“Don’t confuse climate science-ish with actual science.”
Since The National Academy of Sciences, The Royal Society, The American Association for the Advancement of Science, Nature, and Scientific American, have all expressed themselves forcefully and dogmatically in favor of bogus climate science, the reputation of science as a whole is now in disrepute.
My condolences to real scientists who still do real scientific work.
If anyone in actual science were caught doing ANY of that it would be termination time, and rightly so.
I am unsure of the argument why this is A-OK in climate science-ish when it would be grounds for termination and intellectual exile in science.
