It is remarkable to me, as a quasi-scientist (physician who no longer does bench research), that as the scientific case for AGW collapses, the political case for it gains strength.

Perhaps because I am used to looking at data, I seriously don’t get this. Why aren’t people, ESPECIALLY political types, HAPPY that AGW is increasingly clearly false? Why aren’t they mocking and de-funding its proponents (we know how politicians love enemies, especially powerless ones who are at their mercy)?

What’s going on here?
