>>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.
The scientific community too often doesn't investigate new ideas before disputing them. They are quick to ridicule new ideas without even attempting to scientifically prove them false.
And the dogma and "just so" stories that comes out of evolutionist camps is another major embarrassment to real scientists.
