Climate hoax promoter Gavin Schmidt: "Climate scientists are more than willing, at any time, any place, to explain their science and show their results to anybody that asks"

Will the New Congress Subpoena Climate Scientists? | The Intersection | Discover Magazine
Recently I got the chance to speak with Michael Mann—by far the most attacked climate researcher on the planet—and to ask what he was expecting from the next Congress, and how he might respond. Mann pulled no punches. “I think I speak for the entire scientific community,” he answered, “in saying that if scientists are subject to the sorts of McCarthyite witch hunts that took place during the 1950s, there will I suspect be a very fierce pushback by the scientific community, and by public interest groups that support science.”

One type of hearing would be open minded and informational, calling upon scientists to testify about their federally funded research and its implications. That’s what Congress ought to be doing, and scientists will participate eagerly. “Climate scientists are more than willing, at any time, any place, to explain their science and show their results to anybody that asks,” observes climate modeler Gavin Schmidt of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who along with Mann created the leading climate science website “Real Climate.”

Climate scientists are capable of great solidarity—if needed.

Well, I guess that because the rational people have already noticed that those "climate scientists" who are similar to Gavin Schmidt are just producing propositions to support their agenda - regardless of their validity - no one is interested in what they have to offer anymore.

It's so nice that they want to speak but many of them should keep those stories for their equally oriented mates in the prison.
