How True!
This picture is a complete summary of the entire global warming fraud.
Their science does not even last 24 hours nowadays.
The Founding States had settled climate issues by not delegating to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate climate issues.
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.
Science settled is Science denied.

There was a time when the world was Flat and the Sun revolved around the Earth.
Yes the science was settled then and they burned people at the stake who had other thoughts.
Money is doing some strange things to science people who should know better.
Global Warming is coming, some call it Summer.....
:-)
FWIW, educated people, and most certainly the Church, haven’t believed the earth to be flat for at least 2500 years now.
For a very long time people did believe the Sun revolved around the spherical Earth, because that’s what the available evidence indicated.
So for point 1, the Church never taught that.
For point 2, AFAIK, nobody was ever burned at the state, for other thoughts. Galileo was subjected to intimidation and lenient house arrest.
True science is never settled. Theories are continuously tested and overturned. If it’s settled, it’s not science.
You forgot these;
“Money is doing some strange things to science people who should know better.
Global Warming is coming, some call it Summer.....
:-)”
I will add: Global Cooling is on its last legs, or as some would call it Winter!!
:-)

Obama wasn’t part of it when this nonsense first started gaining traction. He was still in college, smoking marijuana and plotting the overthrow of Western Civilization.

I am amazed that Ike survived his term....
But then again he was a general who had war experience...
