E-mails from National Academy of Sciences plot attacks on AGW skeptics
Hot Air ^ | 3/5/10 | by Ed Morrissey

Posted on 03/05/2010 7:53:01 PM PST by Track9

Earlier this week, I criticized the American media for ignoring the rapidly-increasing number of scandals surrounding the IPCC, the University of East Anglia CRU, and the anthropogenic global-warming movement in general. Today, an American newspaper breaks news of yet another scandal involving AGW scientists and e-mail — but this time here in the US. The Washington Times obtained e-mails sent through the National Academy of Sciences that show AGW scientists conspiring to attack critics:

Undaunted by a rash of scandals over the science underpinning climate change, top climate researchers are plotting to respond with what one scientist involved said needs to be “an outlandishly aggressively partisan approach” to gut the credibility of skeptics.

In private e-mails obtained by The Washington Times, climate scientists at the National Academy of Sciences say they are tired of “being treated like political pawns” and need to fight back in kind. Their strategy includes forming a nonprofit group to organize researchers and use their donations to challenge critics by running a back-page ad in the New York Times.

“Most of our colleagues don’t seem to grasp that we’re not in a gentlepersons’ debate, we’re in a street fight against well-funded, merciless enemies who play by entirely different rules,” Paul R. Ehrlich, a Stanford University researcher, said in one of the e-mails.

Looks like were going to be playing another round of “Where in the world is Algee hiding”!

Guess he’s embarrassed to show his face in public.

More from the article.

"Ehrlich wrote The Population Bomb, which also included this interesting advice for governments of the future: that they should put “temporary sterilants” in the water supply and then closely regulate the antidote in order to choose who could reproduce and when. If he’s the leading light of AGW theory, that explains (a) why it’s not science-based at all but rather a screen for statist control, and (b) why it’s collapsing as a science."

Yes, it’s important to gut the credibility of skeptics as opposed to producing good data and good science to do that.

I can’t wait to hear about the 50,000 dollar back page add they’re planning to run in the NY Slimes. Further evidence the Gray Lady is more green (as in rotting) then gray.

At least these charlatans are smart enough to wait until the snow melts first.

Oh, they're so tired of being treated like "political pawns" but they have no compunction about recommending onerous, oppressive taxes and austerity policies on the American public and the rest of the world.

The real irony is how they’ve been pawns all along and kept that way with generous grant payoffs. Truly unstable people.

I think the FBI needs to get busy investigating the piggies at the Nat’l Academy of “Sciences”. I understand them wanting to save their scam to keep the grants rolling in but this fiasco is over. It’s time for these so-called “scientists” to move on and maybe look for a real job.

“Oh, they’re so tired...”

Tired my @$$, let’s take ‘em all to the Antarctic, strip their ‘edgakated’ @$$’s naked, and make ‘em run around ‘til their ball$ freeze off...and make ‘em sing ‘Yankee Doodle’ over and over while they are enjoying GWC.

” challenge critics by running a back-page ad in the New York Times.”

How trendy and useful. Maybe the bozos can tack up pro-abortion posters at planned parenthood, too.

“an outlandishly aggressively partisan approach”

The emails and cooked up IPCC report show this has always been an outlandishly aggressive partisan approach
