From the article..it is worth reading and saving
Scientific research should be based on skepticism, on the constant reconsideration of accepted ideas: at least, this is what I learned from my mentor, the ultimate scientific philosopher of our time, Karl Popper. What could lead climate scientists to betray the very essence of their calling? The answer, Curry contends: politics, money, and fame. Scientists are human beings, with human motives; nowadays, public funding, scientific awards, and academic promotions go to the environmentally correct. Among climatologists, Curry explains, a person must not like capitalism or industrial development too much and should favor world government, rather than nations; think differently, and youll find yourself ostracized. Climatology is becoming an increasingly dubious science, serving a political project, she complains. In other words, the policy cart is leading the scientific horse.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex . . Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades. In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
. . . the free university . . . has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity . . . The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money . . . is gravely to be regarded.
Yet . . . we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. Eisenhowers Farewell Address
Excellent quote from the article. Science, in this case climatology, has been corrupted by the Left. Just as how Leftism has corrupted education, the arts, government bureaucracy and everything else that it touches. Leftists believe that their ends (desires) justify any means, and so they don’t place a high value on truth. It is their unlimited ego and resultant thirst for power, status, money and sex that corrupts everything. They think that they are above the law. The law applies only to the “little people.”
