Lets create another big Climate Thingy so I can be the boss on big bucks please!OH,I can employ my mates,at least the ones who believe in the Goricle.If you have one service with the wrong agenda (no matter how good the first intentions are) we are worse off,it stifles debate.
Scientists don't cherry pick for science,but for political or financial reasons.
If someone like James Hanson ran it,God help us.(sorry Al for taking your name in vain).
