Email 451, Jan. 2009, Stephen Schneider: "We are witnessing the "contrarian battle of the bulge" now, and expect that all weapons will be used"

Email 451

The end of the email Ben attached shows their intent--to discredit papers so they have no "evidentiary value in public policy"--what you resort to when you can't win the intellectual battle scientifically at IPCC or NAS.
Good luck with this, and expect more of it as we get closer to international climate policy actions, We are witnessing the "contrarian battle of the bulge" now, and expect that all weapons will be used.
