Steve shows us the set-up for the upcoming CNN/YouTube Climate Debate from Copenhagen which will be live-streamed at 8 AM ET at www.youtube.com/cop15 on Dec. 15
It is quite clear that scientists who get funding from governments sing the tune picked by these governments. Falsifying data to meet government pre-approved 'conclusions' and all that...
And, this is where honesty comes in, since any scientists knows that all his peers will be more than happy to prove him wrong (because then they would have made a discovery, and that is the negation of your claim, or because you would not have beaten them to a solution or discovery), a scientists should be really, really honest and careful in formulating a theory or hypothesis. Therefore, although a mere consensus of morons is worth nothing, a scientific consensus is worth billions.
True, true. But remember, I said "scientific consensus", not mere consensus. These two are oceans apart. Note that two of the cardinal virtues of science are skepticism and competition. A third cardinal virtue is honesty. These are cardinal virtues in science because, to be a scientist, one must take what everybody says with a grain of salt, one must always look for flaws in another person's arguments or findings and one must be happy in carefully proving another person wrong.
These so-called skeptics don't know anything about the scientific peer-review system and the difficulty of making and maintaining a good reputation in the global scientific community. I think we have the media and the educational system to thank for that.
