You are the head of an agency that
1) put out incorrect information;
2) tried to hide the error;
3) tried to deny those who question your conclusions access to government data; and
4) refused to publicize the fact that your conclusions were wrong after revising your conclusion.

What do you have to say about those who were right when they irrefutably proved you to have made a serious scientific error?

The real deal is this: the 'royalty' controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil [sic], automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children. The court jesters are their jesters, occasionally paid for services, and more substantively supported by the captains' disinformation campaigns.

No mea culpa.

No thanks to those who advanced scientific accuracy.

Instead we see condemnation of those who advanced us closer to the truth on the basis of their alleged nefarious agenda and connections -- and a refusal to admit that the basis for your conclusions has been seriously undercut.

I have to ask -- given such clear intellectual dishonesty, why is James Hansen, head of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, still on the government payroll. After all, he is clearly manipulating the data to reach a preconceived conclusion that supports his policy preferences based upon his adherence to the cult of man-made global warming.
