Is he studying the Ark of the Covenant?

IF...pretty big if. They can't find anyone comparable to Dr. Theon because he's the top guy. That's why all of you are engaged in coming up with all these reasons why you won't give me a source.

I get to study at Goddard next year. :)

So what you're saying is you don't believe junk scientists are willing to skew their results to ensure they receive the most money from Liberals.

It's amazing that you don't think these people have a monetary interest in perpetuating a certain viewpoint.

As Chief of several of NASA Headquarters’ programs (1982-94), an SES position, I was responsible for all weather and climate research in the entire agency, including the research work by James Hansen, Roy Spencer, Joanne Simpson, and several hundred other scientists at NASA field centers, in academia, and in the private sector who worked on climate research,” Theon wrote of his career. “This required a thorough understanding of the state of the science. I have kept up with climate science since retiring by reading books and journal articles,” Theon added. (LINK) Theon also co-authored the book Advances in Remote Sensing Retrieval Methods.

Theon was elected a fellow of the American Meteorological Society, given the NASA Exceptional Performance Award twice, elected an Associate Fellow of the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics, and awarded the AIAA's Losey Medal for contributions to airborne remote sensing. He was also awarded the Radio Wave Award by the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications of Japan for contributions to the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission -- a joint NASA-Japanese Space Agency satellite. Theon has authored or coauthored more than 50 NASA Reports, journal articles, monographs, chapters in books, and edited two books in the scientific literature.



Hansen 'is a political activist who spreads fear'


Award-winning NASA Astronaut and Physicist Walter Cunningham of NASA’s Apollo 7 also recently chastised Hansen. “Hansen is a political activist who spreads fear even when NASA’s own data contradict him,” Cunningham wrote in an essay in the July/August 2008 issue of Launch Magazine. “NASA should be at the forefront in the collection of scientific evidence and debunking the current hysteria over human-caused, or Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Unfortunately, it is becoming just another agency caught up in the politics of global warming, or worse, politicized science,” Cunningham wrote

I've got to say there's a special kind of irony in your linking to a blog by Senator Inhofe, the biggest energy industry ***** in Congress, as you attempt to say any scientists saying ACC is real are just in it for the money.

You mean the Republicans may possibly have financial reasons for discrediting ACC?! HOW CAN THIS BE??

Debo,

And the fact that Dr. Theon isn't accepting hundreds of thousands in donations from the DNC, or RNC for that matter, like Hansen has.

Dr. Hanson falsifying data

As many people will have read there was a glitch in the surface temperature record reporting for October. For many Russian stations (and some others), September temperatures were apparently copied over into October, giving an erroneous positive anomaly. The error appears to have been made somewhere between the reporting by the National Weather Services and NOAA’s collation of the GHCN database. GISS, which produces one of the more visible analyses of this raw data, processed the input data as normal and ended up with an October anomaly that was too high. That analysis has now been pulled (in under 24 hours) while they await a correction of input data from NOAA (Update: now (partially) completed).
[...]
The amount of simply made up stuff is also impressive – the GISS press release declaring the October the ‘warmest ever’? Imaginary (GISS only puts out press releases on the temperature analysis at the end of the year). The headlines trumpeting this result? Non-existent. One clearly sees the relief that finally the grand conspiracy has been rumbled, that the mainstream media will get it’s comeuppance, and that surely now, the powers that be will listen to those voices that had been crying in the wilderness.

I really wanted to jump in on the "conversation," but I was left speechless for days after being called a socialist baby killing left wing nutjob for following the evidence for global warming.

This seems to be a popular tactic. Call them every name in the book then call their argument weak because it didn't address all of them. (Also, I'm a gay male, whose baby am I aborting?)
