As regular readers will have realised by now, we are subject to a continuing barrage of verbal abuse as we fearlessly pursue our goal of telling the truth about the Arctic whatever the obstacles. Following the latest such episode we have consulted our learned counsel and decided to publish the spiciest episodes here. By the time August 2015 draws to a close a poll of our loyal reader(s) will determine which of our utterers of undeleted expletives will be awarded a wild card entry into the 2015 Great White Con Arctic Basin Big Wave Surfing Contest.

Here are the contestants so far this year:

1) Tony (“Steve Goddard”) Heller, with:

World class wanker

2) David (“Climate of Hate“) Rose, with:

3) Roger (“TallBloke”) Tattersall, UKIP’s Yorks and North Lincs Energy and Climate Change spokesman and prospective parliamentary candidate for Pudsey, with:

4) Gail Combs, regular commenter at unReal Science amongst other places, with:

Jim, How does it feel to be morally responsible for the deaths of thousands of people a year?
