Behind the Controversy, an Effort to Rewrite Curriculum on Climate Change - NYTimes.com
Dr. Wojick confirmed via e-mail that he did make the proposals and explained his reasons. In doing his work for the Department of Energy, he said, he was exposed to lots of curriculums on the subject and found it all slanted toward the alarmist anthropogenic global warming view.
“My research field is the logic of complex issues and I have studied the climate debate for 20 years,” Dr. Wojick, who has a doctorate in the philosophy of science, wrote in the e-mail. “There are many elementary debates in the science that need to be understood. Of course if you do not believe this then we have nothing to discuss.”
Asked to specify what those points of debate are, Dr. Wojick wrote at length:
“Regarding the warming issue, it is scientifically fascinating. There are 5 different systems for estimating global temperatures, with a 6th in development. The problem is that these systems contradict one another. While all show some warming it occurs in different amounts and most importantly at very different times. Science needs something specific to explain but we just do not have that with warming. For example, HadCRU, UAH and RSS show no warming for the last 10-15 years, while GISS and BEST show steady warming,” he said, referring to the systems.
“So has it warmed or not, we do not know. It is a grand challenge. This is scientifically fascinating and should be taught,” he concluded.
But climate scientists who looked at Dr. Wojick’s evaluation of the data say that he is willfully misreading the findings. “You have to be specially trained to be so blind,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist with Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

Notice they avoid, like the plague, telling what the ACTUAL temps anomolies are, since the margin of error is multiples of the anomolies. .01 degree isn't going to scare anybody and hence they avoid all mentions of temps. They just stick with the "HOTTEST"...
I'm sure the people in Europe and Alaska couldn't care less what decade was the hottest. Imagine your entire career and being is completely dependent on keeping doom alive. They are acting like wolves cornered. More people believe in Bigfoot than AGW. It's sickening and the "projection" just keeps coming. It's such a pity they can't get people to understand how they are saving the world and they MUST NOT be questioned.
