Give it to a skeptic!: "Climate Science Deserves a Nobel Prize, Too" https://t.co/vYD2lRaSgp

Do you know why?
It may not have the wow factor of other sciences, but the goals are equally noble.
I don’t know about the wow factor. It’s pretty “wow” when someone cheats and manufactures data and results. People like Stalim, Mao, Chavezz, and many other authoritarians probably think the end goals are noble, too.
Climate science in the United States is in an existential crisis. President-elect Donald Trump has promised to cut funding for Earth science, and the Republican-controlled Senate and House of Representatives will probably make good on those promises. The broader scientific community has mostly stood in solidarity with climate researchers assaulted by denialism.
Sounds more like a religious or political movement, doesn’t it?
The rest is just trying to push this silly notion, but, hey, it might be a great idea, as it would certainly expose just how fraudulent the AGW science is, much like giving a Nobel to Obama.
