Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present -- and is gravely to be regarded.Eisenhower hit dead center with that warning.Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
FYI
As it should. People are waking up to the fact that academia in general is fraudulent.
People still respect technology though, because they directly see that it works.
Good article. Hope this guy has non-government sources of revenue. And bodyguards. /not kidding
Very good
Thanks for posting this.
‘Science’ determined by politics is being combined with ‘scientists’ determined by political correctness and affirmative action to yield a new Dark Ages.
Dr. Roy Spencer, from here:
And what about those 97% of scientists who agree? Well, what they all agree on is that if their government climate funding goes away, their careers will end.
Bookmark. And Thanks.
Their entire premise is based upon a falsehood. If you increase the humidity of the atmosphere, while maintaining a constant energy input, the temperature maximum of the atmosphere must fall. That is why temperature extremes on planets with thin atmospheres are so great. The thicker the atmosphere the less extreme are the temperatures. Analyzing heat content of course brings actual physics into climate science and they certainly wont do that.
Awesome article. Best article regarding anthropomorphic global warming I ever read.
If I could make every liberal read this article with an open mind, I would.
Sadly, this article will only be used to preach to the choir. No liberal will get beyond the initial paragraphs suggesting reason in the discussion. They are religiously wedded to a need to believe that Mother Gaia is in her death throes due to evil man overheating the world with his evil nasty cars and CO2 production.
I can’t wait until this hoax is widely excepted as false among all but the most inbred of commie lib tree hugging whack jobs. But change is really slow. We need a lot of colder weather before the liberal masses accept they have been lied to the entire time and their eyes are not seeing what the liars have been saying. My not even happen in my lifetime.
Frustating.
Awesome article though. GREAT FIND and must reading! I don’t care how long it is. This is an awesome article and a must read.
Global warming hysteria has monetized science and made it EXTREMELY profitable to toe the approved democrat talking points. It is nothing but a marxist power grab. NOTHING MORE. The climate is changing there is not a single thing we can do about it. We can simply change our daily habits and agriculture. If it’s hot, plug in an air conditioner, or like me, work nights. If it’s cold, turn on the heater. The marxist tree huggers act as if we have never faced any adversity before.
I live to confront the liberals in my acquaintance with the following question:
“Excuse me, but how does the science you refer to completely rule out solar activity, as it must, to conclude that carbon dioxide is the sole culprit?”
“Because the scientists say it’s carbon dioxide.”
“You mean the scientists who have been caught defrauding the data used to come to this conclusion?”
“There are many others.”
“Who?”
“Al Gore”.
“Don’t satellite data from recent decades invalidate the models used to come to such a conclusion?”
“Wha....???” You’re a troglodyte”
Because there hasn't been much change in human nature. It can still be as irrational and blind to fact and reason as ever (especially when self-interest is at stake). And that goes double for the most indoctrinated people in society (our academic and social elites).
That's the big lesson for me in all this (beyond the scientific aspect).
I share your regard for the excellence of the article.
That's right, over the last 165 years,
temperatures are up around a degree
(0.75°C/1.35°F). That's all it is.
Excellent post!
Not a bad article but, he is a “lukewarmer” and believes man contributes some to GW. I don’t believe we have any influence on the climate. From what I’ve read of the 400 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere man contributes 4% of that or 16 molecules out of 1,000,000. I’ll go out on a limb and say that that amount has no influence on the climate, especially that the absorption spectragraphy for CO2 shows it to have three small spikes in the infrared end of the spectrum accounting for 8% absorption or 92% of the heat passes right through (http://www.middlebury.net/op-ed/global-warming-01.html). But I’m glad more people are shining light on this fraud. I can only hope that more in the media will begin to question the warmists claims.
