How AGW has continued to exist for 6 years or so is a testament to funding formulas, not the scientific method.

I agree absolutely. But AGW has been around longer than that. I recall reading scare stuff about it in the 1980s -- plenty of time for real science to call BS. But "scientific correctness" -- the party line required for funding and job security -- is undermining the true scientific method.

Ditto. Here's another thread highlighting a different abuse of "scientific method". Post #12, by triple G, the man some evo's here, love to hate.

[i swear i didn't notice who the poster of 12 was until i had already decided to post a link, and point to that comment in particular]

I think I can get away with mentioning him without pinging. He'll be around to this thread shortly, I reckon...
