ClimateGate Prof in Debate: Will you shut up

Climategate Professor to Skeptic on Live BBC TV: ‘What an Assh*le’

P.S.

One of Watson's colleagues at the University of East Anglia, Professor Mike Hulme, declared Climategate reveals climate science had become 'too partisan, too centralized.” Hulme, a climate scientist who was listed as “the 10th most cited author in the world in the field of climate change, does not mince words on the magnitude of the scandal.

Hulme has even suggested that the UN IPCC has run its course. ”

“It is possible that climate science has become too partisan, too centralized. The tribalism that some of the leaked emails display is something more usually associated with social organization within primitive cultures,” Hulme wrote on November 27, 2009.

“It is also possible that the institutional innovation that has been the [UN] I.P.C.C. has run its course. “The I.P.C.C. itself, through its structural tendency to politicize climate change science, has perhaps helped to foster a more authoritarian and exclusive form of knowledge production,” Hulme explained.

Primitive authoritarians. That about sums it up. Just what you want in a "scientist". I guess we should be thankful they're not sophisticated authoritarians. And their defenders like Professor Jeffrey it's just an isolated incident Sachs suggest we're the ones who are rubes.

P.S. Joke is on Silva. Who's the Luddite here. Please.
