The Problem With The Marriage of Science and Government

I've been reading S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery's 2008 updated version of "Unstoppable Global Warming" as part of my general familiarization with the data on all the global warming and climate change nonsense that we keep getting hammered about by the technically uninformed.  If you want one book that lays it out there for you, this is likely the one you're looking for.

Not only does it provide lots of data about the facts about climate change (trust me, they bear little to no relationship with the nonsense in the papers or on the internet from the usual suspects).  The climate has been much warmer in the past with no threat to life and CO2 is decidedly not the climate driver you've all be told it is.

But what I find deeply troubling is the evidence they present in the book of bought and paid for distortion of the science to serve the political class.  There is so much money involved now in climate research that it seems very likely that the data is being distorted and lied about to keep the money flowing.  This is clearly a problem whenever government or frankly any large organization becomes a funding source for what is supposed to be objective science.  The servant always wants to please the master.  Unfortunately that means that you can't trust the bought and paid for science that government is trumpeting as a support for onerous controls and punishing taxes and shutting down whole industries based on incomplete science and often enough on sheer fabrications.

Check out THIS for some of the manipulation of the truth.  ARTICLE
