Yes, the manner in which scientists and others are being “influenced” into accepting the AGW position is a perfect example of Lysenkoism.

If you get a chance, take a look at Richard Feynmann’s commencement address at CalTech: Cargo Cult Science

http://www.lhup.edu/~DSIMANEK/cargocul.htm

It’s a great read and gives another perspective on science vs. propoganda.

I will apologize for going off on a slight tangent, but the latest trend in Education has been ‘research’. Funding, Grants, teaching methods and so on are all suppose to be based on ‘research’. Sounds scientific, except no one actually has come out and defined just what the standards for accepting or rejecting the results of the ‘research’ are. Basically, teachers, administrators, school districts and so on must comply with the policies and procedures that are based on so called ‘research’. Again, Lysenko’s policies were based on his own ‘research’.

Thank you for the link.

Check out Post #29 regarding research departments (Perry wants to break them away from education).

Science Journals and their review mechanism have been taken over by global warming promoters. They freeze out dissenting scientific facts, research and articles. They promote consensus and libel opposition as "contrarian" denier science. They're making up facts to fit the warming narrative to give the EPA, IPCC and other Leftist organizations power and control. And their research is lauded and referred to as the latest understanding of science. It's being manufactured in university research think tanks and it's funded with our own tax dollars.
