Columbia, hotbed of radical Marxists and socialists out to change the world at any cost. You just crucified Hansen by removing any remaining credibility he might have had. Google "cloward-piven"

Not only is the appeal to authority argument a stupid one, but it is absurd to claim that a genocidal nutjob like Hansen, who does science by begging congress to outlaw anyone speaking against him, is an "authority" is, if not a joke, criminally stupid. Hansen contaminates any organization that accepts him.

Not only is the appeal to authority argument a stupid one, For a scientist it is standard procedure to look up a person's CV. Potential employers do it all the time. How would you hire a new person? While I was chairman of a chemistry department in the US we had an active hiring campaign for new faculty for several years. How is hiring done? One advertises the opening. Usually we choose Chemical and Engineering News, each week positions are advertised. But promising candidates rarely (never) pop up out of the blue. But it is the law. What does one really do? One picks up the phone and calls around the country to the best people in the area one is recruiting in, asking if they know of promising young candidates. One gets names and invites them to submit letters of recommendation. For one position I personally had to filter through over 1000 no-win candidates, mostly responses to the advertisement. Invitations to come for an interview were rare, only a half dozen and only those who were found by through the "old boy network". The people hired were from high ranking schools, departments having worked for important people. It was partly a buyers market, we controlled who we got to some extent. But top candidates would get offers from several top schools so in those cases it was a sellers market. New hires came from the top 10 schools, Harvard, Caltech, MIT, UC Berkeley, Columbia etc. Hiring senior faculty is a seller's market. Getting a good person to move from an existing institution requires offering off-scale salaries, money to build a lab, low teaching loads, etc. As a senior candidate, Hansen would be expensive.
