Plait's Non-Symetric Rules of AGW Science

Plait's First Rule:
It is OK if a person receives millions in funds for research about catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW), if (and only if) he supports the CAGW theory – a person critical about the CAGW theory on the other hand is not allowed to receive money for research about anthropogenic global warming.

Plait's Second Rule:
It is OK if a person writes about CAGW, if (and only if) he supports the CAGW theory – a person critical about the CAGW theory (no matter whether in parts or whole) on the other hand is not allowed to write about CAGW.

Plait's Mother Teresa Rule:
The funds of a person with pro-CAGW views are of no interest – a person critical of the CAGW theory on the other hand must be funded by the devil the oil industry.

Corollary to Plait's Rules:
The proficiency of the person is of no interest: A stupid person can be as loud mouthed about his pro-CAGW views and spread scientific falsehoods as much as he likes, while a CAGW critic is not allowed to state his views even in a civilized manner.
