Die Klimazwiebel: Interview with Hans von Storch by Daniel Lingenhöhl

The credibility of the societal institution "science" has been damaged: Society organizes, and funds, research as a kind of service and it expects in return that it gets good information und understanding from us about complex phenomena such as swine flu or climate - and not political decisions.

The persons involved should thus restore the required transparency. If moreover the impression has been created that certain scientists have corrupted the peer review process - whether that be so or not - then these scientists should for the time being no longer participate in it or in the IPPC reporting. In politics this would be called 'taking responsibility'. And that is also required here: the researchers concerned should retreat from the committees and no longer review other peoples' work.

William M. Briggs, Statistician & Consultant » Protesters gather in Copenhagen. Why?

What other evidence for disastrous warming is there? Certainly not in the predictions of AGW models: they have all said we could grow warmer, yet the planet has cooled over the last decade.

Krugman: Badly Misinformed About Climate « Talking About The Weather

Mr. Krugman’s easy dismissal of Climategate is a serious moral blind spot on his part. If oil-company e-mails among industry climate scientists (not that such people actually exist) suggested deleting e-mails that were part of a Freedom of Information Act process, do you think that Mr. Krugman would dismiss their significance? If an oil-industry scientist had written an e-mail to his peers saying that he had found a good “trick” to “hide” the increase in temperature, would Mr. Krugman similarly tell his readers that this was no big deal? If oil-industry scientists described ways to control the peer-review process and freeze out scientists warning of global warning, Mr. Krugman would be fine with that, right?
