“Absolutely not. Hansen isn’t a scientist. He’s a political activist masquerading as a scientist.”
I wonder if someone has come up with the term “armchair scientist”. Because whether or not someone else has, I’d say it right now, given the way I have seen Hansen shout from his cozy spaces right now. I would say to a climate scientist, come give me a gadget to melt some ice, and end my holiday holdup in the Phoenix, Arizona airport for crying out loud. Anyway, that’s my rant.

That is one good term, but the AGW cabal has at least three
branches, or groups.
1. Thieves that are in it for the money and fame.
Albert Goreon is the prime example of this group.
2. Control freaks. This includes the neo-Marxist, Democrats,
and any other group that wants control of people’s lives.
This includes the “nanny state” types.
3. The self important types and pseudo scientist.
Sadly, even FR has some of these.
I well remember one, I will not mention his FR name,
but he was constantly posting pages of graphs and data
to support AGW.
The general public around the world is certainly devided
and range from doom and gloomers, to those that see it as a scam.
Whenever I encounter one of the doom and gloomers, I always start by asking them to explain the MWP, followed by the little ice age.
Most have no clue as to what I am asking about.
Sadly, the real climate or weather will not likely dissuade
the first two groups, as they have too much invested in
continuing the scam.
