David Appell: Another Bad Climate Apple
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- September 9, 2024
“The Master Resource people are whores of the fossil fuel industry. (Yes, that certainly includes you.)” – David Appell to author, March 5, 2014
If temperament and dramatis persona matter, the climate alarmists lose resoundingly to their scientific critics. I have gotten to know the quite reasonable, friendly Roy Spencer, John Christy, Craig D. Idso, Richard Lindzen, and other leaders of the so-called climate realist, global lukewarming school. And Marlo Lewis et al. (CEI); James Taylor, Sterling Burnett, et al. (Heartland); Craig Rucker, Marc Morano, et al. at CFACT; and many more on the advocacy side.
All of ‘us’ know the difference between straight analysis and advocacy versus ad hominem argumentation. Our side is polite … but tough on naked pleas for government authoritarianism or civil disruption by climate alarmists/forced energy transformationists.
On the other hand, by email and social-media interaction, I have encountered the quite emotional, spiteful bad apples of climate alarmism, including John Holdren, Joe Romm, Andrew Dessler, and Gunnar Schade. And remember Peter Gleick? Also, the Climategate bunch led by the wrath-warped Michael Mann?
And compare Paul Ehrlich to Julian Simon to see the difference between a scholar and a master of insults.
