So-called “Deniergate” will actually further wreck the alarmist cause.
Don’t forget to read the Revkin e-mails from Climategate 2.0:
- Revkin flirts with skepticism
- Mann to Revkin — Use me but don’t quote me
- Revkin told freezing and melting alarm not a good PR combo
- Revkin — ‘paint human-pushed warming as an urgent imperative’
- Mann’s allies — Revkin, Science, Environmental Defense
- Revkin ‘trusted’ by the alarmists
- Alarmist to Revkin: ‘Why quote Fred Singer?’
To his credit, Revkin does answer the emails I send him, I’ve exchanged a few with him since Oct 2009, and I suggested to him earlier today that he may be in a similar kind of position that hard-line Nixon supporters found themselves in right before the resignation, when the pile of evidence got too high. I see chinks in Revkins’ armor appearing, and I asked him a couple of tough questions once again about what happens if it turns out that the long-term smear of skeptic scientists turns out to by more than just unsupportable.
Unlike other AGW promoters who lash out at such questions or go deaf, I think he does hear and understand them.
What was it the philosopher said, something about arrogant ignorance being very dangerous?
Revkin is the alarmist Trojan Horse.
