What is truly disturbing is how many people are mislead by government subsidized propaganda. They label every con man they agree with a "scientist" and everyone they disagree with as a "denialist." They even go as far as trying to shut down skeptical sources of information. That isn't science. That's a cult.
What truly is disturbing is that you dismiss academic qualifications as a concept. You dismiss all and any research as 'propaganda' while happy quoting blogs run by retired plumbers.
You label anyone who does not agree with you a "true believer", and refuse to acknowledge the value of real scientific research and study.
That isn't science, it's a cult.
That's complete and UTTER bullshit.. I'll accept most anything that comes from an objective source.. You've been shown the THREATS from the warmers, You've been shown their emails CONFIRMING data fraud. You've been shown the molested data.
It's NOT up to policy orgs to judge the fight.
THere are plenty of "dissenters" doing GREAT work. Their credentials are plenty good for me. Even IF you can get a Nobel Prize these days for shoddy work and bad documentaries filled with errors and hysteria...
Either debate the science or STFU
Really? The scientists that are doing the research are the bullies? That is why they are facing constant nuiscance lawsuites from the right wingers, and having the lives of their children threatoned by the same people?
The Battle Over Climate Science | Popular Science
For the many scientists who consider themselves both political conservatives and supporters of the consensus position on anthropogenic climate change, ideology and party affiliation provide little shelter from attacks and harassment. Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist at Texas Tech University, a political conservative and an evangelical Christian. In 2007, Terry Maple, the co-author of Newt Gingrichs forthcoming book on environmental entrepreneurship, asked her to write a chapter reviewing the scientific facts surrounding climate change. For most of his political career, Gingrich championed the virtues of science, but last year, while campaigning in the Republican presidential primaries, he dropped Hayhoes chapter after Rush Limbaugh discovered her contribution and ridiculed her as a climate babe.
Nice to hear that Gingrich is tossing my climate chapter in the trash, Hayhoe tweeted on hearing the news. 100+ unpaid hours I couldve spent playing w[ith] my baby . . . The day after Hayhoes tweet, the American Tradition Institute (ATI), a conservative think tank, announced that it had filed a FOIA request with Texas Tech University relating to collaboration on a book, using public time and resources. The ATIs paperwork referred to Hayhoe as a climate activist.
I can delete the hate mail I got calling me a Nazi bitch whore climatebecile, Hayhoe says, but responding to nuisance lawsuits and investigations takes up enormous amounts of time that could be better spent teaching, mentoring, researching, doing my job.

When I get an e-mail that mentions my child and a guillotine, Hayhoe says, I sometimes want to pull a blanket over my head. The intent of all this is to discourage scientists. As a woman and a mother, I have to say that sometimes it does achieve its goal. There are many times when I wonder if its worth it.
