Garth Partridge on the inside of the climate caper at Catallaxy Files

[comment]  As an insider I’ve seen a lot of the attitude of “shut up and don’t derail the gravy train” amongst the scientists used to prepare models and reports.

But there are also a small minority who, along with their bureaucrat brethren and sistren, truly are glaze-eyed believers. It is the perfect secular religion for them- denigrating white culture, western civilisation and the “mouth breathers” who don’t share their view of the science.

Except it isn’t science, it’s usually statistics based on plucked numbers, surrounded with a miasma of assumptions based on… well, nothing, usually.
