My colleague Ben Hale, a fellow professor of Environmental Studies here at Colorado and apparently a philosopher of some sort, has a new blog. Ben is wicked smart, so his blog is sure to be well worth a daily visit. I see in his most recent post that he has ventured into commentary on the Hockey Stick controversy. Ben's insights are worth hearing because he is coming to this fresh and he is a straight shooter. But he doesn't yet seem to have all the details right, could some of you guys head over there and set him straight? I'm sure he'll welcome your visit, but be careful-- only get into a debate with Ben if you are fully prepared. You've been warned ;-)
