Politics and science will always be mixed, whether we like it or not.

I suspect what Judith has in mind, is the idea that political affiliations should be brought out into the open instead of (as now, in government climate science) being sneakily hidden, with politically-laden science and scientists masquerading as being politically neutral and objective

[my] view that it is the heat produced by our energy use, not the CO2 by-product that causes global warming.

So the heat from the sun is a mere side-issue ?

I tried the channel Steven & still don’t get it….good night.

@tempterrain
But what if the consensus position on AGW is correct and the right wing of American politics is wrong?

I think what he means is : but what if the leftwing consensus position is wrong and the open minded skeptical position is right ?

…Blogging Under the Influence.
BUI should really be a crime.

I had to smile when I read these two contributions to the intellectual debate by ‘health care’ campaigners:
Dr Walter Willett – “This study is really a pile of rubbish and no one should waste their time reading it.”
Prof John Wass – “Have you ever seen a 100-year-old human being who is overweight? The answer is you probably haven’t.”

New Years Resolution for Climate Scientists?

Start behaving like scientists.

New Years Resolution for Scientists? What would it take for scientists to achieve a resolution with their critics and “gain the confidence of people and politicians across the political spectrum” ?

The phrase in italics is code for the ultra – right , it would seem.

No, it means exactly what it says. “Code”, if you insist, for for everyone except the ultra-left (aka the Consensus)

Andrew Adams,
The reason that government climate science under the Bush and Obama administrations are essentially the same, is that they are both still state-funded, and hence primarily focussed on promoting the interests of the state – which in this case means creating acceptance of the a ‘science’ that justifies more taxes and a general expansion of the state.

Michael, I’m going to a party next week, and to please you I will try to work “cloaca” into a conversation. Maybe I also can work in gallus gallus domesticus. I hope deviled eggs are served.

Don, hate to say it, but right now, the majority of the science in the CC sphere does point to CO2 having an effect on our planets energy content.

un fool yourself david. In about 6 years bangledesh went from having less than 1 cell phone per hundred people, to having 50million people with cell phones. think micro loans. The program was called something like the village phone program. close to 80% of the physical country has coverage and over 95% of the population is covered.

That ol’ right brain / left brain disfunction, RiH :)

I’ve heard a lot of Malthusian peak oil stories come and go. Is peak water next? At a used book sale, I once saw a book from 1966 by former house speaker, Jim Wright, entitled, “The Coming Water Famine”:
