“Post Paris you might find your climate scientist no longer required.”

If so then what should they do now?
I suggest we should,

“Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”
[one translation is] ”Let them eat cake”

Trofim Lysenko’s fate is revealing as to the eventual fate of many of today’s Climate pseudoscientists and their editor enablers at once-prestigious journals.. Stalin of course protected Lysenko,, as did Nikita Krushchev. Once Krushchev was gone, 1964, scientists within the Soviet Academy felt secure in coming out to criticize him. Investigations followed and he was fired and his work shown as falsified junk. He died in disgrace in Moscow in 1976.

He died at the age of 78. Stalin died at the age of 74. Both lived well beyond the usual for their day. I would say both did OK. Perhaps Stalin would have lived longer if he hadn’t keep trying to kill Tito … or maybe not.
Russian live expectancy. Did Tito poison Stalin?

I have a different theory. In “Stalin’s Last Crime” the author makes the point that Stalin was preparing to reinstitute the “Terror”. And start WWIII. Anyway, the Terror would have been hazardous to the health of the Soviet leadership. From the symptoms, it is suspected that Khrushchev and Berea fed him Wafrin.

This seems entirely appropos: if climate science is indeed settled, why are we bothering to pay climate scientists anymore at all? Retain those that are able to adapt themselves to “mitigation science” and boot the rest of them out. That seems a whole lot more palatable than paying these charlatans for years to come.

They are a good fit for positions in public relations, psychology, general circulation pseudoscience magazines, advocacy research, “expert” witness peddling, paid community organizer, and paid protester.

So many possibilities of what happens to them.
But, given the self-destructive concepts of one of their main intellectual leaders, Naomi Orestes, we should let them continue of their own free will on their apparently inevitable current path.

Gunga Din: very nice metaphor! WATER (i.e., the fact that it is the only KNOWN-effective “greenhouse gas”) kills AGW. And… the oceans…. which drive surface temperatures.
