climate science accuracy, advocacy

This article in the Washington Post captures some of my feelings about the issues raised by (in my opinion) carelessness in how climate science results have been communicated, or not.

One of the fantastic qualities of the scientific method is focus on reproducibility of results; share your data, analysis, and conclusions, and others can verify or not your results.   Opinion and advocacy is welcome; both are separate from the scientific process.  Rely on science for scientific results; engage the political sphere to determine policy.
