Why climate science isn't science, Part Whatever | NJ.com

The climate-change establishment has tried to eliminate any who dare question the science. This was made very clear in the Climategate Letters, which reveal the blacklisting of research that strays from the party line with the aid of hostile peer reviewers and helpful editors, and threats to any journal that did not cooperate – in some cases leading to the removal of editors.

Climate change science needs a "team B." This happens in many other areas, for example, weapons systems for DoD, or intelligence assessments at CIA. Both of these organizations, and many others, routinely establish robust team B's, that is, groups of experts who work full time, sometimes for several years, to challenge the establishment position.

This has given us much better weapons systems and intelligence. The team-B concept has not been embraced by the climate change establishment. Indeed, we read testimony by Dr. James Hanson in the Congressional Record, that climate skeptics are guilty of "high crimes against humanity and nature." There are many similarly intimidating statements made by establishment climate scientists and by like-thinking policy-makers – you are either with us or you are a traitor.

Buh-Bye: Outgoing Rep. Inglis Blasts GOP Skepticism on Global Warming - NYTimes.com

Outgoing Republican Rep. Bob Inglis (S.C.) broke with his party today and publicly vented his frustration about the apparent turn toward climate skepticism in the next Congress, when Republicans will take control of the House.

Inglis, who has served six terms in the House, was soundly defeated by a more conservative opponent in a Republican primary this year and has blamed the loss in part on his belief in climate science, which hurt him with voters. Inglis made his frustration clear this morning at a House Science subcommittee hearing on the science of climate change.
...
Inglis, ranking member of the House Energy and Environment Subcommittee, also took aim at "people who make a lot of money on talk radio and talk TV saying a lot of things. They slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night, and they're experts on climate change. They substitute their judgment for people who have Ph.D.s and work tirelessly" on climate change.
