Dozens More Arrested in Tar Sands Pipeline Protests: Gulf Coast Residents Speak Out | ThinkProgress

Bill Watson, a professor at University of Southern Mississippi, was relatively pleased with the media coverage. With a number of German media outlets present, he remarked that “we’ve done pretty well in European media. Certainly we’re all over the web; Huff-Po is on this, New York Times editorials are speaking to this. I think we’re getting about as much as we can hope, and it has only just started. I think that the media attention will improve as becomes clear that these crazy folks are here every day.”

Donner’s main problem is to fail to acknowledge the complexity behind “belief” or “denial” in man-made global warming.

When a citizen is asked if he “believes” in AGW, it’s safer to say no, since it’s not clear what the question means, and since he won’t be certain the person who’s asking him isn’t using the question as an excuse to latch onto his wallet.

The orthodoxy has compounded its mistakes by pressuring science journals, and climate scientists, not to publish research which could be seen as contradicting the orthodox carbon hysteric point of view. Eventually, the facts behind the unsavoury and unscientific behind-the-scenes maneuvers of powerful insiders such as Phil Jones, Michael Mann, Kevin Trenberth, etc., will come to light -- despite the large scale politically correct attempts to cover up.

In the mean time, we can only hope that genuine scientific work will continue, against the groupthink currents of political groups such as the IPCC etc.
