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/
