Perry calls global warming an unproven, costly theory -'manipulated data' to win research dollars

I like Perry a lot better due to this statement.

Of course the L A Slimes had to put their own lie in

His opinions put him at odds with the vast majority of experts

These is a vast majority that does NOT think globull warming is manmade.

One of my favorite topics!

"The vast majority of experts", or more commonly, "scientists".

First of all, science (at least prior to grants from politicians becoming the principal source of money) is an adversarial process. Majority opinion is often wrong, sometimes amazingly wrong, and the major CREATIVE function of science and scientists is to DISPROVE consensus judgements.

Second, in this particular case, "experts" agree because if they don't, they lose, or don't get, their grants.

Third, the surveys of "scientists", or the petitions and letters signed by "scientists", include a large group of people working in fields unrelated to the subject at hand. The fact that someone has actual expert knowledge about animal phagocytic vacuoles or about the kinetics of metalloprotein complexing is meaningless as a qualifier of their opinion about the atmospheric carbon economy.

The AGW fraud, because of the involvement of politicians and wannabes, is the largest quasi-science fraud in history. If science exists in 100 years, there will be full-semester science classes to study the whole phenomenon.

I have very grave doubts that Perry is The One, but he did good on this issue.
