Alexa bias

Hi. I have no problem with your edit to Climate Audit to remove Alexa stats. I'm just curious, why are they biased for science sites? Thanks. Crust 14:58, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Because its biased towards IE users, the scientific community has a larger than usual proportion of "other" browsers , and are less prone to include a plugin like Alexa (the last is my own conjecture) - See the Alexa page for this Kim D. Petersen 16:16, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation. That makes a lot of sense. Crust 16:23, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Monckton anti-article: Devil's Advocate section

Hi Kim,

I'm not sure it makes sense to edit within the Devil's Advocate section. That was intended for Edward to point out those sections in Monckton's article that he, as an open-minded but not specifically knowledgeable reader, found convincing. It's a heads-up to those who are working on composing the anti-article. The point of his recording that is to make sure that, when working on relevant sections of the anti-article, that these points are innoculated against.
The general plan, so far, seems to be: At the main page, get the anti-backgrounder fixed up, as this will provide the material for the anti-article. Then write up the anti-article. (There is actually a 2nd article, and a rejoinder in The Guardian; but if we can do the backgrounder and first article before, the others are relatively easy.)

Help needed

Hi Kim,

There are certain areas where some input would be good. I'm thinking of:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dbuckner/climate user page/DRAFT RESPONSE to Monckton's backgrounder, the topics:

Did rising carbon-dioxide end the Ice Age?
By how much have global temperatures..
By how much has sea level..

Some of this stuff requires expert attention, and at some point I plan to haul out a chunk and throw it into the mix at: http://tamino.wordpress.com/2006/11/16/monckton-part-1/
