Scientists Are Calling for NY Times Boycott Over Op-Ed by ‘Climate Change Denier’
The Wrap via SFGATE ^ | 04/28/2017 | Carli Velocci

Multiple scientists and climate change advocates are calling for a boycott of The New York Times after an op-ed that they felt pushed anti-climate change agendas. The Friday column, the first written by Bret Stephens for the publication, uses the argument that data doesn’t always convey reality to make the point that climate change isn’t definite, despite evidence that supports the claim. He refers partially to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run, chronicled in the recent book “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign.” Authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes wrote that the campaign relied too much on data, one of the many things that led to its downfall.

soooo these ‘scientists really are afraid of counterviews and opinions and facts then huh? What? The scientist’s work can’t defend itself? Their work needs to be protected by shutting down any dissenting voices?

Is that how science works now?

“Multiple scientist “ To them, that means it is a consensus.

What’s even more delicious about this brouhaha is that Bret Stephens, the author of the NYTimes editorial, just recently left the WSJ editorial page where he was far and away the most critical person of President Trump (before and especially after the election, certain we’d elected a budding despot).

Now he claims the hate mail he’s getting from the NYTimes readers is even worse than what he was getting from WSJ readers when he was writing about Trump. And that on a middle-of-the-road article, to boot.

Well, at least he’s making a name for himself.

At one time the consensus of scientist believed the Earth was flat; the sun revolved around the Earth; and those who refused to tote the line were told to shut up, were imprisoned, or worse.

So Science hasn’t really evolved that much after all.

Crazy thing is, Bret Stephens didn't even "dispute" anthropogenic climate change. He practically stipulated it from the outset. He just said other hypotheses can still be considered, questions can still be raised, and spurious "certainty" should be rejected.

For this, he´s a planet-destroying, hurricane-causing, puppy-crushing fascist.

Consensus Clubhouse. Please check your brain at the door. You won´t be needing it.

Research money funding streams, honesty and egos all threatened and must be defended to the death... of everyone else.
