Tim Ball: Finding New Ways to Fudge His Credentials
CLICK HERE FOR AN UPDATED BIO OF TIM BALL (FEB.05, 2007)
In a September 26, 2006 letter to the Royal Society, Dr. Tim Ball, the leading signatory, identifies himself as "Professor of Climatology, University of Winnipeg."
Not quite. From 1988 until his retirement in 1996, Dr. Ball was a Professor of Geography at that university. He has not, since, had any official position at U of W or at any university. So, he is not now a Professor of Climatology at the University of Winnipeg and, arguably, never was.
It raises the question: if he is this cavalier about the factual accuracy of his own record of employment and credentials, how could he expect us to believe any of the rest of what he says?

I visited your page and found that it wasn't impressive response.

Try looking harder. The older versions that they could not change are still there.
They changed
Dr. Tim Ball
Professor of Climatology
University of Winnipeg
to
Dr. Tim Ball
Retired Professor of Geography (1971 -1996)
University of Winnipeg
in one copy of the letter (NH Insider), in essence admitting that at least this part of my April, 06, letter to the Calgary Herald was correct. He still has the dates wrong, implying that he was a Professor of Geography when he obtained his BA in 1971, but he might mean that he was "at" the University of Winnipeg then, and perhaps working as an assistant teaching labs or marking.

The original that we saw in October ended with
"Sincerely,
Dr. Tim Ball
Professor of Climatology
University of Winnipeg
Dr. William Gray
Director, Tropical Meteorology Project
Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Science
Colorado State University "
and others (slightly different order from the others; Ball was moved to first place)
It was changed on the NH Insider website some time in early 2007, and now ends with
"Sincerely,
Dr. Tim Ball
Retired Professor of Geography (1971 -1996)
University of Winnipeg
Dr. William Gray
Director, Tropical Meteorology Project
Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Science
Colorado State University "
and others (slightly different order from the others; Ball was moved to first place)
But I was thinking that I maybe could count my four years of TA experience as "early professor work."
