With the failure of the Lieberman-Warner global-warming bill in the Senate last Friday, I am reminded of the long and grand tradition the scientific community has had in promoting “bad science.” (It is mere coincidence that the acronym for this term is “BS.”)
While the failure of the carbon cap-and-trade legislation was largely a result of economic concerns over what it would cost the country, its proponents will no doubt return next year with claims that no price is too great to save us from planetary destruction.

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
‘its proponents will no doubt return next year with claims that no price is too great to save us from planetary destruction.’
So how many are gonna have to die for a lie?
This is all about population control. Those electric cars are really subliminal methods of birth control.
Possibly the most prolific purveyor of failed environmental predictions is the MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” recipient, Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich. Beginning in the 1960s, Dr. Ehrlich embarked on a series of premonitions that included dead oceans by 1979, hundreds of thousands of smog deaths in cities, pesticide-related cancers reducing average life expectancy to 42 years by 1980, and such an abuse of pesticides that would cause other countries to launch a nuclear attack on the U.S. out of fear of global poisoning.The press NEVER talks about these failures. EVER.
Since January of 2006 when Al Gore announced we have only ten years left to save ourselves, the globally averaged satellite measured temperature of the lower atmosphere has fallen by one degree Farenheit. Last month was the fifth-coolest month in the 30-year satellite record.I wish I could fit that on a bumper-sticker.
Is there a harmonic resonance here? For world events seem so much like 1938 in oh so many ways.
One of the first uses of “bad science” was Social Darwinism, one of the strongly held beliefs of the Nazis used to justify their genocides. Every time politics is enmeshed with science, the result is a Frankenstein of twisted logic designed to serve an agenda. The “believers” have no idea what real science is, the difference between a hypothesis and a theory, or that consensus has no part in the process. Just stating that global warming isn’t science upsets them, which they’re not likely to if you question relativity theory. Science thrives on skepticism, unlike politics which is what global warming is.
It's a lie and repeating it over and over won't change the fact that it is a lie. Hitler never mention Darwin or Darwinism. Keep lying though. That's what Hitler would do.
If Las Vegas kept a book on the guy's predictions, you could make a mint betting against anything he says.
There’s no shame. He’s got the media on his side. It doesn’t matter what he says, how wrong he is, and how stupid is predictions are. He’s a leftist. That’s all the media needs to know. And they love him.
Of course not.
Because the media was complicit in Ehrlich's scams. They bought into his ludicrous predictions and promoted them incessantly -- as if they were real issues.
Indeed, were it not for the media nobody would've ever heard of the charlatan Dr. Paul Ehrlich.
So, naturally, they're not interested in investigating and revealing his bizarre history.
Posting creationist cr*p isn’t furthering your argument. Find a quote of Hitler saying he based his eugenics on Darwin.
Call it mission accomplished, the ten year plan was completed in two and a half years and there is plunder for all. Just shows what a prepared mind can do.
OR we had nothing to do with it.
Bad Science is coming home to roost this week.
After 25 years of politically correct medical propaganda, the World Health Organization finally admitted there will be no heterosexual AIDS epidemic.
A lot of money went down the toilet, and more than a few people died, because of that error.
A very good article, but I have trouble matching the author’s sangfroid.
Before long, that bumper sticker will have to fit on the back of a dog sled.
