Well, in academia, there is a whole movement to discredit the very “scientific method” because it is “Judeo-Christian/Western” in its origins, and thus is biased against non-westerners.
This is why goofball “global warming” can be accepted. They do not establish a hypothesis, then shoot at it from every angle seeking to disprove it-—which would prove it. Rather they assume it is right and only accept results that conform.
Climatology, IMHO, is NOT good physical science, there being so many unknown variables therein that even an educated guess is essentially as worthless as anyone else’s.
