Climate expert’s pants on fire -- Lorrie Goldstein
Question: If a world-famous climate scientist lied to obtain documents fraudulently, would he lie about other things? Like his research?
It’s a reasonable question to ask in light of the ongoing controversy over the recent public confession of prominent U.S. climate scientist and water expert Peter Gleick.
The Reference Frame: Selling your soul for a narrative: understanding the Gleick fraud
Clearly the answer involves Gleick’s own consuming belief in the righteousness of his cause. But particularly revealing is what aspect of his opponents’ case he sought to undermine. If he were convinced the issue of primary importance were the battle over scientific proof of the coming catastrophe, he would not waste his fraud on what would then appear to be a minor tactical skirmish. But he just might risk it all to take down Heartland if what he saw as primarily important were constructing a moral narrative about his enemies’ motivation and financial backing.
