Because the Dems took over in 1961?
This is why the outcome of the research can often be predicted by the adage "Follow the Money". The science of Global Warming isn't science. It's an economic con game. I guess the author is suggesting that Conservatives try to use science to demonstrate that some science is wrong, but if it's all shades of gray, then that strategy is a little naive.
Politics is not particularly suited to mathematical explanation. Physics probably isn’t either, but it’s all we have.
“A much larger proportion of scientists self-identify as liberal than conservative, so when scientific questions of integrated complexity impinge on important political questions, the opportunities for unconscious bias are pretty obvious.”
And this is why we question their conclusions. Their bias shows itself every time, hence we disbelieve them and charactarize it as junk science. If they stuck to facts and didn’t bias it with political agendas it would certainly make it more palitable.
Student-Veterans Come Marching Home: A New GI Bill for Scientists
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Not. If there's no physical data, then it ain't science. And that applies ESPECIALLY to "global warming", which is "science" promulgated by cherry-picked data, bad models, and much other pathological science. By comparison, "cold fusion" is MUCH better validated.
In any case, the war is against Junk-science not science. Junk-science is the brand of science that liberals always use as a weapon to advance their looney notions.
The study the author cites as documentation that more Scientists self-identify as liberal than conservative is based upon a poll of University Professors in the Science departments.
Polls that show that most U.S. Scientists are people of faith also is based on interviews of “Scientists” who are University Professors in the Science department.
I know most of these studies are out of Universities, but do these ivory tower pinheads think that the only place Science takes place is in a University Science department?
I forgot with the site being down for so long:
CORAM, MT. SINAI, PORT JEFFERSON STATION (CMP) FOLLOW-UP INVESTIGATION pdf link from the NY State Dept. of Health
BREAST CANCER RISK FACTORS with references starts on page 25.
“The importance of reproductive factors in affecting breast cancer risk has been known for a long time. Women who have never given birth (or had a full-term pregnancy) are at a higher risk for breast cancer compared to women who have carried a pregnancy to term.”(Page 26)
Apparently this dude is unaware of what feminists do to suppress science they dont like. I doubt the GOP could come close.
I read the story long before I posted it, so I forgot I had material to post with it. I have a NY government reference to “the purported abortion–breast cancer linkage,” in comment# 11.
I would like to point out that the oxymoron “scientific socialism” was created by Engels and Marx to tout their decidedly unscientific philosophy.
Even then, they were trying to steal the credibility of science for their wacky and evil notions. Especially in the early days of the Soviet Union, there was continual propaganda that anything and everything they did was because it was “scientific”.
When scientists either didn’t know or disagreed with their vicious philosophy, often they were killed, and scientific frauds like Trofim Lysenko were elevated in their place.
James E. Hansen at NASA has continued in the tradition of Lysenko, by gleefully altering data to conform with whatever theory justified government control over society, be it cooling or warming.
Because unlike the right, which looks to science and technology to improve our lives, the left looks to science as a way to justify their prejudices and give them power over others. They just plain don’t like technology, as it empowers people, making them less slavish and dependent.

Thanks neverdem.

Conservatives more honest than liberals?
(Relatively speaking, well, er, yes.)
