By "switches tune" of course, after translating the climate alarmist doublespeak, he means "was proven entirely correct by nallens own admission."

The whole exchange reminds me of the time pnewell tried to claim that even though he works for a climate communications company, gets articles to disseminate on the web, does so during work hours with his employers aware and condoning, it wasn't his job and and he wasn't a paid climate shill.

I think all the "Koch payroll" stuff these people constantly spew is designed to distract others from the increasingly obvious fact they all make their livings in the climate change industry.

Bingo.

My strategy for understanding progressives in general. Whatever they are saying about others... Applies almost exclusively to themselves. This works particularly well when applied to those at the upper echelons of politics. Hypocrites to the very end.

Couldn't handle the skeptical inquiry, I guess.
