This means that an enormous government body is being led by a woman whose links to activist organizations are beyond dispute. The EDF. The Pew Environment Group. The World Resources Institute. None of these are a secret. None are marginal, shoe-string operations.
Yet even when there are three good reasons to worry that an activist mindset may be clouding your judgment, people are still prepared to call you a top flight scientist.
This suggests that, at its very highest levels, the scientific establishment is now rife with activists. But these people are not the same thing as genuine, bona fide scientists. Not at all.
So long as the scientific community chooses to pretend otherwise it doesn't deserve the public's respect – or its trust.

Two alumni of the late '90s enviro-advocacy group Ozone Action still work at the Pew Environment Group, Brandon MacGillis and Kymberly Escobar. Go to this page http://www.pewtrusts.org/about_us_board_staff.aspx and click the link under "Pew Environment Group". I've termed Ozone Action the 'epicenter' of the '96-to-present smear of skeptic scientists, and guess what? The central character of the blog you have here, Jane Lubchenko, also had ties to Ozone Action, as I mentioned in my article here: "The Curious History of 'Global Climate Disruption' " http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/10/the_curious_history_of_global.html
