A few months ago a good friend sent me a link to an op-ed in the Times by Naomi Oreskes and Jonathan Renouf. Having studied the development of climate science for my doctoral dissertation in the early 1990s, I read the op-ed with initial interest, but quickly concluded that it was nonsense. I replied to my friend that is was silly conspiracy-theory stuff, and thought no more of it. It turns out that the Times op-ed, and the academic paper that it is based on, are full of misstatements and untruths. What is it about the climate change debate that causes previously excellent scholars to go absolutely insane and disregard all standards of research integrity?
