Let us hope it is a prolonged and chastening experience. <BR/></I><BR/><BR/>How the mighty have fallen. Well, the UN was never mighty, except in the annals of gaseous dispute and opposition to the US. Reflecting on the Royal Society in particular, the group which long ago added immensely to the sum of accurate human knowlege of science. You know, by repeatable, verifiable physical inquiries into the behavior of materials and organisms and forces, combined with an intense skepticism toward ANY assertion until it was proven beyond a doubt - by scientific methods, NOT political.<BR/><BR/>That Society has now fallen to the position of a religion, or more explicitly, a cult. It has abolished that skepticism, and decreed that global warming is established law, based on majority votes of politicized 'scientists' whose grants would greatly suffer in case said warming were not, in fact, a verifiable trend (by earth's timespans, rather than by the attention span of a TV special). It has pronounced those opposing that decree to be heretics, to be scourged from public discussion.<BR/><BR/>In case some scientists maintain that forbidden skepticism toward Al Gore's pet cause, the Royal Society has recommended that they be stripped of their research grants, for two reasons. One, to divert the grants to the faithful, and two, for fear the heretics might turn up some real evidence that manmade GW is trivial by comparison with natural temperature fluctuations.<BR/><BR/>For instance, like the evidence which <I>The Australian</I> has brought to our attention.Insufficiently Sensitivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285845812788767014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-35133388368156603882008-03-23T10:24:00.000-04:002008-03-23T10:24:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248016116043347912noreply@blogger.com
