follow the money Dr. Duane Thresher, a climate scientist with a PhD from Columbia University and NASA GISS, has pointed to “publication and funding bias” as a key to understanding how scientific consensus can be manipulated.

Although scientists are held up as models of independent thinkers and unbiased seekers of truth, the reality is that they depend on funding even more than other professions, since much of their research has no market value. Thus, they will study what they are funded to study.

No amount of money is going to fix or change climate.

The AGW-crowd need wisdom but of course that will never happen.

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."

The look on Koan's face when he realized he lacked wisdom.

Climate Change Skeptics Welcome Open Debate Under Trump Presidency
Nodey, I've asked this question several times over the last two weeks......why have the conservatives made science, ie climate change, a political issue. What political issue does it fall under??? Where are the political experiments being done? Where is the political data being gathered? I would guess 95% of conservatives fall mindlessly in lock step with the deniers.

What kind of debate would you propose....someone faked the data??
