Claims of human caused global warming began with a deception and the pattern continues.
It appears a new response of climate scientists caught in malfeasance has evolved as the original deception fails. It’s called self-victimization that Wikipedia defines as;
“the fabrication of victimhood for a variety of reasons such to justify abuse of others, to manipulate others, a coping strategy or attention seeking.”
James Hansen, 71 years old and director of the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS), produced a recent example. Going to Scotland for another speech, he played the victimization card now familiar to IPCC affiliated and Climatic Research Unit (CRU) people, like Director Phil Jones who claimed he considered suicide after the emails were leaked. Hansen played the card in October 2011 when he said,
“Climate sceptics are winning the argument with the public over global warming.”
His latest comments are an expansion and suggest political tunnel vision rather than scientific awareness. Here are his comments (H) with my commentary (B).
Anytime a proposition or a policy is based on deception and intimidation of those who question it, there is something very, very wrong with it.
The warmists are playing the victim card because they’re not racial minorities, but want the same result. Pretty soon they’ll be filing lawsuits about employers discriminating against them in hiring decisions. Which may eventually happen at universities, after this whole thing is debunked. Like a flat-Earther applying for a job teaching astronomy.
Nope. No problem getting or keeping jobs in academe with the group-think that goes on there. Now, if they lost their ability for grant funding….
