The Volokh Conspiracy » Blog Archive » My Side Versus the Other Side

Why is the other side of the debates I’m on always so hypocritical? They always jump on what my side says, and yet they willfully ignore all the faults on their own side.

Well done, Dan.

Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog: Pachauri's Conflicts of Interest

When causes are popular it can be uncomfortable and inconvenient to realize that experts who render politically desired advice have potential conflicts of interest. Perhaps this helps to explain why investigative journalists (with only several exceptions), especially those who cover science [that means you, Andrew Revkin], have turned a blind eye to the obvious and egregious conflicts of interest present in the case of Rajendra Pachauri, head of the IPCC. The longer this issue is allowed to percolate in plain view, the worse the outcome will be for the scientific community and perhaps also those whose job it is to hold experts accountable to basic standards of conduct.

Denial of FOIA request caused tipping point at UEA? at Heliogenic Climate Change

Met Office staffer still says this will be “warmest winter in living memory” | CLIMATEGATE

The global warmists are propagandists with an unalterable conclusion in search (and the manipulation) of data to support it. We hope they keep on talking, it only serves to make them look more like the fraudsters they are.
