    Chances are VERY few would care very much, unless they knew you, or they shared your interests anyway.

    Of course it only takes one whacko who thinks god is speaking through a dog and she is ordering the murder of "sinners" because the consumption oatmeal for breakfast is a violation of the natural order of things. It isn't paranoia if someone is actually out to get you.

  11. Re:RealClimate has a big reply on this on Climatic Research Unit Hacked, Files Leaked · · Score: 1

    all serious climate scientists believe man made global warming is the best model to explain their data is all us non-climate scientists really need to know

    Unsurprisingly, it appears some of these "serious" scientists appear to b e sacrificing the scientific method and data transparency on the alters of expediency, greed, ego and a personal "belief" that their hypothesis is almost assuredly the correct one, as, I am sure, Lysenko was as well. It makes me very suspicious when alternate hypothesis are decried and their authors subjected to political asshattery. From my point of view the majority of the whackjobs tossing around the hot potato (pun intended) appear to be AGW hangers-on. I have to advocate more data and a more balanced allocation of funding to camps other than the ones spending more time shouting than engaging in honest data collection and modeling.
