It depends on who gives the grant for what investigative study and who would benefit as to what the results are.
We live in a technological society powered by science, undergirded by the scientific method. Its benefits are obvious and everywhere ... except when it bumps up against one cherished belief or the other, then science is a big scam. Funny how that works.
The media, you say?
Regularly exposing everyone's biases except for scientists, you say?
Color me skeptical.
The scientific method has been replace by the funding method.
Bookmark for my college son.
What took you so long? LOL
Global warming, like evolution, is a fact.
But the rate of it is so slow as to be inconsequential, and in fact, may be preventing the next ice age. To trash our economies in reaction to it would be idiotic.
So what’s the problem? You obviously agree that there is political bias in science...
My comment had to do more with the creationist thrust of the article than politics.
You were expecting objectivity?
This is how Objectivity works with the Global Warming “alarmist” group of Scientists.
*We know that the earth is getting hot! Oh soooo very hot!
*We will do only research to prove this
*We will make up shit to prove us right and discount any and all evidence to the contrary.
*We will exploit the ignorance of the population.
I consider “War Before Civilization” a must read for every educated person.
...no challenge is permitted and anyone willing to consider counterevidence is demonized as a "creationist."Yes, those who demonize with the creationist label do so because it bumps up against one cherished belief or the other. I see where you were going there...
Well, although the Church was blamed for Galileo’s treatment, the fact is that the Churchmen were moved more by their scientific biases than by their dogmatic ones. All were Aristoteleans, who simply could not accept Galileo’s view that mathematical models provide a true as opposed to a hypothetical description of reality. It took a hundred years before the Church came around to the right view, by which time, by which time, however, many scientists, and more publicists, had come around to the claim that only mathematics provided a true description of reality. If there is anyone who is more vain and inclined to bigotry than a theologian, it is probably a philosopher with this view of science.
We are born with the capacity for good choices or not — and it’s all up to the individual’s choice — not “the system.”
Climate Change is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated in the name of science. The purpose is to provide a global tax to fund world government Scientists all over the world have corrupted their results in order to support this criminal activity. For the most part, they are government grant recipients: NASA, NOAA, and the EPA. It’s disgraceful and they have severely damaged the credibility of the entire profession.
