What ClimateGate Reveals: Science Is Broken

SEE HERE The problem is evident enough. Not only is the U.N. an inappropriate venue for pushing for climate change, but science is broken and in denial. Science as propaganda is a deeply disturbing, broken, and morally bankrupt process. We see in the ClimateGate revelations the intentional distortion of data to serve a political agenda, we see the intentional attempt to destroy other scientists to prevent them from presenting alternatives, there is the suborning of the peer review process, there is the malicious manipulation of data to disguise and conceal actual findings that disagree with the agenda, we see them trying to avoid releasing their data (scientists always release their data so that it can be checked and confirmed except in cases of national security) and on and on.

The bottom line: Not only has ClimateGate revealed the extent of the dishonesty among the global warming alarmists, but it has revealed a fundamental debasement of the scientific process by political forces seeking to advance an agenda. The left has been claiming that it's big oil or big gas or some other greedy corporate organizations buying scientists, when all along the scientists that were for sale were for sale to governments. Something should be done to reduce the risk of this kind of thing, the buying of scientists to advance government agendas, in the future.

I don't trust anything but data myself. But what we've seen here is scientists intentionally distorting the data. In science that is a serious offense. These guys should all be drummed out of the corps.
