Climate academic probed by Congress falsely charges colleagues with Conflict of Interest
Some colleagues and I wrote an article that appeared on the Huffington Post yesterday, responding to unfounded charges by one of the scientists from whom Congress has requested more information about his funding.
The short summary: Don’t impugn the integrity of other researchers when you haven’t done your homework, and don’t say things that aren’t true.
Here’s the intro paragraph:
Roger J. Pielke, Jr.
Addendum: I’ve just learned that Professor Pielke has apparently retired from the world of Climate Policy, on the same day that our response was posted. The timing is no doubt a coincidence, but it may mean that we won’t hear back from him about our request. Someone posted a link to our response on his final blog posting. We’ll see if he responds.
