Bottom line - politics and science do not mix.Come to think of it, politics and religion do not mix either. My dad is a senior science academic, he confirms that those who do not tow the official global warming line lose their funding. This amounts to career suicide for an academic- the pollies (those that hand out the grants that are the lifeblood of academia) are pulling the strings. The "science" is biased and therefore not truly scientific. There has to be something fishy when the climatolagists that are beating the AGW drum refuse to share their models and data with other scientists. True science does not just come to a conclusion and then make the data support the hypothesis, it is supposed to be open to scrutiny of the methodology/data to see if the hypothesis holds water. The other thing I find even fishier is that airing the plus side of higher CO2 and warming temperatures are suppressed - branded heresy. This blatant censorship is leading to a one sided arguement. If the AGW brigade were fair dinkum, they would allow freedom of speech to prevail over their current vile censorship ................or do they have something to hide
The cocktail of politics being able to meddle in science is decidedly fishy in taste. I prefer my prawn cocktails to be with cooked prawns-sick of being given the raw prawn.
