Paul Ehrlich: “Everyone is scared shitless, but they don't know what to do”

[refermech]

Produce the data idiot!! Prove your stupid theory or go home!!

[Brett66]

Civility, honesty, fact and perspective are irrelevant

Yep, the AGW proponents certainly taught us that. Nature is citing Paul Erlich? How apppropriate......

[TChris]

Poor Erlich.

It must suck to be so monumentally, completely wrong.

Not too surprising he's hitched his wagon to another monumentally wrong cause.

[ETL]

AL BORE PLAYED ON OUR FEARS!!

[InterceptPoint]

Every single sentence in the first paragraph is, at the minimum, incorrect. More likely each of these sentences is an intentional lie. That’s as far as I got.

Just posted this which refers to this article....FR Thread:

Big G panics--The higher-ups of the AGW movement, aka Goliath, sense that something is amiss.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Yes, scientists' reputations have taken a hit thanks to headlines about the leaked climate e-mails at the University of East Anglia (UEA), UK, and an acknowledged mistake about the retreat of Himalayan glaciers in a recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But these wounds are not necessarily fatal.

Said Vince Foster.

Produce the data idiot!! Prove your stupid theory or go home!!

They can't. They destroyed all the original data and only kept tainted stuff that they manipulated.

This ridiculous article states the argument against AGW is "superficially about the science." What hubris! They have no REAL scientific and verifiable facts and figures to back up AGW so they just attack using words without facts to back them up.

Boy, that is real scientific, Nature.com.

some polls in the United States and abroad suggest that it is eroding public confidence in climate science

You bet....FR Thread:

Americans' Global Warming Concerns Continue to Drop ( global warming is exaggerated )

Gallup says....

[LiteKeeper]

Try admitting the truth, instead of trying to defraud us for grant money!

Paul Ehrlich: “Everyone is scared shitless, but they don't know what to do”

Dear Paul:

1. Take a deep relaxing breath.

2. Repeat slowly:

"Nothing more tragic than the slaying of a beautiful theory by an ugly fact."

The Data is another big story....see links 27 and 28 posted by Dr. Bogus Pachysandra on the thread linked at post #10 on this thread.

[Spok]

“deniers who, by dominating the media agenda,”

Dominating what media?

[refermech]

Absolutely correct. A politically driven theory. No science at all!!

[EyeGuy]

I was actually considering re-subscribing to NATURE, but the first sentence of pure, arrogant, name-calling propaganda put to rest those thoughts.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Thanks! I just finally finished ready all the comments at the “Data” link. A lot of very informed people comment there.

[Interesting Times]

Ecologist Paul Ehrlich at Stanford University in California says that his climate colleagues are at a loss about how to counter the attacks. “Everyone is scared shitless, but they don't know what to do,” he says.

Note to media warmists: when the first guy you quote in your AGW defense is a complete joke with a 30-year record of predicting nonexistent disasters, it doesn't do much for your "defending science" pose.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Did you see any detail about some possible issues with ice core analysis or the ice core...whatever?
