This mendacious piece of shit is capitalizing on Americans’ fundamental lack of scientific training. Red team / blue team is what scientists do every goddamned day. That’s what peer review fucking is.

U.S. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is leading a formal initiative to challenge mainstream climate science using a “back-and-forth critique” by government-recruited experts, according to a senior administration official.

The program will use “red team, blue team” exercises to conduct an “at-length evaluation of U.S. climate science,” the official said, referring to a concept developed by the military to identify vulnerabilities in field operations.
