To appreciate the psychology of the global-warming cult, one must understand a few contextual details. Most importantly, these are times of panic for the Church of Global Warming. Science has failed them. The global warming they predicted is going into its third decade of not happening. Polar ice and sea levels aren’t doing what they predicted. Much of their seminal research has been exposed as academic fraud, based on cute little games like ignoring large periods of history that don’t conform to their man-made climate change models, fudging temperature measurements, and changing the methodology for recording and estimating global temperatures at during different historical periods. Their recent attempts to scare up a few headlines favorable to the movement, such as the big media fuss about 2014 being the “hottest year in history,” have collapsed under scrutiny as exaggerations or outright falsifications.

They did succeed in downloading huge grants of taxpayer money to support their faulty science and easy going life styles. Tell me again, who are the fools here?
Of course, this obsession with credentials evaporates when it comes to global-warming believers. From the Daily Beast:
"Willie Soon, for example, should never have been given much credence in the first place. Like nearly all of the Climate Truthers’ scientists, he is not a climate expert. He’s not even an astrophysicist, as he is often presented. As The New York Times revealed, 'He is a part-time employee of the Smithsonian Institution with a doctoral degree in aerospace engineering.'"
Oh my, I guess the Daily Beast author has never heard of the several blogs frequently quoted here where physicists, climatologists, earth scientists, meteorologists and other learned scientists are featured and debate climate topic too complex for hit-piece journalists to understand. Two of those sites are Watts up with that? and Icecap.us
If only they could get a match to strike in this damned cold!
The Warmist cult is so over.
“Science has failed them.”
It hardly matters as long as those fat government study grants keep rolliong in.
Mickey Mouse science not only pays, it pays well.
No, science has failed them. It is reality that bites.
