Note that Pielke&#8217;s work on land use and its effect on climate is peer reviewed, yet, for some reason, it just doesn&#8217;t count when talking about climate change. When you so obviously stack the deck in your favor, it is no wonder you get a consensus.<\/p>\n<p>PS. Note to Ed Barnes and Fox News; fact checking can be your friend. Rodger Pielke resigned from the CCSP, and not the IPCC (though other scientists have for the same reasons), and how can Tom Karl be <em>&#8220;appointed to oversee the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration&#8217;s (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.noaa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>NOAA<\/strong><\/a>) National Climatic Data Center, an ambitious <\/em><strong>new office<\/strong><em> that will collect climate change data and disseminate it to businesses and communities.&#8221;<\/em>, and also have\u00a0 <em>&#8220;played a pivotal role in key climate decisions over the past decade, has kept a low profile as director of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncdc.noaa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>National Climatic Data Center<\/strong><\/a> (NCDC) <\/em><strong>since 1998<\/strong><em>,&#8230;&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When someone of my lack of fact-checking skills feels the need to lecture another, you know something is wrong.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: This next bit demonstrates just how much the process is stilted against the skeptics.
