I am not a scientist, but am married to a former
published research scientist, so I do know about how cutthroat and conspiratorial the scientific community is. One poster described it perfectly...it's all about keeping that government grant money rolling in. If they have to alter data or destroy the credibility of a fellow researcher, as has happened in this case, those wed to the cause are not above doing so.
Not everyone is fooled or intimidated by the dropping of a Federal Agency name. The EPA, NASA and NOAA (or Noah) have s**t in their mess kits on this subject, and now they're backing and filling on the subject in an effort to find safe ground...ergo the change from "global warming" to "global climate change".
I will grant you this...time will tell. However, the continuing cost to the American taxpayers has gone much over the value of this
religion.
