My beef is pretty simple : they're not doing good science. I always thought of them as well-meaning but misdirected researchers. Since the emails came out, I don't think they are that well meaning anymore. My problem with the whole thing is that to me, from day one in the late 1980's, the man-made global warming hypothesis has been full of contradicting information, alarmist predictions and became a political football. I don't believe the ends justify the means. I also don't like the money and 'public thought' that has been diverted from real, immediate environmental problems like ocean and air pollution, things that can be solved for a fraction of the price and will make real difference to people straight away.
