Rand Simberg seems to have coined the Climaquiddick phrase (though I can't seem to find where--I only find others referring to him having made it up--sounds like Biblical research)--referring of course to what he suspects will be the media's attempt to "whitewash and minimize" the growing scandal of global warming sycophants.
Apparently, the incomparable Iowahawk has gained access deep into the Climate Change Tower of Orthanc (or East Anglia University, as it is known in Middle Earth).
Every time I read the words "East Anglia", I think of Monty Python sketches--whenever "East Anglia" was cited, they'd pause on the first syllable just a tad too long---as in "East Ang.....lia".
Yes, East Anglia, I know it well. Suffolk County, home of Ipswich United Football Club, RAF Bentwaters, RAF Woodbridge and one of the most famous UFO sightings ever. And apparently some of the most corrupt -so called men of science- in the world. Read your history, the fiddling (a British word) of scientific research to reach a particular conclusion is the norm, not the aberration. Aristotle said politics is the supreme science because everything takes place in a political environment. Scientists depend on funding from governments. The scientists are just giving politicians what they are paying for.
