Science or Politics?
Tech Central Station published a piece this past week that is critical of the most recent artcile in "Science" supportive of global warming. Dr. Pat Michaels demonstrates two really important things.
- Agenda really does play a large role in how data is viewed and analyzed, and
- If you don't adhere to the agenda, funding and publication are hard to obtain.
Bill's Comments points out that this may have very bad tidings indeed for the future of science in America. (HT: Amy Ridenour's National Center Blog)
I have had the opinion for years that the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) who publishes Science, has been more atune to political correctness than scientific "truth". Here we have in no uncertain terms the demonstration that it is so. Not only are the editors corrupt but so are the reviewers.Bill, thank you for explaining why, despite my inestimable eligibility and repeated invitations, I have never joined AAAS.
