[Wonder Warthog]

"The whole point of the scientific method is to provide a method whereby confirmation bias can be bypassed and the truth be constantly approximated more closely."

Unless, of course, the "scientific method" has been buggered by bastardizing the peer review process, which is the case with "anthropogenic climate change".

The scientific method is a tool, like mathematics.

You can misuse the SM, just like you can misuse mathematics, but bastardizing the peer review process doesn't affect the value of the process.

You didn't invalidate the process, you just ignored it. Part of the SM process is to point out publicly when this happpens, as has been done in this case.
