Science, politics collide over extreme weather, climate change - Oversight - GovExec.com

“It’s a treacherous issue,” said Kerry Emanuel, a climate-change scientist and an atmospheric science professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “When considering extreme weather and climate, you have to be mindful. It’s easy to step on a political or scientific mine and have it go off in your face.”

...Politicians, meanwhile, jump into the minefields of climate change and extreme weather. Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., who chaired the House Select Committee on Global Warming in the last Congress, blasted Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for his recent equivocation on climate-change science.

“Hundreds of millions of American citizens have been afflicted by extreme weather events in the last two years, from wildfires to heatwaves to floods,” Markey said in a statement on Monday. “Mitt Romney is attempting to become the president for all of America’s citizens, yet he has no interest in protecting them from these events that have been supercharged by climate change.”..."Climate change will affect human beings principally through its effect on weather extremes. We are more affected by increasing incidence of floods, droughts, and heatwaves than we are by small changes in the average temperature," Emanuel said. "It's an important topic, but you have to be very careful when looking for signatures of it."

Chris Mooney | New Study: Climate Deniers Are Emoting--Especially the Conspiracy Theorists

Several significant trends in Americans’ associations with “global warming” over time were identified. Perhaps most notable was the large increase in the proportion of naysayer images (e.g., “hoax”). The proportion of naysayer images rose from less than 10% in 2002 to over 20% of total responses in 2010.

...Nevertheless, this study reinforces something I’ve been arguing for a long time—trying to “debate” with a global warming denier today is really a fool’s errand. This issue is affecting people emotionally, on a gut level, and probably most of all for those who believe that “big government” and “global environmentalists” are pulling the wool over our eyes.

A boom in oil production has made a mockery of our predictions. Good news for capitalists – but a disaster for humanity

C3: Climate Scientists Ripping-Off The U.S. Taxpayer? Lonnie Thompson & Ellen Mosley-Thompson

Billions have been invested in climate science research by the American taxpayers with the expectations that climate scientists would produce results that would become part of the public record - but some scientists appear to be ethically-challenged
