That
Paul Erhlich, Stanford's Ward Churchill, is still active (being
paid) in academia says much about the practice of "tenure."
But, I digress.
I read the New York Times article first, last week, and thought it was too-too delicious. Godwin's Law would be bullet-proof if it was instead reductio ad McCarthyism " "McCarthyite" is used as denouement by the hard left whenever one of theirs is caught red-handed.*snort* "Nothing to see here, move on."
What did Sen. McCarthy do to earn the left's enmity?
He charged that the State Department was riddled with Communists (not
Hollywood, the State Dept.), which we know with certainty to be, if
anything, a vast understatement of the truth. Juxtaposed below, the ledes from the WaTimes and NYT.

Climate scientists to fight back at skeptics
Undaunted by a rash of scandals over the science underpinning climate
change, top climate researchers are plotting to respond with what one
scientist involved said needs to be "an outlandishly aggressively
partisan approach" to gut the credibility of skeptics.
In private e-mails obtained by The Washington Times, climate scientists
at the National Academy of Sciences say they are tired of "being
treated like political pawns" and need to fight back in kind. Their
strategy includes forming a nonprofit group to organize researchers and
use their donations to challenge critics by running a back-page ad in
the New York Times.

E-Mails Show Scientists Planning Push-Back Against 'McCarthyite' Attacks on Climate Science
U.S. scientists are planning to counter criticisms directed at them
during the "Climategate" scandal and congressional debates, saying
conservatives and industry groups have waged a "McCarthyite" campaign,
according to e-mails exchanged by the researchers.
The e-mails obtained by E&E show the scientists are considering
launching advertising campaigns, widening their public presence,
pushing the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to take a more active
role in explaining climate science and creating a nonprofit to serve as
a voice for the scientific community.
