it is sad and disheartening that our once unparalleled scientific community has fallen as they have.

In search of grants and self they have failed to follow elemental scientific standards of proof.

The global warming scam is, perhaps, the most flagrant but this story also points out their lack of professional discipline.

A sample:

Pitzer College Science, Technology, and Society Major: Science, Technology, and Society (STS) is an interdisciplinary field that studies: (1) the conditions under which the production, distribution, and utilization of scientific knowledge and technological systems occur, and (2) the consequences of these activities upon different groups of people.

At Green Mountain College we believe that a liberal arts education ought to respond to the most pressing problems of the times. The effects of a globalizing economy, rapid population growth, changing land use patterns and surging technological development are transforming almost every profession and creating complex social, economic and ecological problems.

The global warming scam and search for extra-terrestrial life are both examples of scientists reaching a conclusion first, based on social exigencies, then using taxpayer funding to prove the claim.

Somewhere I saw polls for how much people respect and/or believe scientists over a span of about 50 years and it dropped dramatically when they started spewing out the AGW nonsense.

I’m sure the “consensus” lie did a lot of damage.
