The American Geophysical Union and Climate Hysteria
Benjamin D. Santer: Ready to fightThe American Geophysical Union (AGU) is an important scientific society. It includes many earth science disciplines and publishes numerous journals. Unfortunately the organization has been co-opted by global warming extremists. The great majority of the scientists who study the Earth’s climate don’t have an extremist position on climate change. However, true believers of the “imminent catastrophe” school tend to be activists. These are the people who stay to the end of every meeting, get appointed to committees, and generally punch above their weight in organization politics.
The true believers don’t waver in the face of contradictory facts or data. For the true believers, ideology trumps facts. They are agile thinkers and can always figure a method of explaining away any negative information that might disconfirm the impending climate catastrophe.
