Talk:Benny Peiser

message: I do not wish to question that the majority of papers support the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Even so, it is simply untrue to claim that no sceptical papers have been published in the peer-reviewed literature. 
:Please, a page from Google cache? I don't need to mention the reasons why this isn't compelling evidence and can't be used in the article do I? FeloniousMonk 03:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Peer Reviewed

message: The original Dec 2004 essay in Science reported the words "climate change" in two places.  "That hypothesis was tested by analyzing 928 abstracts, published in refereed scientific journals between 1993 and 2003, and listed in the ISI database with the keywords "climate change" (9)."  "9.The first year for which the database consistently published abstracts was 1993. Some abstracts were deleted from our analysis because, although the authors had put "climate change" in their key words, the paper was not about climate change."
This reportedly was corrected by Science to "global climate change" in the Jan. 14 2005 issue, which requires login on the site so unfortunate, I can't quote it or see if it was a change or a retraction instead.  That information is from Dr. Pieser's letter on his website where Etta Kavanagh, an Associate Letters Editor said "A correction dealing with the mistake in the search terms ("global climate change" vs. "climate change") was published in our Jan. 14 issue."  It's also been reported on the RealClimate blog as well as a Washington Post Editorial by Dr. Oreskes.
:Does anyone have a copy of the correction article that is available publicly to read?  Or a copy that can be noted from or linked to or quoted from?  http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/sci;308/5724/952  Science itself has made the essay available, but for some reason not the correction.

thread_title: Search Terms

message: All the links to http://www.staff.livjm.ac.uk/spsbpeis/ (and there are a lot of them in the article) seem to be dead. The pages don't seem to be on the Liverpool John Moores site anywhere; and if they are somewhere else on the internet, I can't find them.  I put the staff page as one replacement link, but it seems to be an older version than the one from which the "Bibliography of published works" was copied.  On that point, Peiser's staff profile (and the original one, too, as I remember) calls this list "recent publications".  Shouldn't we too, rather than imply that that's all he's done? N p holmes (talk) 11:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems as if they are currently changing their website, and have gotten another site structure. Peiser's staff page is now http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/sportandexercisesciences/76407.htm. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 13:58, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, sorry, I expressed myself badly. That one I could find; and I put it in place of the old one (except I missed that it recurred in footnote 3 - I'll do that now if you haven't done it already).  But the page doesn't have links to the subpages where Peiser kept his papers and whatever.  So there are three other footnotes now pointing nowhere. N p holmes (talk) 14:08, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Specifically footnotes 6, 11 and 12 . N p holmes (talk) 14:09, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, since the site seems to have just changed. We have the option of waiting for it to get updated. I believe thats the wise choice. We could also see how much of it can be found via archive.org links, especially if it continues. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 16:03, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Corrections from Peiser

message: I have been through the article and moved content around to make it read better. In particular I have re-organised the introduction to pull all the core information about his interests and history together in one place in three short paragraphs and have moved information about his research interests into a new section. I also created a climate change section since this seems to be key interest of his at present and moved the details about Oreskes paper into that section as a subsection. Within that Oreskes section I changed the link 'Global warming' to 'climate change'to avoid any confusion. PeterEastern (talk) 15:50, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  New link 

message: I am the Tim Osborn who is from the Climatic Research Unit. Hence please bear in mind possible conflicts of interest that I may have with respect to this article (e.g. that Dr Peiser has previously criticised CRU).  My edits here are about factual matters concerning Dr Peiser's affiliation and whether the links to external sources work or not. TimOsborn (talk) 23:08, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Earlier this year, in response to a question about his status with them, I received the following information from LJMU: "I must inform you that Dr Peiser ceased to be a member of staff at LJMU during July 2010 and I can confirm that he does not have any visiting or honorary role within LJMU." I will edit the page later to reflect this change in his status. TimOsborn (talk) 10:54, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Perhaps because he is no longer at LJMU, none of the external links to URLs of Dr Peiser's LJMU webpages appear to be working.  This article relies on quite a few of those.  I'm not sure what should be done in this case (I'm new to Wikipedia) -- they obviously worked at some point, so the information they support is not wrong just because the webpages may have gone.  Advice needed from more experienced editors: do we just leave the external links even though they are (currently) dead? TimOsborn (talk) 23:08, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  No longer at Liverpool John Moores Uni 

message: The article title "Cambridge Conference Network" now redirects to this article, for reasons stated on the former article's Talk page.  In short, that article duplicated information in this article.  -- HLachman (talk) 04:46, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  CCNet article now redirects here 

message: I'm not comfortable editing, so I'm just going to make a suggestion. The language is:
"Benny Peiser, social anthropologist at Liverpool's John Moores University, is director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, who was concerned about the hysterical nature of climate change rhetoric."
That statement claims that the rhetoric surrounding climate change is objectively "hysterical" (which is a misogynist word, by the way). Please either put the word "hysterical" in quotes or make it "who was concerned about what he claimed was the hysterical nature of climate change rhetoric."
Thank you  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.113.39.184 (talk) 03:33, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I made the suggested edit as it matched the source better. However most of the GWPF section isn't needed here as it mostly doesn't refer to the subject of this page and ought to be at GWPF instead, to avoid duplication.  Any supporting or contrary views? TimOsborn (talk) 21:38, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: TimOsborn's suggestion sounds reasonable to me.  -- HLachman (talk) 11:27, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
