Silly me.
I thought he was evaluating the integrity of official climate records.
What kind of moron wouldnt trust the government?
Obviously deniers and whackos.
He was certainly denying and whacking in that video.

Not enough information to answer that question.Here's tonight's existential question. A climate change researcher gets on a plane in New York, flies to Reagan airport, and takes the blue line to a symposium on climate change at George Washington University. A political economist gets on a plane in San Francisco, flies into Reagan airport, and takes the yellow line to the Cato Institute for a symposium on the power of free markets to transform American infrastructure. Who's the bigger hypocrite?

That would depend on the AGW researchers rate of consumption vs. rate of AGW alarmism.Using our world's existing fossil fuel infrastructure doesn't make an AGW researcher a hypocrite.
What is the goal of the Climate Symposium? What and who is the "political economist"?We can expand the scenario. What else would you like to know?
Maybe the official records help politicians to decide the rate at which they will subsidize the fossil fuel industry.Silly me.

The point is, this guy, "Goddard", seriously contends that the government is not honest.Maybe the official records help politicians to decide the rate at which they will subsidize the fossil fuel industry.
Becau$e of the incentive$.The point is, this guy, "Goddard", seriously contends that the government is not honest.
I dont know what kind of denial that comes under, but it just sounds insane to me.
Why would any government agency be dishonest?
This is why we need more socialism.Becau$e of the incentive$.
But then you just incentivize the oligarchs and chrony capitalism.This is why we need more socialism.
We need to eradicate all incentive.
What is the goal of the Climate Symposium? What and who is the "political economist"?
And their rate of Alarm? Are they Leonardo Di Caprio alarmed?Back to this. The goal of the climate symposium in our scenario is how to identify and validate forcing variables in large data sets. Our climate researcher is basically a statistician who works in this area.
A treatment of the concerns of political economists be found here:

Our San Francisco friend has classical libertarian views and is specifically interested in the relationship between government and infrastructure. For example, they have written extensively on the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 and its negative effect on American democracy.
Both have read Walden. Neither were much impressed, albeit for different reasons.
There are people who are claiming the sea ice is expanding as we speak!!Lolz!

MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report) – Scientists have discovered a powerful new strain of fact-resistant humans who are threatening the ability of Earth to sustain life, a sobering new study reports.
The research, conducted by the University of Minnesota, identifies a virulent strain of humans who are virtually immune to any form of verifiable knowledge, leaving scientists at a loss as to how to combat them.
“These humans appear to have all the faculties necessary to receive and process information,” Davis Logsdon, one of the scientists who contributed to the study, said. “And yet, somehow, they have developed defenses that, for all intents and purposes, have rendered those faculties totally inactive.”
More worryingly, Logsdon said, “As facts have multiplied, their defenses against those facts have only grown more powerful.”
While scientists have no clear understanding of the mechanisms that prevent the fact-resistant humans from absorbing data, they theorize that the strain may have developed the ability to intercept and discard information en route from the auditory nerve to the brain. “The normal functions of human consciousness have been completely nullified,” Logsdon said.
While reaffirming the gloomy assessments of the study, Logsdon held out hope that the threat of fact-resistant humans could be mitigated in the future. “Our research is very preliminary, but it’s possible that they will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,” he said.
You Ehrlichians crack me up!!“Our research is very preliminary, but it’s possible that they will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,” he said.
You Ehrlichians crack me up!!
What was your first clue?Please tell me you realize that was a parody article...
Are we talking about Venezuela or the environmentWhile reaffirming the gloomy assessments of the study, Logsdon held out hope that the threat of fact-resistant humans could be mitigated in the future. “Our research is very preliminary, but it’s possible that they will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,” he said.
