You're a respected scientist, one of the best in your field. So
respected, in fact, that when the United Nations decided to study the
relationship between hurricanes and global warming for the largest
scientific endeavour in its history -- its International Panel on
Climate Change -- it called upon you and your expertise.
a largish snip

The trouble with global warming is nobody knows. And if somebody knew,
there's nothing they could do about it anyway. It's just a way to sell books,
magazines, movies, and television shows. There's so many really really dumb
people around like Nora who actually believe it when people say you global
warming's responsible for making big blocks of ice falling outta the sky.
When so many people are so dumb they can't figure out how stupid it is
to say global warming's making ice fall outta the sky then it's pretty pitiful.
Mind-numbed robots.....
