Climate change scientist faces lie detector test
2011-10-29
h/t Gates of Vienna
It's the next step in "Polarbeargate" – one of two scientists whose report on dead polar bears in the Arctic helped make the animal a potent symbol of climate change has been asked to take a lie detector test as part of an investigation by US agents.

#3  P@K, nobody is going to ask him whether he believes in AGW (though it might be interesting). They're going to ask him re details of his reported "observations".

#1  A polygraph test only indicates reaction not lies or truths. Tie one of those devices up to a 14th Century bishop and ask him if the world is flat and the center of the universe and you'll get a nominal response. It's what the individual believes, not necessarily 'facts'. Remember you're dealing with some 'true believers' in the venue of MMGW regardless of conflicting/manipulated data.
