HEY YOU
Paleoclimatologist Tim Patterson is one of many science folks now on the evil denialist team:
Patterson says his conversion “probably cost me a lot of grant money. However, as a scientist I go where the science takes me and not where activists want me to go.”
Patterson now asserts that more and more scientists are converting to climate skeptics. “When I go to a scientific meeting, there’s lots of opinion out there, there’s lots of discussion (about climate change). I was at the Geological Society of America meeting in Philadelphia in the fall and I would say that people with my opinion were probably in the majority,” Patterson told the Winnipeg Sun on February 13, 2007.
Hmm. My recanting may have been premature. In other warmy news:
Madonna is to release a new song she has written for Live Earth.
The singer has penned ‘Hey You’ with super-producer Pharrell Williams ...
Interesting title. Shouldn’t the song be called Hey Me? Justin Madden could perform backing vocals.
