Bishop Hill is a widely-read blog operated by Andrew Montford, author of The Hockey Stick Illusion. The blog was founded on November 21, 2006. At first focusing on British politics, Montford, after following a link from a blog posted by Tim Worstall to Climate Audit changed the blog's focus to Climate Change from a skeptical viewpoint. Montford`s layperson's explanations of the Hockey Stick debate have received favorable comment from readers such as Anthony Watts, Roger A. Pielke, Jr. and in The Spectator, specifically his summaries of posts from Climate Audit which he called "Caspar And The Jesus Paper" and "The Yamal Implosion"
Climate change advocacy
Andrew Orlowski, writing for The Register after it was revealed Lord Oxburgh who had been chosen by the University of East Anglia to head its inquiry into Climategate, actually had a leading role in a global warming campaign network called Globe International. This was quickly picked up by climate skeptic blogs.
A post on the blog led to the resignation of Philip Campbell, the editor in chief of Nature from the panel. In an interview with Chinese state radio when asked about the controversy, Campbell said that he believed nothing untoward had happened. The Guardian newspaper commented "The interview, posted on the Bishop Hill blog run by the climate skeptic Andrew Montford and shown on Channel 4 News, risked undermining Muir's claim that the inquiry team was impartial"
Comments and criticism
James Delingpole in his Telegraph blog wrote "Fortunately the great Bishop Hill has been doing some digging" when the blog found out that George Marshall, founder and director of projects at the Climate Outreach and Information Network had been funded to the tune of £700,000 over two years by DEFRA. And "Breaking news from the splendid Bishop Hill. It seems the AGW establishment has launched an urgent damage limitation exercise in order to whitewash the Climategate scandal in time for Copenhagen." He has also commented on his personal blog saying, "Bishop Hill has unearthed a jaw-dropping critique of the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report. His post’s so delightful there’s no need for embellishment"
Anthony Watts wrote on his Watts Up With That blog of Bishop Hill, "let me say that he is a succinct and careful writer who has earned praise from many (including myself and Steve McIntyre)"
Steve McIntyre on his blog Climate Audit wrote "Reader Perry writes in reporting an interesting narrative of the Caspar Ammann affair at Bishop Hill’s blog. It is a detailed narrative written in a lively style of a story that’s been followed here for a few years and re-visited last week with the release of the Ammann SI. The article is very flattering to the proprietor of this blog, I appreciate the interest and the thought. Most readers of the blog will enjoy the story, I did."
