There is a danger in assuming that this community will always have the goal of objectivity. I’m skeptical about the details of the UN ICC report on climate change. Having a super computer is not the only prerequisite to tell me what is going to happen to the environment.
“Get your objective evidence recognised by peer reviewed scientific journals which shouldn’t be a problem if your opinion is based on something more substantial than biased supposition.”
Of course, all it takes is a good idea to publish in a peer review journal. About 90% of all articles submitted to such journals never make it to publication. There is plenty of room for politicing in the marginal calls.

I'm not certain I would do differently than those CEO's were I in there situation. I've never been in such a situation. But inspired boat making is a protection against such behavior.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetYES! That is what I have been trying to articulate. Questions easily incorporate new information. But when you are invested in an answer all you can do is try to ignore contradictory information. ‘Splains so much.

The defense against this is in the law; it _expands_ to fill, but doesn’t contract to fit.

That leaves open two questions, is there warming? and what gases are causing it.
What are these simple experiments you write of?
