"The role of scientists should not be to develop political will to act by hiding or simplifying the uncertainties, either explicitly or implicitly, behind a negotiated consensus."
Judith Curry actually speaks like a scientist, not a politician or cultist. Real scientists not just accept, but demand repeatable, experimentally reproducible verification of their hypothesis. Real scientists actually try to DISPROVE a hypothesis by experimentation and observation. They do not demand blind acceptance of their idea and condemn those that ask for data and proof. Those are actions of religious cultists that demand blind acceptance of their dogma, regardless of other evidence.
The number of the promoters of AGW that also stand to profit on the backs of taxpayers by things like "carbon exchanges" and subsidized green companies make the integrity of their positions highly questionable.
Liberals do not seem to understand that science is not a "vote" or a "show of hands"- it is refuting the null hypothesis by careful analysis and objective evaluation of data.
