Mann has such “sincere doubts,” of course, because as Climategate 2.0 verified, Revkin is an enthusiastic part of Team Warmist.
Background: RealClimate publishes Marcott’s hokey stick defense on Easter Sunday. Andy Revkin calls the timing “irksome.” Someone apparently called Revkin a “fossil fuel shill” for the comment. Mann comes to Revkin’s defense (below).
Mann knows Revkin is no “fossil fuel shill.” Check out this evidence form Climategate 2.0.
It’s so much fun to see the fools fighting each other at times.
Environmental and industry advocates tend to send their money where the results support their agendas. That’s been true for a long time and it’s perfectly reasonable and fair. There’s a thin line between an ad hominem “guilt by association” attack and the valid “birds of a feather” position, too.
The hypocrisy of the watermelons bothers me a lot more than the idea that WWF and Greenpeace fund their advocates and the energy industry give a little money to their advocates.
