"We didn’t choose to be in this battle, but it has come to the point where we have to fight because the stakes are too great,” said climate scientist Michael Mann"
Mann is the author of the infamous "hockey stick graph" extrapolation.
It's brand of logic has elements of the following: I saw a redhead on the bus the day before yesterday, I saw 2 redheads on the bus yesterday.  Today I saw 4.  Eight days from now we will see 1024 redheads on the bus.

Implying that anyone who disagrees with your "science" is attacking all sciences is being dishonest.
These are the people we need to fear.
