Climate science disinformer Richard Lindzen accuses colleagues of “overt cheating” « Climate Progress
Other lowlights of Lindzen’s testimony:

– Argues that the deceased Steven Schneider, one of the most influential climate researchers up to the time of his death this year, was not an “active contributor” to climate science

– Calls the global surface temperature anomaly an “obscure statistical quantity.”

– Claims “so-called climate science” is actually “science in the service of politics.”

– Says climate science “has become a quasi-religious issue.”

– Says “climategate” is one of several “instances of overt cheating.”

– “I am quite willing to state that unprecedented climate catastrophes are not on the horizon.”
Lom-Gore-borg: Paint it white
So Lomborg apparently wants us to spend trillions of dollars continually whitewashing the world while “we” figure out how to address those “root causes of man-made climate change.” Of course, Lomborg has already decided what needs to be done
Richard Littlemore | ICSC Climate Scientists' Register: Usual suspects; usual tactics
The tired, old climate-change deniers who keep trying to get themselves taken seriously have launched another petition claiming that "having assessed the relevant scientific evidence, (they) do not find convincing support for the hypothesis that human emissions of carbon dioxide are causing, or will in the foreseeable future cause, dangerous global warming."
...
The unfortunate thing is that, like the famous and famously plumped up Oregon Petition, this new edition could well be taken seriously by some unsuspecting reporter (and his or her badly served readers) who simply doesn't understand that science is not conducted on the weight of popular opinion - especially when, in the case of people like Michaels, Singer, Harris, Ball and Green, those opinions are so clearly for sale.
