Scientists try political purges
https://amgreatness.com/2018/02/09/clima...s-deniers/

Hard to believe they are serious about science when they shun.

"...So, as the climate cabal feels their grip on federal policy and public opinion weaken, its zealots are becoming more desperate. Michael Mann, a Penn State University climatologist and the media’s go-to-guy for any apocalyptic quote about how anthropogenic global warming will kill us all, seems more unbalanced than usual. As the “Citizen Secretary of Science and Environment” in Donald Trump’s so-called “Shadow Cabinet”—which also includes Laurence Tribe and Robert Reich—Mann appears to be taking his pretend post a bit too seriously. Mann recently called White House advisor Kellyanne Conway “evil incarnate,” said Trump is a “moron” and a “threat to the planet,” and denounced Devin Nunes as “a traitor to this country” and demanded he “be subject to appropriate sanctions.” He’s mocked the president’s son and tweeted at the First Lady. (Pretty ironic coming from a guy who filed a lawsuit because someone called him a mean name)...."

"They are even starting to turn on their own. Scientists recently blasted Mann’s pal, Bill Nye the Science Guy, for attending the State of the Union address with Jim Bridenstine, Trump’s pick for NASA administrator. More than 500 women scientists accused Nye of placing his “personal brand over the interests of the scientific community at large” and blamed him for using his “public persona as a science entertainer to support an administration that is expressly xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, racist, ableist, and anti-science.” They claimed, “it is impossible to separate science at major agencies like NASA from other pressing issues like racism, bigotry, and misogyny.”
So Bill Nye—a man on record saying he wants “climate deniers” to die off and who is a shameless promoter of identity politics—is now some kind of Trump stooge because he dared to sit with someone who holds a different opinion from his friends. Not only is he banished from the scientific establishment for his dirty deed, he is now branded racist, homophobic, and misogynistic.
This is a scary trajectory for science, and it’s being led by pernicious bullies like Michael Mann. The good people in the field need to speak out or it’s only a matter of time before they, too, are targeted just like Mercer and Nye."

Don’t feed the trolls. They will get one to 4 posts and another thread will waste to the dust bin of history. They surely don’t post for discussion or credibility. My God look at the source he is using.

When the "98% of scientists agree" claim has been shown to be at worst a lie and at best a misrepresentation, then who looks foolish?

Climate alarmists have been beating the same drum for several decades -- different tune, mind you. Ice Age... Global Warming... Climate Change...

Maybe they'll eventually get a slogan that might work and hide their data manipulation tricks. At that time maybe more people will believe their "gloom-and-doom-government-must-have-more-control-over-people" mantra.

RE: Scientists try political purges
The philanthropist attacked by the scientist feels obliged to write an editorial to defend herself.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/forget-the-...mail_share

"Over the past 18 months, I have been the subject of intense speculation and public scrutiny, in large part because of the philanthropic investments of the Mercer Family Foundation and the political contributions made by my father and me. I don’t seek attention for myself and much prefer to keep a low profile. But my natural reluctance to speak with reporters has left me vulnerable to the media’s sensational fantasies.
Some have recklessly described me as supporting toxic ideologies such as racism and anti-Semitism. More recently I have been accused of being “anti-science.” These absurd smears have inspired a few gullible, but vicious, characters to make credible death threats against my family and me.
Last month a writer for the Financial Times suggested mysteriously that my “political goals are something she has never publicly defined.” In broad strokes this is what I believe:..."

Really..... Are you disputing any facts here or just attacking the people presenting them.

Was Bill Nye not attacked for attending the SOTU

If you don't like the facts or don't have a legitimate response, then you attack the source. Its a way to avoid discussion of uncomfortable facts.
