Climate of Fear

Richard Lindzen writing in today's WSJ claims that the feeding frenzy over global warming is basically scientist clamoring for more Federal money. Any dissenters in the scientific community must be shouted down.
Alarm rather than genuine scientific curiosity, it appears, is essential to maintaining funding. And only the most senior scientists today can stand up against this alarmist gale, and defy the iron triangle of climate scientists, advocates and policymakers.

Read the whole thing, I'm sure there will be some blogosphere discussion of this editorial today. Always beware of scientist when they won't even allow debate, as global warming advocates do.
