This MIT guy is a world renowned scientist.

The University of California teaches classes on Global Warming and no doubt it is encouraged and subsidized by the Fed. Gee, a world renowned university that pushes government propaganda, imagine that.

Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged predicted *exactly* this. Literally political science.

Amazingly prescient.

“Both Curry and Pielke have been targeted by Grijalva “

Grijalva is a communist, and “reconquista” advocate whose district is 88% hispanic, half of whom are likely illegal immigrants.

Of course, that’s the only way to get a piece of the pie.

It’s interesting to note that those “threats” are coming from congress critters who can barely spell “science” and would fail even the most elementary calculus or physics class.

Hmmmm, come to think of it, this perhaps applies to the vast majority of the “climate researchers” since we have ample examples of their 1) cheating on data, 2) inability to correctly analyze data and data triends, 3) inability to correctly assemble a model that actually has any chance of forecasting future climate/temperature, etc, and 4) inability to do anything with their research save bend over and play “mama” to Dorkbama’s gubmit grants. Really, what else could these clowns do?

Oh, forgot, there’s always the last chance employment bureau...otherwise known as “congress”.

The science is settled, remember. I am so glad to see a little rumbling in this area - a little push back, a little finger in the eyeball of our fearful leader who thinks he’s above reproach. Would that D.C. gets cover with snow up to the top of the Washington monument - sometime in May would be nice.

And the gov. scientists are a bunch of lying, liberal greenies. They most likely get their paychecks from George Soros, the scourge of everything.

I would come close to betting my life that Soros is financing a big part of this.

since there is no clear idea of what constitutes a conflict of interest in climate science — a field where almost all the data is publicly available

Exactly - science stands or falls on published facts and analysis, so "conflict of interest" is an irrelevant concept dragged in by the scientifically illiterate.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

“At least Mr. Grijalva’s letters should help clarify for many the essentially political nature of the alarms over the climate, and the damage it is doing to science, the environment and the well-being of the world’s poorest.”

It isn't just the image of climate science being tarnished by "global warming" alarmism. Other fields of science are being damaged, as well.

I have attended sessions at American Society of Microbiology conferences, and seen speaker after speaker talk about a real problem (for instance, food poisoning), and finish the talk by opining that the problem exists "because of global warming." No, it doesn't. But by being able to blame everything on global warming, they don't have to try to determine what is causing the problem. Every time a paper is published that contains the phrase, "because of global warming", it weakens science. Such papers might contain actual hypotheses but throw that phrase in because of a belief that including it might increase the chance to get grant moneys. Unfortunately, many global warming alarmists love to point at a large volume of papers about "global warming" and say that thousands of papers prove that it is real. However, no number of papers blaming whatever observation they describe on "global warming" actually establishes anything about global climate.

I’m coming close to betting my life he is at the core of most of the socialist/communist government decisions going on with the dems. I think obama’s head would have blown up if he had to run all this anti American stuff by himself. He’s a good marxist but not that good.

A strongly worded letter followed by a non-binding resolution.

Probably not anymore. Now he is a climate blasphemer.

I believe Obama is under the Soros thumb. I also believe that Soros will make Obama a very rich man, soon after he leaves office.

If it weren’t for the MSM, this global scam would have died out years ago.
