Pointman gives annual award: ‘CLIMATE PRAT OF 2013 – WE HAVE A WINNAH!’ ‘This year’s winner, is Dana Nuccitelli’
'Nuccitelli tweets incessantly like a disturbed flock of starlings, works indirectly for big oil and big mining, makes marvellous blunders like mistakenly calling a stalwart of the alarmist cause a denier, is profoundly confused about so many things and is generally on a huge ego trip that cannot end in anything other than tears. Bless him, bless him and his pointy little head...He so sincerely believes in all the rubbish he spouts but actually doesn’t appear to know much if anything about a lot of it.'
'Most of the usual lunatics have been very quiet this year. Al “I sold out to big oil” Gore, has been nearly invisible except for a half-hearted attempt at rekindling the old fires with another one of his Climate Reality Events whose reception was so apathetic, nobody actually noticed it was on until it was nearly over. James Hanson, after his parting of the ways with NASA, has largely sunk out of sight, to the point where he only attracted one nomination this year. With a showing like that, it’s doubtful he’ll even be nominated next year.'
