Ben Simonton sayeth:
> On the specific hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming, I found no science to support it. What I found was that scientific methods had not been used. By this I mean that an hypothesis had not been first subjected to tests to disprove it and if disproved then rejected and a new hypothesis made. In fact, no attempts to disprove it had been made. In addition, when scientists find an hypothesis they can't disprove, they then go about trying to prove it. If they manage to do that, they publish all of their data and findings so that other scientists can confirm their findings and determine its flaws. Everyone in that particular area of science freely shares what they learn. From all this, science proceeds. In the case of the purveyors of anthropogenic global warming, none of this had been done. In fact, the purveyors openly refused to make public all of their data, only their findings and selected data.
> Why, I asked, would any respectable scientist show such disrespect for scientific methods that have proven valuable for centuries?
> What I found was that the purveyors of this science were not in fact real scientists but pseudo-scientists with an agenda, in most cases a political agenda. Only then did I understand the true nature of what they were doing, trying to get us to believe a hoax.
Ditto. Ditto. Ditto. And, ditto.
The "human caused global warming" hysteria is an egregious departure from the principles and practices of the authentic scientific method.
It has grievously demeaned and debased the practice of science.
There are a lot of partisan "scientists" who have a lot of 'splainen to do.
