It’s not only unproven, IT’S NOT SCIENCE. It’s another scam like those emails from the African scam artists.

When your ‘god’ is the State, why anything is possible.

“Facts? We don’t need no stinkin’ facts!”

Think tanks are usually run by ideologues. A think tank’s primary function is to ask other people for money. Anyone who undermines/offends your donor base has to go.

Well it is science, financial science with a formula: Lie to people + pass mandates = you get to steal their money.

Many people have gone into science with the intention of promoting their world view. This is against the nature of science, which is to search for the unbiased truth.

Because of course science has nothing to do with raising questions and testing hypotheses, even consensus positions. How horrible of Galileo or Newton or Einstein to have questioned the scientific consensus of their day. The way that any questions are silenced shows me that this is not about science, but politics, ideology, even an environmentalist religion. And why should we believe that all scientists are pure as the driven snow and not possibly susceptible to ideological or other corruption?

I used to have a very high opinion of science in general when growing up.

Not any more. The terrible politicization of it by the left is destroying it.

But, but, but. Doesn’t the prof have tenure? Ain’t this a sad state of affairs. Someone speaks the truth, gets called a heretic, gets removed from the position and vilified. Yet there are other profs who do more heinous things and they can’t be gotten rid of come hell or high water. (not that I’m advocating any flooding.)

“Think Tanks” never are. They are political action committees.

well he does describe the only way i’ve ever seen change come to the leftist mind: force it to find out the truth for itself. i guess that’s the value of a really good teacher.

This whole affair is chilling. It reminds me of how Galileo was treated. It's an outright rejection of the Scientific Method.

Read Dr. Tim Ball's new book, "The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science." Anyone who still believes in Al Gore Warming after absorbing those facts is either a fool or a zealot.

Yes. Same could be said for media.

There is truth and untruth. Everything we are up against is untruth.

“Unfortunately, we now feel that your views on key issues, including climate science, climate justice, and many aspects of US policy to Africa, diverge so significantly from ours,” their note to Rossiter stated.


So what the hell is “Climate Justice?”

“I always really push them to evaluate, dig down and learn the arguments of the other side- that is part of education.”

This is what all teachers should do. This is what all students should do. Unfortnunately, the left does not want people to think for themselves.
