Is this former AGW skeptic right?
"Roger A. Pielke Sr., for example, a climate scientist at the University of Colorado who has been highly critical of the United Nations climate panel and who once branded many of the scientists now embroiled in the e-mail controversy part of a climate “oligarchy,” said that so many independent measures existed to show unusual warming taking place that there was no real dispute about it. Moreover, he said, “The role of added carbon dioxide as a major contributor in climate change has been firmly established.”

If the "science is settled", why did they have to cook the books, fudge data and hide skeptical reports?
Psst... MGW is a HOAX! And YOU KNOW IT!

Over the last decade, no legitimate climate scientist could dispute that global warming is real. Its not an issue at all in scientific circles and journals. If you read the top journals in ALL of science (PNAS, Nature, Science), you'll notice there is NEVER a reference in papers to the 'possibility of warming", as there was fifteen years ago.
Global warming is real. Take it from the scientific community, theres no real arguments anymore.

The first time I flew into LA Calif. with my parents I was sixteen in 1969 . Having grown up in the pristine mountains of the South West the pollution that hung over that immense city was hot and stifling to me .Fortunately we were moving to a Naval Air base more north along the coast .
I knew way back then that this pollution could not go on forever with out something
happening to the atmosphere .
I have never needed science to tell me or verify what my natural senses already knew .

The Climate Science Isn't Settled
"...articles from major modeling centers acknowledged that the failure of these models to anticipate the absence of warming for the past dozen years was due to the failure of these models to account for this natural internal variability. Thus even the basis for the weak IPCC argument for anthropogenic climate change was shown to be false."

Apparently, he doesn't understand that their is SOME dissent about that point. You are citing, for reference, groups that gain monetarily from the warming studies. Remember that old saying?? Follow the money? Guess where it all goes?? Remember Mt. St. Helens? CO2 does indeed create a blanket like effect, but, fortunately, trees just devour the stuff. They love it!! So, even if it IS warming...and it isn't, that would be good for crops and trees and plant life everywhere....and isn't that just sweet? You all better HOPE for warming over cooling. Can't farm much in ice. Just doesn't work...

Just because that's what he says doesn't make it true. Things like evidence are kinda important too. There are financial and politcal motivations behind the studies about global warming. It's not science.

You'll find both brands of those who switch. Maybe he just bought stock in one of these BS outfits. The real question is 'Why did the researchers at the CRU have to falsify the data unless it doesn't support this lib nonsense?

Just another hack bought off by the greenies.
Follow the money in this thing, baby.
This is science just like eugenics was science. It's half political, 1/4 science, and 1/4 Al Gore's bank account.

Sounds like he is taking money for CO2 research and is validating his preconceptions.

The New York Slimes is as credible as Al Gore. He is a fraud, global warming is a fraud, and President Obama is a fraud.
