But Plait rolls out the "97% of climate scientists" not only sans asterisk, but doubles down on it with an opinion piece.

I hate Huckabee, but he's a politician. Plait is a science denier. He has only a passing interest in the science. He wants to play in the political. There is no reason to engage a politician if we are doing science.

If the science agrees with him he will use it. If it roughly agrees he will massage it until it seems to. This is what politicians do!!!

Real scientists don't have a side in this game because there is no SIDE in science!!! other than truth, and politics and truth are bitter enemies!!!
