>he is a political scientist, not an actual scientist, and is a frequent witness for the looniest of right-wing congressmen Straight to the ad-hominem, dismiss

  The entire blog post is judgement calls, it's eminently fair to call into question his judgement. Particularly is somebody goes by "The Honest Broker" but instead seems to prefer partisan political fights. So in sum: if he frequently has partisan politics, that's pretty important to know. Almost no climate scientists get active in partisan politics because they don't want it to taint the perception of the science. Since the perception was tainted anyway, and acceptance of facts and science have become so politicized along partisan lines, I think there are more scientists who are open to working with politicians, at somewhat of a distance.
