This MIT guy is a world renowned scientist.
The University of California teaches classes on Global Warming and no doubt it is encouraged and subsidized by the Fed. Gee, a world renowned university that pushes government propaganda, imagine that.
Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged predicted *exactly* this. Literally political science.
Amazingly prescient.
“Both Curry and Pielke have been targeted by Grijalva “
Grijalva is a communist, and “reconquista” advocate whose district is 88% hispanic, half of whom are likely illegal immigrants.
Of course, that’s the only way to get a piece of the pie.
It’s interesting to note that those “threats” are coming from congress critters who can barely spell “science” and would fail even the most elementary calculus or physics class.
Hmmmm, come to think of it, this perhaps applies to the vast majority of the “climate researchers” since we have ample examples of their 1) cheating on data, 2) inability to correctly analyze data and data triends, 3) inability to correctly assemble a model that actually has any chance of forecasting future climate/temperature, etc, and 4) inability to do anything with their research save bend over and play “mama” to Dorkbama’s gubmit grants. Really, what else could these clowns do?
Oh, forgot, there’s always the last chance employment bureau...otherwise known as “congress”.
The science is settled, remember. I am so glad to see a little rumbling in this area - a little push back, a little finger in the eyeball of our fearful leader who thinks he’s above reproach. Would that D.C. gets cover with snow up to the top of the Washington monument - sometime in May would be nice.
Exactly - science stands or falls on published facts and analysis, so "conflict of interest" is an irrelevant concept dragged in by the scientifically illiterate.
It isn't just the image of climate science being tarnished by "global warming" alarmism. Other fields of science are being damaged, as well.
I have attended sessions at American Society of Microbiology conferences, and seen speaker after speaker talk about a real problem (for instance, food poisoning), and finish the talk by opining that the problem exists "because of global warming." No, it doesn't. But by being able to blame everything on global warming, they don't have to try to determine what is causing the problem. Every time a paper is published that contains the phrase, "because of global warming", it weakens science. Such papers might contain actual hypotheses but throw that phrase in because of a belief that including it might increase the chance to get grant moneys. Unfortunately, many global warming alarmists love to point at a large volume of papers about "global warming" and say that thousands of papers prove that it is real. However, no number of papers blaming whatever observation they describe on "global warming" actually establishes anything about global climate.
Heavenly Father,
Please bring an early spring to those areas of the country which grow crops.
We as that You show your Mighty Glory by giving the people in Washington and Boston a repeat of the weather of 816, the year of no summer. We beseech You to make it snow every third day in those cities to show Your Majesty and to prevent those in our nation’s capital from doing further damage to the great nation You have bestowed on us.
We ask this in the name of Your Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ, Who together with the Holy Spirit You reign in glory.
Amen.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, 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. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present -- and is gravely to be regarded.Eisenhower hit dead center with that warning.Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
True. The recent “climate change” is all natural and happens periodically, but the sponsored big media folks have been fomenting much hysteria with their end-of-the-world themes. The sponsors have been repeatedly blaming struggling segments of the population and speaking implications in favor of genocide.
It’s simple,... Be willing to say that there is ‘global warming’ and the government will give you a grant.
see how that works?
