Atmospheric Chemist Roger L. Tanner: “I have very little in common with the philosophy of the Heartland Institute and other ‘free-market fanatics,’ and I consider myself a progressive Democrat. Nevertheless, we scientists should know better than to propound scientific truth by consensus and to excoriate skeptics with purple prose.”

This is one of the most honest statements I have read in a long time. It gives me hope that our society is not lost.

Too true, but then Science should never be political. It should stand on its own entirely separate.
