-generated projections of global warming that cannot even predict existing observations.

	Leading Greenhouse Scientist Recants? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		James Hansen led the Greenhouse charge in 1988 when he announced to a stunned Congressional hearing that the mid-west drought of that year was the beginning of Greenhouse.
		With his warnings ringing in their ears, Congress has spent $10 billion on the Climate Change Program, mostly focused on GHG (greenhouse gas) modelling, only to learn from the same man 10 years later that Greenhouse skeptics may have been right all along.
		While Hansen's change of heart is welcome, it should be remembered that there was no lack of warnings over these years by skeptic scientists that basic scientific principles were being compromised in the stampede to sell Greenhouse warming to the public.
