Matt Ridley is an idiot

The Idiot Tracker has a post on Ridley, largely denouncing him for praising Willis Eschenbach.

    Spencer.

    > here's Willis trying to defend himself from Roy Spenser's complaint that is stole from 20-year-old climate papers

    "is"? Should be "he", perhaps?

    And that's a reply to a comment, not part of the post, and not a reply to Spencer.

    Spencer's comment, slightly rephrased, that the Watties like WE lack all context and pointlessly repeat (badly) ab initio work that others have done better is entirely accurate, though.

    Ridley is indeed an idiot, and the cognoscenti have known this for some time: http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/2012/12/22/cage-fight-ridley-vs-romm/
