'When global warming fraud ends, so does Andy Revkin's career,' commenter-not a member of Norfolk Constabulary just dislikes double standards

3/6/12, "Revkin: I’m No Worse Than the Norfolk Constabulary," Talking About The Weather, Harold Ambler (2 comments listed below)

"With time, I have come to be increasingly interested in the fact that Andy Revkin and the New York Times have failed to publish any substantive reporting on this last remaining piece of the Fakegate puzzle. And I have asked Revkin whether he was looking into the fake document’s authorship.

Revkin responded in a direct Twitter message: “ideas welcome (re/ investigating the doc).” I brought up the fact that he might want to ask Gleick directly. I brought it up more than once, in fact. It turned out in the end, that ideas were welcome in order to then be dismissed out of hand. That led to this post: “The Sound of Silence.”

In comments to that post, RayG mentioned that he had followed up on my queries to Revkin with his own. Here is RayG’s first comment:

I just posted this in Andrew Revkin’s DotEarth thread on Jonathan Foley. I will check back later to see if it makes it through moderation and, if so, if he responds.

Mr. Revkin, I realize that what I am about to ask is off-topic but consider it to be a question that warrants a response. Have you contacted Dr. Peter Gleick directly and asked him, in plain language, if he is the author of the “Strategy Document” that he forwarded to at least 15 recipients as a part of the package that included the documents that he obtained from the Heartland Institute?”

Six and a half hours later came this: RayG had news of a response from Revkin on Dot Earth Blog:

I answered this when Harold Ambler asked. Folks can interpret the silence any way they please. There’s still silence from the Norfolk Constabulary, as well, and plenty of interpretations of that lack of noise.

Apparently, Revkin is suggesting a moral equivalence between Climategate and Fakegate. In the way that he intends the equivalence, this is appalling. More on that in a moment. Perhaps more appalling still, he is also comparing

  • to the Norfolk police’s

inability to show that an external climate skeptic hacked the University of East Anglia’s computer system prior to the 2009 release of documents that came to be known as Climategate. He seems to be saying, “Yes, I am on the side that found Climategate to be morally abhorrent, and it has been very hard not to see justice done in that case. How do those of you on your side

  • like it
  • when the self-appointed

moral police that I am part of do not effectuate justice in this case?”"...

====================

Comments to above post about climate profiteer Andy Revkin:

"Alan Watt says:

I think a much more interesting question to ask Andrew Revkin is whether he believes the Heartland Institute activities are in any respect not protected and guaranteed under the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Or whether he believes their activities violate any provisions of IRS regulations concerning tax-exempt corporations. Perhaps he can be coaxed out of silence on these points."

Seriously, does anyone doubt anymore that Revkin is one of the died in the wool warmists, who’s just a little bit more circumspect than the rest of “The Team”? He had a momentary shock and slipped a bit when Gleick’s dishonesty was first revealed, but now he’s back on his game and he’s going to run 24/7 interference for the Noble Cause of Global Warming.

Thinking that he is capable of even the imitation of honesty is folly. He’s as big a fraud as the rest of them. His entire professional life, just like the rest of them, is BUILT upon the fraud. When the fraud ends, so does his career. He knows this, why isn’t it obvious to everyone else?" via Climate Depot
