It’s not like this is a new phenomenon, this trait was noted a long time ago, Proverbs 15:12 tells us "A mocker resents correction; he will not consult the wise."
Note that any responses to earlier blog entries (see FB) do not address the obvious collusion, cover-up, manipulation of data, and suppression of fellow scientists that Climategate has exposed. They say look here’s evidence the earth is warming, etc. but do not address the problems of Climategate, and insist that the science clearly proves AGW.
Since victory in the cold war which resulted in the dissolution of the USSR, where socialism was soundly defeated by capitalism, it has been noted in many places that the socialists looking for a place where they could advance their failed ideology took up residence in the environmental movement(LINK . Consider GreenPeace Founder Patrick Moore, why he left GreenPeace, and his views on Global Warming and Science. He said “By the mid-1980s, the environmental movement had abandoned science and logic in favor of emotion and sensationalism.” He also notes that the environmental movement is trying to work by consensus not scientific evidence. Scientific consensus and scientific evidence are not the same. It was a scientific consensus that the sun revolved around the earth, evidence proved the scientific consensus wrong; just as evidence is proving the AGW theory is dubious at best, in spite of the perceived consensus.
Senior research fellow at the National Institute of Aerospace Dr. Weinstein is a former senior research scientist who worked more than 30 years at the NASA Langley Research Center. Last April, he wrote an essay "Disproving the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) Problem" which is highly critical of AGW theory. Even if you don’t agree with him his credentials and the essay minimally demonstrate that there is no consensus in the scientific community; Dr. Weinstein concludes that “Any reasonable scientific analysis must conclude the basic theory wrong!!".
In my previous blog entry Consensus and Consequences, there are nearly 100 links to scientists’ papers and opinions which also clearly demonstrate that the scientific community is not in consensus concerning AGW. Replies to this blog entry on FB brought up articles where scientists believe in global warming, rather than deal with the fact that there is no consensus in the scientific community concerning the theory of AGW, much less dealing with the evidence of malfeasance in the AGW community against any scientist who doesn’t support AGW.
Former US Vice President Al Gore, whose formal scientific training include two undergraduate courses of which his highest grade was a C, compared people like Dr. Weinstein to people who 'believe the moon landing was actually staged in a movie lot in Arizona' (June 20, 2006). When people resort to name-calling it is a sign they have lost an argument.
Since the name calling hasn’t worked to silence scientists who won’t follow the AGW line. Socialists posing as environmentalists have taken to threats. This was know but ignored even before Climategate. Michael T. Eckhart, president of the environmental group the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), wrote in an email on July 13, 2007 to Marlo Lewis, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI):
“It is my intention to destroy your career as a liar. If you produce one more editorial against climate change, I will launch a campaign against your professional integrity. I will call you a liar and charlatan to the Harvard community of which you and I are members. I will call you out as a man who has been bought by Corporate America. Go ahead, guy. Take me on."
The whole AGW crowd doesn’t really care about science; they want to control how people live. They believe that some intellectual elites should determine how people should live, and are looking for a means to force people to live the way they think is best, regardless of how those individuals want to live. They are smart enough to recognize that energy use and wealth are directly related. So they seek to redistribute the wealth through energy policy, by controlling environmental regulation. Their goal is power, control, and wealth redistribution not using science to make sound societal decisions. Socialists in the USA hate the freedom and liberty the US constitution has afforded its citizens, because it limits their ability to dictate how people should live. So they are right now trying to work around the constitution through international treaties. It is easy to get most of the rest of the world to sign on to the treaty because it effectively redistributes the wealth of the US to other countries in the name of “environmental justice.”
I really don’t understand people who don’t believe that AGW is about power not science, even when that’s exactly what the proponents of AGW tell us. In 1998 former Canadian minister of the environment, Christine Stewart, told us that "No matter if the science of global warming is all phony … climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world" (Calgary Herald, Dec. 14, 1998).
In light of Climategate, and the preponderance of valid scientific research and data that disputes AGW theory, (regardless of what pro-AGW press would have us believe) it can only be concluded that when anybody says that the science is settled, and that AGW theory is the accepted best theory, they are either ignorant or a liar. When anybody says global warming if not stopped is going to be catastrophic, they are either ignorant or a liar. When anybody says there no credible scientists denying AGW, they are either ignorant or a liar. When anybody says that emails exposed by Climategate, are meaningless, then they are either ignorant or a liar.
