Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed (Hardcover)

Planet Gore on National Review Online

I note in Red Hot Lies how APS is little different than the AMS and other membership organizations placing high-stakes bets with the global-warming industry and, as part of that, a partisan crowd. They diminish their internal credibility with complaints such as that described above, and other stunts — like issuing statements that the membership never voted on, though clearly purporting to represent the membership's position. These and other practices slowly erodes the seriousness with which the public views them but, more importantly, also how the public start to distrust and then tune out "science" as just another interest group siphoning taxpayer money.

The Left may own the partisan shrieking about how they are the enlightened ones while others hate knowledge, but I make a pretty persuasive case in RHL how the institutions of science run a great risk of killing science.
