...Thinking of Al Gore and the global warming hoax, for example. Stalin would have been so proud of him: Frighten the sheeple with the WEATHER!
If a scientist wants to get funding to scientifically study something he must not conclude anything that challenges the religious beliefs of the socialists. Global warming is the new God of the left.
It's a byproduct of the government grant system, which has been financing most university research since WW2. If you want to be a professor, you need to be able to finance yourself by bringing in research grants. If you want research grants, your results must not be upsetting to the people who gave you your money
There are enough believers, that PC will eventually be overcome by common sense. Just now the noisy, vocal, minority who thinks they have us surrounded is just feeling their oats.
My wife has fond memories of down under. One of her more adventurous trips. I choose not to go because as a retired professional pilot, I knew how long it took to get there.
Some might say, who cares how long it takes to find paradise, but speaking of the USSR, your governments actions against gun owners a few years back, reminded us of the same thing.
You are hearing what the Leftists who control the media in the US want you to hear. There is a very strong community of real scientists who are not politicized, and they are as many if not greater in number than the politico-scientists.
An example of this is that of global warming. This socio-political idea was allowed to germinate and grow because few scientists thought that it was little more than a feel-good pet project of the liberals. America is very tolerant of these ideas. When it gained enough strength to affect legislation, however, the forces of real scientists started arguing back. At present there is a much stronger scientific argument against manmade global warming than for it — so much so that for the ecochondriacs and ecocommies it has now moved out of the realm of scientific debate and become little more than a theological debate with the ‘believers’ (pseudo-scientists) calling the non-beleivers (scientists) ‘heretics.’
