Science polices itself, but it does suffer from too much group think and not enough scientific testing which results in slowing down scientific progress and the embrace of invalid hypotheses. Too often new scientific ideas have to wait an entire generation before they will be adequately investigated and adopted.

We've seen with global warming the political influence on science. And the willingness of too many scientists to get on board and promote global warming without criticallly examining the data.

Sadly, yes. Science will follow the money, especially when it is impossible to gauge the results (unlike, say Cold Fusion, which has to demonstrably work).

AGW is a very very new field of study and defies any and all scientific fundamentals — it meets exactly zero of the criteria of a Scientific Theory.

The tiny but growing AGW corner of “science” is like the tiny corner of business that is made up of government-subsidized “green” businesses.

I assure you AGW is an embarrassment to real scientists everywhere, especially since it gets thrown in the face of those who do pursue real science.
