This week we re pleased to highlight a paper by Sergei Samoilenko and John Cook, the latter name likely familiar to many as Dr. Cook is the founder of Skeptical Science. Published in Climate Policy, Samoilienko & Cook s Developing an Ad Hominem Typology for Classifying Climate Misinformation codifies, categorizes and analyzes a large sample of ad hominem arguments derived from numerous contrarian blogs and think-tanks, distilling the following key results:

Torpid summer publication
It s rare these days that a New Research edition sports fewer than 100 new publications, but as with every late summer it seems a lot of folks are on holiday just now. Our listing is driven by journal article publication notices feeding our queries to the academic digital object identifier system (DOI), employing several academic article database API products for compilation. This week s edition is typical of this time of year; not only are there apparently sliightly fewer fresh publications coming through the editorial mill but also articles are not appearing in the DOI system as expeditiously as usual. Or so we hypothesize from empirical evidence, here finding 41 articles not yet recorded as DOI thus exaggerating the effect of a slightly scantier than usual raw feed. Presumably there ll be a bulge coming along; we queue articles for re-query when they fail to appear as DOI.

Dawning recognition of the gravity of climate change rapidly lead to questions about how the world ocean would respond to warming, naturally leading to what happens at shorelines? This evolution is fully covered in The evolving landscape of sea-level rise science from 1990 to 2021, Danial Khojasteh et al., Communications Earth & Environment:
