You can see the effect in Sea Otter, who attacks the person rather than the facts and argument, because she is unable to intelligently reason about her Gaia beliefs in the Priesthood. <it's all a bit too dogmatic... > When people have adopted a tribal dogma, they are beyond reason. Their tribal identity is more important to them than being right, though of course they also think they are right. Her "scientists" Mann, Jones and Briffa, bear the same relationship to actual scientists such as Einstein, Popper, Feynman as a naughty night with hired help does to marriage. Mann Made Warming is not quite up there with the Special Theory of Relativity in the science stakes. "Hiding the decline" .... laughable... "I will destroy the data before I let anyone check it" .... criminal.... But to true believers like Sea Otter, perfectly reasonable. Camp followers like Sea Otter aren't actually scientists, and couldn't do it at school let alone higher levels so are reduced to simply following Al Gore and David Suzuki who are in it for their Second Chakra, the money and status.
