An inconvenient truth

Flint · 10-14-2006, 06:08 PM

Somebody commented on climate researchers having an agenda, and I pointed out that those who want to discredit climate research may have an even bigger agenda, IE business interests which benefit by maintaining the status quo. By way of example, the same way that some creationists hope to maintain their own status quo, IE strict Biblical interpretation, and subsequently attempt to discredit evolution research by exaggerating the disagreements among some researchers, or by focusing on the things that are not yet fully understood. Sound familiar?

Let me spell it out for you: my comment was that there appears to be a parallel, in methods, among those who attempt to discredit a branch of science which threatens their particular status quo. I felt this was worthy of comment, in this thread. If you feel this is unworthy of comment, then don't comment on it. Just move on and keep your childish jabs to yourself.
