Famed science denier and upper-class twit Viscount Monckton of Brenchley is adding even more comedy to his recent science-denying stunt in the non-peer-reviewed newsletter of the American Physical Society. After attempting to spin the fact that the APS printed his debunked, half-baked argument as "proof" that the American Physical Society had suddenly changed their views on the scientific consensus on climate change, the Viscount had the rug promptly pulled out from under him when APS added the following disclaimer to his article:
The following article has not undergone any scientific peer review. Its conclusions are in disagreement with the overwhelming opinion of the world scientific community. The Council of the American Physical Society disagrees with this article's conclusions.
After having been thoroughly trounced by the weight of his own poor argument, the Viscount is now fighting this injustice using the tried-and-true science-denier technique of whining about it in uproariously twittish fashion:
If the Council has not scientifically evaluated or formally considered my paper, may I ask with what credible scientific justification, and on whose authority, the offending text asserts primo, that the paper had not been scientifically reviewed when it had; secundo, that its conclusions disagree with what is said (on no evidence) to be the "overwhelming opinion of the world scientific community"; and, tertio, that "The Council of the American Physical Society disagrees with this article's conclusions"?
