The recent scandals surrounding the climate change debate and the science behind climate change have prompted politicians and law makers across the country to order climate scientists to hand over the data that represents their findings. In some cases, climate scientists have even been threatened with criminal charges if it is found that data was intentionally altered for the purposes of furthering a pro-climate change agenda.
255 members of the National Academy of Sciences have responded to these charges in an open letter entitled Climate Change and The Integrity of Science. The letter denounces the charges made against them by climate change "deniers," and likens the threats of criminal prosectuion to McCarthyism:
We are deeply disturbed by the recent escalation of political assaults on scientists in general and on climate scientists in particular. All citizens should understand some basic scientific facts. There is always some uncertainty associated with scientific conclusions; science never absolutely proves anything. When someone says that society should wait until scientists are absolutely certain before taking any action, it is the same as saying society should never take action. For a problem as potentially catastrophic as climate change, taking no action poses a dangerous risk for our planet.

Pot, meet kettle.

Yeah, go figure.
Do you now or have you ever promoted Global Warming Climate Fraud?
Have you ever altered, hidden, erased or shredded data?
Have you ever threatened, mocked, ridiculed, or tried to get someone fired who didn’t go along with your fraud? Have you ever threatened publications who didn’t go along with your fraudulent scheme?
Do you understand the meaning of the term “criminal conspiracy”?
I propose all scientists are dangerous, (atomic weapons creators) they should be rounded up and put in jail. Sure, my evidence for this assertion is lacking, but considering how serious nuclear weaponry can be, the risk of doing nothing is too great.
>>The letter denounces the charges made against them by climate change “deniers,”<<
Sounds like a McCarthyist attack to me.
Of course, McCarthy was proved right in the end, wasn’t he?
What is a “McCarthy-like threat”??
Someone going to expose their lies and links to the bad guys?
Good!
McCarthy was right about the communists.
His tactics may have been in question, however.
WE are deeply concerned by the political assaults on SCIENCE in general and on climate SCIENCE in particular.
The scientific method has been completely abandoned in favor of political correctness.
Shut up babies! It’s called politics, something so called “climate scientists” got into when they abandoned real science to promote the political/social goals resulting from the anthropogenic warming scam. I suggest that “climate scientists” who don’t like the rough ballgame of politics should get out of the warming game, and get back to the business of real science.
Yes, but it’s a bad thing when people try to expose the left. It’s only OK to expose the right.
Shove it, Stalinists!
Ya...when all else fails...and your arguments have all fallen apart...demonize your opponent. That’s how you KNOW these guys are liberals!!
Isn’t that one of Alinsky’s 11 rules for radicals?
