“What they aren’t is real scientists...”

This is reminiscent of the sports journalists and the Rush and Donovan McNabb episode.

If you recall Rush made the observation that so many of the sports reporters were so “desirous” (as Rush put it) to see a black quarterback (McNabb) succeed that they overlooked all his weaknesses as a quarterback and the fact that he was mediocre at best.

The reason those journalists acted that way is because they wanted a specific aspect of their world view (i.e. blacks are as “smart” as whites) validated and so they selectively (or even made up) evidence that would bolster their view.

The same is happening with “global warming” (and many other areas as well). So many people, including so called scientists, have been so brainwashed (by environazis) in believing that man is the scourge of the planet, that they are very “desirous” to prove that. And will selectively pick or fabricate any data or argument to bolster that view.

It goes to show how potent our belief systems are.
