House of Games
If David Mamet were to pay attention to the climate blogosphere, he might conclude that certain parts of it were stagecraft. And he might write a devilish story along the lines of this masterpiece.
Just to be clear: I’m referring not to climate science, but the machinations of assorted players (major and minor) across the spectrum.
Keith:
If Mamet were to pen such a play, he would most certainly include the scientists as leading actors and the Hockey Stick as the main piece of stagecraft. The bloggers would fill in the character roles. Your non-referral to climate science smacks of jock-sniffing. Why are you journalists so afraid of Gavin Schmidt? Did you read his pathetic hissy-fit at Judith Curry’s blog? There is no there, there.
Unfortunately, there is no middle ground with Mamet: either his work is brilliant or pedestrian. House of Games is something we can both agree on.
This serie reminded me of the Spanish Prisoner:
