Quote for the day...

...Scientific authoritarianism, weak or strong, has no role in climate politics.

Roger Pielke Jnr, (Prometheus) criticising megalomaniac doomster James Hansen, more here...

...Pielke Jnr and Senior have differing views on AGW, although both condemn the bastardisation of science for political ends. Hence the quote above, and the comment...
...Climate politics is collapsing because of political realities, and not real or perceived changes in how people see the science. As I have often argued, in the ongoing battle between climate scientists and skeptics there will be disproportionate carnage, because the climate scientists have so much more to lose, and not just as individuals, but also for the broader field, which includes many people simply on the sidelines....More from Prometheus here...
