That's political skullduggery, not falsifying data.
- dejb 17y agoAgreed. But I think the political skulduggery based on your position regarding the data is also concerning. If you define the enemy as someone with an opposing viewpoint you are obviously not in a position to properly consider that viewpoint. I'm not a sceptic but this sort of attitude does open up the possibility in my mind that the scientific consensus in climate change could in part be an artefact of this political skulduggery.

Although the few I read did feel a bit, well, distasteful. The scientific nature in me didn't approve of the language being used - however I dont think it is in the least bit unique)

- ams6110 17y agoIf you think there's no politics in science, I have to ask if you have any familiarity with it. University research, for example, is CHOCK FULL of politics.
- ErrantX 17y agooh yes I realise that - it's still not a good thing (which is what I was commenting on).
- efaith 17y agoIndeed, but it imperils one of the major points made against the skeptics and vindicates one of the major points made by the skeptics.
