I don't think the scientific community has any idea how much damage the parade of junk science theories has done to their credibility, from Paul Ehrlich and Rachel Carson right on through to Global Warming, which IMHO will be the most embarrassing when it implodes.

They want to blame their troubles on religious conservatives, when if they want to get to the heart of the problem, they should be looking at themselves.

I wasn’t going to bring up the religion end of things. It’s a pretty touchy subject with some value on both sides IMO. I do agree this global warming thing is devistating to their credibility though.

In reality it’s not really a scientific theory to a certain extent. I think they know they are exploiting it for political gain. It’s more a wedge issue than anything.

It’s gotten so that I can hardly watch any scientific presentation on television. They weasle in the global warming thing and the idea that nature is going to disintigrate tomorrow over and over. It’s actually rather comical, but I do tire of it. “Oh brother, here we go again.” It’s just so lame.

The ozone hole is another. When it expands a bit they bitch and moan and when it closes up a bit they remain silent until the next expansion. Don’t they think people catch on to this?

Take care. Thanks for the comments.
