An environmentalist can be a scientist

It is possible to be an environmentalist and still be appalled by the desecration of the scientific process by no other than climate scientists themselves. It sets the conservation of the environment against the principles of honesty and fairness. Global warming has really denegerated into an intolerant religion that not only demands belief but submission to a new set of environmental morality. That's the problem.

Environmentalism does not have to distort science in exchange for advocacy in order to effect change. Advocacy will follow when science is true. And it will be if it is allowed self-examination so it can then make adjustments and corrections when reality takes a different turn from theory. But for environgelicals, agw is a matter of faith. It's circular and it's self-referential. It cannot be questioned because there is consensus. But there is consensus only because no questions are allowed.
