Don't know if that was a rhetorical question or not, but what I think needs to be done is that upon the publishing of a paper the authors must make all raw data, processed data, and computer code used to generate the results available to the public via the internet.
In this day and age, if a scientist can't do that, they don't have a product that suitable for publication in a press release, let alone in a major journal or to be used as a guide for policy makers.
Not all of us are "scientifically illiterate". We have all been LIED TO and dumbed down for at least a generation. Our corrupt DOUCHE BAG leaders like fucking Al Gore pumping us full of half truths and outright lies. Great video. Happy Holidays to all and LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC.
Yes, "An Inconvenient Truth" is a bad documentary, and Al Gore is having the worst public relations nightmare since "I invented the internet." Even though I don't agree with flag-waving in place of good arguments, I do hope you have a Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays.
dropkicktype.....I saved my flag waving till the end and thought I stated my opinion fairly well. I don't feel as though I "waved" in place of a good argument. Happy Holidays to you as well. oh yes and LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC
Sorry, you're right, I was unfair. Youtube doesn't make it convenient to discuss our disagreements in full, but I should have given the reasoned response your comment deserves:
The public's lack of access to the raw data from the researchers at East Anglia is very troubling to me. The researchers should be held up to a higher standard, in which all of their data is available to anybody on the internet, even if it is at considerable inconvenience to themselves.
MagicJavaTV, IMO, correctly points out that this is doubly true when the data and its interpretation is used to make policy decisions that affect everybody.
What's also disturbing to me, however, is that even if the data were freely available, it wouldn't help most people in figuring out what's going on in this debate.I don't think saying that not ALL Americans are scientifically illiterate
changes the fact that Americans score badly compared to other industrialized nations on questionnaires that test basic scientific knowledge. Furthermore, the inability of many credible news agencies and people commenting on youtube to do the research on why the e-mails, when read in context, do not suggest the kind of forgery of data that everyone is accusing them of, is disturbing.

researchers did, then they deserve every last bit of public flogging they are going through right now)--it's about whether our way of life as it is is sustainable into the foreseeable future. As for flag-waving, I will do it as much as the next person when we have something right now to be proud of--like if we were to successfully respond to the considerable challenges that are facing our nation right now.
Understood dropkicktype! Well put. Nice to run into someone who is capable of an open dialog on this subject and not a climate nazi!

YES we all need to work on sustainability and get away from fossil fuels! I do also concede that most of our countrymen are CHALLENGED when it comes to this and MANY subjects but we cant give up on them yet!! PEACE
The GW-Hoax-Balloon goes down in flames.
Hah!
Good one.
Those are some great Responses to that article...and spot on!
It's like we are living back in the days of the 'Royal Scientific Societies' when scientists were mere toadies to their patrons.
Scientists should make their raw data OPEN to all who wish to review it!
If they don't....then they are nothing more than political pawns, letting themselves be used to manufacture propaganda!

This is a noble sentiment, but I think it's not going to do a lot of good for a scientifically illiterate American public.
