A list of persons whom apriori assumed I am lefty/liberal/socialist because of my views on climate science…
MikeD “a sanctimonius liberal warmist”
Craig “Another boring diatribe from a liberal”
Fantom “a typical garden variety bennie wearing liberal”
“Bazar”, the “leftist idiot alarmist”
Good Ole Charlie “Comrade Lazar”
That’s 5/9 who responded.
My political views…
I supported GWB, twice, then McCain.
I supported and continue to support wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I think Iraq is a great success, and Afghanistan an improvement.
Capitalism is empirically the best economic system ever devised.
Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan are the two politicians I most admire.
I *know* that the welfare state corrupts society.
One of my favorite books is the brilliantly expounded “The Road to Serfdom” by Friedrich Hayek.
My philosphical bedrock is “Thoughts on the French Revolution” by Edmund Burke.
My self-identification is conservative.
This stupid attitude/approach to science is directly the consequence of sites like PJM printing stuff like;
“overfunding scientists until they become politicized. But that kind of science will sell out its only real mission — of discovering and telling the truth — to the highest bidder.”
instead of concentrating on and accurately reporting the science.
Shame.
