“James Hansen is a political activists”
I won’t deny it, but he is still considered a “distinguished scientist” as well, which is basically my point. The fact that scientists accept such men as him into their community, appoint them to lofty positions and laud them with accolades dilutes the reputation of all “distinguished scientists”.
“he is still considered a “distinguished scientist” as well, which is basically my point.”
He is only considered a distinguished scientist by the politicians and the media. His climate predictions have all been wrong. Embarrassingly wrong. He is not respected in his field. He is only supported by dishonest politicians and the dishonest media which portray him as important.
