re: #575 Walter L. Newton

I’m not sure what this all means? I understand the part about “does not indicate that climate science is a fraud or that we need not worry about a human influence on the climate system…” but I thought there was nothing wrong with the process, procedures and policies of the major climate science centers… evidently this scientist thinks that it warrants interest… ” What it does tell us is that there have been some unhealthy goings on in the climate community…”

I love it. It’s a scientist saying that it’s healthier to have a more open dialogue, despite inevitable attempts by others to cherry-pick the dialogue, then to attempt secrecy and the greater risks to credibility which lie along that path.

I’m generalizing, of course, but the more that climatologists admit what they don’t know, the less it can be made to seem that they are hiding something or making sensational claims.
