    What do two climate "science" faculty members at San Jose State U. do when they come across a book skeptical of the AGW orthodoxy? Why, burn it, what else?

    These two "open-minded" "scientists" were so proud of their cute little stunt they posted a photo on the department's web page, until critics noticed it and the embarrassing pic went down the memory hole.

    I think he also did the creatures in about half of the 1950s and late 40s science fiction movies that I'm fond of.
