Climategate: Three of the Four Temperature Datasets Now Irrevocably Tainted
Tough guy / writer Norman Mailer once said of a male actor who criticized him (can’t remember who) that “acting is not a very manly profession”. It captures it perfectly. These are already insecure people. Then they get all this fame and money and should feel better about themselves but deep inside they know they are only acting like a tough guy, acting like a soldier, acting like someone who survived real adversity. We have put these people on a pedestal but what they do is not very inspiring compared to the real thing.
So out comes drivel like this in an attempt to seem more relevant and to be part of a “real” cause along with all the fake ones. If the key to understanding politics is “follow the money” , it is “follow the insecure ego” for Hollywood.
