How can Peter Gleick complain about funding? In 2004 alone US gov. diverted $5.1 billion taxpayer dollars to "climate change funding," per GAO report

2/20/12, August 2005 GAO Report, "Federal Reports on Climate Change Funding Should Be Clearer and More Complete"

"Federal funding for climate change increased from $2.4 billion in 1993 to $5.1
billion in 2004 (116 percent), as reported by OMB, or from $3.3 billion to $5.1
billion (55 percent) after adjusting for inflation."

I only note that the scientific understanding of the reality and risks of climate change is strong, compelling, and increasingly disturbing, and a rational public debate [is conspiracy to prevent scientific debate?] desperately needed. My judgment was blinded by my frustration with the ongoing efforts — often anonymous, well-funded, and coordinated — to attack climate science and scientists and prevent this debate, and by the lack of transparency of the organizations involved.

Gleick pleads for debate now? Against forces that “prevent this debate….” Yet the original climategate emails reveal systematic effort by climate scientists to prevent genuine scientific debate about climate change….

organizations like HI, he implicitly alleges, “prevent this debate, and by the lack of transparency of the organizations involved.” Yet the climategate emails indicate a conspiracy to defeat FOIA laws exercised to expand transparency needed to conduct science,

• hugely important to taxpayers and the public.

Clearly, Gleick is internally struggling with the enormous hypocrisies involved since climategate – and failing to cope well."
