Fuller: "I would much rather see Gleick, Lewandowsky, Mann and others of their kidney retire and take up knitting"

So while I still feel that actors on the climate stage are exhibiting infantile or criminal behavior, this issue stays alive for me. And to connect it to recent events, I would much rather see Gleick, Lewandowsky, Mann and others of their kidney retire and take up knitting, I am sorry to see James Hansen retire from NASA. He is foregoing a role that gave him a bully pulpit in favor of a more personally satisfying, but far less effective role as an activist.

Any fool can get arrested. It takes a career to get to a position where you can influence public policy. Adopting the first at the expense of the latter is a sad turn of events for both science and politics.

he probably meant to say "their kind retire" not "their kidney retire"
