I’ll celebrate only when I see some evidence that the collapse is exhibiting itself in political decisions by those who rule us.

there is no question it was intentional fraud.- - - - -

And the fraud was mostly for the purpose of getting large grants from the government and from private foundations. That’s theft by false pretenses. Submitting for a grant using data that was known to be fraudulent should be enough reason for law enforcement to prosecute.

The fact that most of the money involved came from our tax dollars should require that prosecution.

Peer-review. Where have I heard that term before... Oh yeah, the evo threads!

[Lancey Howard]

I would believe an astrologer or an alchemist before I believed a “climate scientist”.

First, how are you going to argue that credentialed scientists writing in peer reviewed journals are stupid?

To quote Pastor Brian Richardson:

"Sin makes people stupid."

Perhaps foolish may have been a better word.

Corrupt hearts shun truth, and shunning truth makes for stupid action. And even Forest Gump knows that: "Stupid is as stupid does".

I think public humiliation is enough punishment for the foot soldiers, but since Bernie Madoff got his jail sentence, I don’t see how the ringleaders should fare any better.

Only if they have broken a law. I'm not saying they have or haven't, I'm just concerned with inference that someone should be jailed for having a stupid opinion.

Its not so much the laws they're breaking; its more the laws they're making. Binding treaties, local, national and international laws are being made based on their fraudulent "opinions". There should be consequences or at least some kind of check on this type of thing.
