You are also mistaken about NSIDC. It is not the Univ. of Colo., which I assume was just a typo. It is not even an academic dept. there. It is part of NOAA and NASA and is lodged on the CU campus, where a plentiful supply of worker bees (graduate students and post-docs) can be found.

Now, lets try and stay on on topic.
I was simply showing you how much fun it is to play discredit the message by attacking the messenger.

Academic research depends on getting grants. I imagine that it's easier to obtain a grant that supports "global warming" than it is to obtain one that challenges it. Which is why skeptics depend on funding from the private sector. And that research is discredited here because it's "paid for by big oil".
