The problems is the Left makes science a political issue.

In summary: Americans don't buy into the push for anthropogenic global warming because they're stupid.

Real scientists don't belittle peers who question their claims, nor star in fear mongering political hit pieces.

Yep.  The most unscientific thing I hear from his ilk is " the science is settled."

For such an intelligent man who is so passionate about the fundamentals of science, it is incredible how he throws his weight behind "truth".

He is either intellectually dishonest or worse.

Ignorant right wingers!

Science isn't about hard evidence or questions.

Science is about ad hominem and baseless claims!

Thau hast sinned against thine climate. So shall ye tithe unto thine anointed priests of Climatology. Speaketh no blasphemy in question of thine priests.

... That's science, ignorant republicans.

He is bought and paid for, pure and simple.

A mouthpiece who traded integrity for a Porche.

Science should not be a political tool.  It should be above that.  Unfortunately it is not.

I read a story on reddit the other day by a guy (self proclaimed leftist that is also a space enthusiast) that got pissed because he bought two tickets for he and his gf at $45/ea to see NDT in person and he was pissed because it had almost nothing to do with discovery or space but was also mostly unknown guest "climate science" professors with highly politicized views on the whole reason he came. He too was very disappointed.

If Neil is any kind of scientist at all, (and I question that) he's a sellout scientist.  He certainly isn't the only one though.

He's in his position for one reason.

You should go read the dowsing thread.

Science, like everything else, has become about money - getting your program/project funded, keeping it funded, growing the funding, stretching the duration, adding scope to the work.  

Then, parlay your results into the need for,... wait for it,... more money.

After all, science doesn't finally answer questions, it allows you to ask ever more detailed, more insightful questions.

What people really want to know is, "Why".  What science answers is, "How".  

Most people are mistaken into thinking these two things are one and the same.  They are not.

NGT is an attention whore of the most public degree.  He (and friends) downgraded Pluto from a planet to a "dwarf planet" without consulting a planetologist, and in violation of the rules that they, themselves, made to define a planet.

The concept of science and NGT do not belong in the same paragraph.

What a maroon!  What an ignoranimous!

I think his snarky bullshit about open borders disqualifies him from any sort of serious topic.
