    "Steven Goddard is a global warming skeptic and guest author at the climate change skeptic blog WattsUpWithThat (WUWT). The name ÔÇ£Steven GoddardÔÇØ is a pseudonym used by Tony Heller, according to the Heartland Institute. [2]

    Goddard is known for a 2008 article in The Register where he posited that Arctic Sea ice is not receding and claimed that data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) showing the opposite was incorrect. Goddard later issued a retraction on his statement. [3], [4]"

    Oops.

    Hitching one's wagon to this guy is not a good idea.

    "August 15, 2008

    Steven Goddard Published an article titled Arctic ice refuses to melt as ordered in The Register. Goddard claimed that the National Snow and Ice Data Center plot of the extent of Arctic Sea Ice was wrong. However, on August 25, Goddard retracted his claim, saying that  it is clear that the NSIDC graph is correct, and that 2008 Arctic ice is barely 10% above last year - just as NSIDC had stated.

    Whoops!

    "Steve Goddard does not have a background in climate science. He has primarily published his articles in blogs and newspapers using a pseudonym, and it is unlikely he has ever published in a peer-reviewed journal on the subject."

    :woah:
