“I have very little respect for much of science”

Thanks for the honesty. Some hate science not because it fails to live up to its own methodology, but because of its own methodology.

The problem with the AGW crowd is they aren’t transparent, they don’t make testable predictions, the replace evidence with consensus, they don’t modify the theory when faced with new evidence (the role of sulfate aerosols, the laspe-rate in the troposphere, etc. etc.)

In contrast, something like the Big Bang theory makes theoretical predictions that have been empirically verified.

Who hates the scientific method?

What people don't like is the abuse of science to gain political and ideological ends.

It's not the science people don't like, as much as many of the scientists.
