>>You are right. And I totally agree with you - but my point was it doesn't take many bad apples to spoil the barrel.

> Alarmist scientists - if they're not exposed by the majority - will bring down the profession

The same is true of Islamic supremacist rhetoric (imperialist, jihadist, segregationist). Until the "good" speak out against the "bad", the group is tarnished as a whole. Silence can be deafening.

In the case of the Global Warming Scare, there HAVE been scientists who challenged the findings. THOUSANDS of them. They faced blacklisting and ridicule ("flat Earther" and "denier!").

The problem is that those who FAVOR such protectionist social agendas as the Global Climate Control Carbon Credit scam are unwilling to say "we may not need to do this, the numbers don't bear out that any of what is being warned is genuine... it is pure hysteria and we are relieved that the Earth is safe".

I agree with everything you've written here. One of the reason's we "do good" by keeping pressure on Muslims is to provide cover for the good Muslims when they do speak out. Because you're right - if good Muslims don't stand up they'll be painted with the same brush as the jihadist terrorists.... as they should be.
