He accused Neders of using "blog science" and gave nothing to explain the assertion. If he'd provided the explanation of what was meant at that time, the subsequent exchange could have been much different.

As for Hansen, he is skirting a dangerous line. I understand his frustration but his calls for greater activism on the part of scientists (2007)* is a decidedly risky approach in that it risks undermining the legitimacy of the data. On one hand I feel the same sense of urgency, but on the other I can see a scenario where the kickback could set us back to where we will never recover.
