Right, we know how they came to their conclusions. Now if Hansen had been as open in how he arrived at conclusions maybe more people would trust the ones presented.

Here, let me do that for you:

Global Warming/Climate Change is politicized science.

Much the same way EVERY government agency is operated under this administration.

I recall another government in the past that kept 'Political Officers' in every government office and in every military installation, including ships and submarines. I wonder if anyone else knows what type of government that was?

Are you under the impression that scientists in the US are the only ones doing climate science?...You can blame the fossil fuel companies and the gullible right wing nuts for the politicization of climate science in the US....

TV weather reporting using UN's post-normal science:
"Today's forecast calls for sunny skies and a slight westerly breeze - take shelter IMMEDIATELY!!!"

Right.

They get paid to do a real job and don't need to invent fairy tales to secure funding...very different from a climate scientist.

I have no reason to think they're inventing fairy tales because it doesn't bother me if their findings contradict garbage spewed by right-wing clowns.

As usual you have it completely backwards, it's the democrats and the left who are using "climate science" to push their political agendas, legislation, laws and regulations.

It's the democrats and the left who are using "climate science" to reward their political and corporate cronies with hundreds of billions in free taxpayer funded grants, loan guarantees and giveaways.

If the average person jumps on the "man-made global warming" bandwagon it's the politicians on the left who will give them free taxpayer money to buy solar panels, electric cars, CFLs, etc... If you are a corporate crony then you benefit by receiving billions of taxpayer dollars from "the politicization of climate science in the US."

All the free stuff, received at taxpayer expense, goes to people benefiting from "the politicization of climate science in the US."

Man made Climate change believers are no different than certain people in primitive times sacrificing select virgins to appease their God. They thought the could bring the rain, etc by sacricing a virgin. Today they think they can modifiy the climate by sacrificing your virgin. Metaphorically speaking. Not one bit of difference and they think they are so sophisticated.
