Michael Mann, another prominent climate scientist.

I wonder how big of an act of fraud Mann would have to commit to lose the "prominent climate scientist" title. It seems his latest 'research' wasn't egregious enough fot The Hill.

As long as those bozos continue pumping out agenda driven lies to line their pockets with liberal grant money, then are going to be called on the carpet. Their lies have a direct impact on the quality of life of everyone in the U.S. Their lies become the basis for regulations that have no basis in real science. Let them be chilled into solid ice as long as they persist in pushing the lying agenda.

Just for fun, I did a quick search on their site and checked the names of the Board of Directors and “other members” at OpenSecrets for donations.

Alice Huang, Chair of the AAAS Board - Hilary Clinton (D), 80/20 Pac, Emily’s list

Knowlton, Nancy - Smithsonian - Bill Foster (D), Barack Obama (D)

Inder Verma - Salk Institute - Hillary Clinton (D)

Thomas A Woolsey - Washinton University - DNC Services Corp (D)

Most of the others listed came up with no records found, somewhat of a plus for them I guess.

Also, the Wikipedia entry for the AAAS states:

“In December 2006, the AAAS adopted an official statement on climate change in which they stated, “The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society....The pace of change and the evidence of harm have increased markedly over the last five years. The time to control greenhouse gas emissions is now.”

You may correctly surmise that at no time was I surprised doing this little tidbit of research.

Mommy-Mommy --- those boys are being mean to me!

LOL. After ass clowns like Jim Hensen call for the imprisonment of people who dare to disagree with them they are now bitching that citizens want to check his taxpayer funded books.

Total hustlers! It's time to end this scam.

All publicly funded research DATA should be published as it is collected, WITHOUT any need for FOIA requests. There should be as little publicly funded “Science” as possible, as it is a corrupting influence. And, true science is done based upon facts and data, NOT CONSENSUS! Read “Caught Green-Handed” by Lord Monckton, available at http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/originals/climategate.html

The most important thing is, a Hypothesis is either supported by the DATA or it isn’t. When Consensus is used and the DATA is CORRUPTED and MANIPULATED like in the Climategate scandal, we are in BIG BIG TROUBLE! The Scientific method, begun by Sir Francis Bacon hundreds of years ago, it is the objective to try to DISPROVE your own Hypothesis... if it stands up it MIGHT get upgraded to a THEORY ... but even theories are later DISPROVEN. Then, true Progress is made! You NEVER look for SUPPORTING DATA alone! That is NOT Science.

An old liberal trick is to send hate mail to your own group and blame it on conservatives. You’ve seen them at Tea Parties - liberals pretending to be conservatives... You’ve heard them call Rush’s program. I’m sure liberals send these so called scientists fake letters too... It’s a liberal MO

...unreasonable, excessive Freedom of Information Act requests for personal information and voluminous data that are then used to harass and intimidate scientists,”

Welcome to Sarah Palin's world, except that the folks doing it to her are looking to destroy her PERSONALLY.

have created a “hostile environment”

The hostile environment was created years ago by the lefty crowd pushing this stuff.

Pushing back is merely a response to the hostile evironment you created.

Now they want to cry about it.

I just can’t relate to communists, going so far out of their way to make up lies. Resorting to the typical Marxist tactic where they accuse their opponent of committing the crimes they’re guilty of.

How is it possible to do this day in and day out, and not feel like a piece of garbage?
