[...] As we have seen with the Bush Administration, politically motivated science put in service to a specific agenda is extraordinarily damaging. For the Bushies, who have no respect for science in my opinion and see it as a tool to be used to advance their political agenda, everything from the public health to climate change was affected by their cooking the books. But Brown and The Lancet went the Bush Administration one better; they put themselves and their scientific expertise at the disposal of the enemies of civilization. They allowed their animus toward the war, or Bush, or the United States to blind them to the fact that by hurting America’s cause they were helping those who, if given the chance, would just as soon put a bullet in their brains as give them the time of day. It makes no sense. [...]

“For example, we see this phenomena when models predicting the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere are shown to be consistently off target â€“ sometimes wildly so.”

I’m not sure what this means. No climate model that I know of attempts to predict the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Are you talking temperature here? I’d like to see the study that shows models off by a wide margin.

“Beyond using science as a political weapon, advocates of global warming regularly smear those on the other side by calling into question their motives.”

True–the focus should be on the science. However, the oil connection does give insight into why someone might be stretching facts. But first you have to prove the facts are stretched.

“And Mr. Hansenâ€™s political connections should raise a few eyebrows:”

Aren’t you doing the same thing here that you criticize AGW proponents for?

Rick,
Give me a break. Simply because the earth has warmed, a fact, should allow this environmental marxism to prevail. Prove to me that man made carbon contribution to the atmosphere affects the green house. CFC’s were proved in the laboratory and why they have been eliminated.
