Lindzen ... differentiated “industry stooges” as a separate category, people who were interested in obfuscating the issue towards supporting their own agenda, as opposed to people that are interested in the scientific truth. This is an important distinction, separating the Marshall Institute type reports (many of which are of the stooge nature), vs the more credible scientific scepticism. The challenge is for a bona fide skeptic to steer clear of being associated with stoogedom. ... Gray’s use of the 1970’s global cooling thing is one of the favorite arguments of AGW stoogedom and doesn’t hold up under any analysis (I suspect Gray came up with this on his own, independently of stoogedom PR). So stoogeism is arguably making the job of the real skeptic more difficult. The reverse is also a true. The enviro groups do sort of the same thing but with a somewhat different strategy (although arguably not as effectively), and close alignment with the more extreme enviro advocacy groups can hurt the credibility of pro AGW scientists. As a result of the policy relevance of climate research, all this definitely does get in the way of sorting out the “truth” and uncertainty. This whole issue presents a huge challenge to scientists working on relevant problems (as well as to the public who is trying to make sense of it all)."<BR/><BR/>and<BR/>http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=857#comment-52775<BR/><BR/><BR/>Now back to you and yours (grin).Hank Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521410755553979665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-1161062299050844722006-10-17T01:18:00.000-04:002006-10-17T01:18:00.000-04:00Hey, can we get back to the subject of this post p...Hey, can we get back to the subject of this post please: me! :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the promotion, Eli!cobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042136876169040477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-1160975833909569462006-10-16T01:17:00.000-04:002006-10-16T01:17:00.000-04:00I think that if Roger finds out that you've been b...I think that if Roger finds out that you've been breathing air, then you're also an issue advocate.Andrew Desslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930067023788250505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-1160967568690365102006-10-15T22:59:00.000-04:002006-10-15T22:59:00.000-04:00This Roger?http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=857#comm...This Roger?<BR/>http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=857#comment-52315Hank Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521410755553979665noreply@blogger.com
