The climate science field, as represented by Michael Mann and Rajendra Pachauri, is in tatters this August as renowned experts weighed in on the current climate science techniques of the Climategate scientist and the process by which the current IPCC management reports the climate science findings.
It's fairly obvious at this point that if climate science is to regain the public's trust, these two individuals need to be removed from the public face of climate science as soon as possible. The damage they've done has become cancerous and is spreading, which means these twin tumors need to be excised soon, without pity.
