U.S. Govt Scientist vs. U.S. Govt Scientist: NOAA’s Hoerling turns on NASA’s Hansen: ‘Facts should, and do, matter’ — Hansen is ‘intent to instill fear rather than reason’ – Claims ‘patently false’
NOAA's Martin Hoerling: 'The [Hansen] piece is policy more than it is science, to be sure...But facts should, and do, matter to some. The vision of a Midwest Dustbowl is a scary one, & [Hansen] appears intent to instill fear rather than reason. [Hansen] asserts: 'The global warming signal is now louder than the noise of random weather...' --This is patently false'
