And also the things they KNOW to be false but on which they have bet their reputations, ego and livelihood.
With latest outburst of threats and ad hominem attacks, not reasoned arguments, coming from the high priests of AWG, I have a feeling that they see their house of cards collapsing soon.
Funny, I ran into a real [non climate] scientist this morning and asked him if he’d watched Live Earth! He apologized for missing it. He chuckled about Global Warming and I mentioned a former colleague of ours remarks about the ozone hole. I knew a lot of people in the early 1990’s who were experts on the ionosphere. They were shaking their heads about the ozone hole scare, it was just so completely goofy.
Anyway, one guy, an ionospheric scientist, figured that a lot of ionospheric scientists needed to find a new gig with the cold war drying up. Most ionospheric studies were funded by the Air Force and they figured they needed a new sponsor. I guess global warming fit the bill.
