Well... I guess I would phrase this not so much in terms of 'what would I
like to ask a communist climatologist' but 'what guidance do I expect that
communist climatologists will provide.'

Mainly, I expect that if the climatologists who are in the pay of the
bourgeoisie are producing bad results, predictions, theories, or advice
which are the products of class bias, pressure, bribery, etc., then the
communist climatologists will sound the alarm bell and expose the bourgeois
plots.

I would like them to explain to us the nature of the political struggles
around climatological data and models, translated into plain language.

I would like them to alert us of occasions when the masses can or should get
involved in these struggles, and to help us and the workers and oppressed to
understand theories and data about climate, and their derivation, to the
extent that we can understand the terms and stakes of these struggles.
