its all making me think of this:

MIT Climate Scientist: Global Warming Believers a 'Cult'

quote:

ORIGINAL: markyugen

To suggest that all, or even a tiny fraction, of the 10,800+ peer-reviewed scientific papers supporting the idea of man-made global warming were written by incompetents, fraudsters, cultists, and/or politically/financially motivated liars, is laughable in the extreme. Even more laughable is comparing climate change denial to the brave accomplishments of Copernicus. Copernicus was not pitting science against science, he was presenting sound scientific evidence in opposition to a dogmatic religious orthodoxy, which would be comparable to Darwin opposing the religiously-driven creationists of today.

Uh, it certainly does not reduce to newtonian physics, in fact we find places where newtonian physics is dead wrong. Axis change in orbits for example, and gravity.

We know gravity curves space-time, and we simply can prove that by swinging a bucket of water around our center.

You may say it is an extension, a supplanting, a profoundly more accurate model. Everyone stands on the shoulders of giants.

ORIGINAL: markyugen

I'm not a climate scientist, nor is anybody else on here, and therefore I rely on the belief, as should we all, that the majority are objective, well-meaning, honest people making a sincere effort to better society with their knowledge. Of course, as with any group, some scientists can be corrupted with enough $ dangled in front of them, but the majority of those tend to be in the deep pockets of Big Oil and not slaving away in a small-town University.
