JoNova (Australia)
Remember how some climate scientists wanted to give up debating science and potentially jail skeptics
instead? These were the 20 “scientists” who reasoned by looking for
“tobacco tactics” in opponent’s arguments. They called for a RICO
investigation — a the kind of racketeering investigation done on the
mafia. I pointed out their team used more “tobacco tactics” against
skeptics than anything the skeptics did, but looks like that may have
been only the minor part of their projection of their own flaws.
It turns out that the scientist driving the letter, along with his
wife and daughter, has made over $5m above his university salary, and
now questions are being raised in Congress about his “double dipping”.
The National Science Foundation is very unhappy about scientists who
blur the line between their university and their outside consulting, and
earn twice for doing the same job. I hear people have been jailed for
this sort of thing.
Have a look at how well the leader of the group-of-20 has been doing:
meet Jagadish Shukla, professor of climate dynamics at George Mason
University, who must now be wishing he hadn’t called for an
investigation."
