[quote]Some might think that this does not prove a sell out – only a collaboration with these groups. That would require believing that a well known scientist with no history of climate research of his own comes out with a list of wingnut talking points that are easily scientifically refuted just because of the goodness of his heart – because he believes his contrary “science” so much that he had to speak out – but he does not bother to publish a single paper on the topic that can be peer reviewed.
If he truly had some data to take down climate science, he would publish it somewhere. But he hasn’t.
Of course he is getting paid. Of course Heartland pays its “experts.” There is no other motivation for a respected scientist to act so unscientifically and tarnish an otherwise sterling reputation.
