The term "Political Science" is probably the best example of what an oxymoron is. THAT however, is just an informed opinion for which there is likely consensus, and Not to be confused with REAL science.

Excellent points John but on this one, don't kid yourself. "Judeo-Christian set of moral standards (like the Ten Commandments). That reinforced the time-honored tradition of scientists constructively debating with other scientists about the evidence." The single most powerful enemy of seeking scientific truth has always been and remains organized dogmatic religion of any persuasion. The Christians and especially the Catholics being among the worst offenders. Go read history.

AJB: Indeed there have been examples of that, but mostly quite awhile ago.

As described by the fellows of the Royal Society, the scientific method of investigaion is "take nobody's word for it. However, the teachers' unions are abusing their power by teaching public school students to take the words of the marxists for it.

I agree with you. It seems that the current generation are the most ignorant and brainwashed immoral and irreligious of any these last few thousand years. For me, evil happens when ignorance is King and fools imagine that ends justify means without reference to history or doctrine of any kind.

The consequences of the climate alarmist policies implemented in following junk science (read change the data) have cost our worldwide social order trillions of dollars chasing after solutions to a problem which is almost literally non existent. The effect of anthropomorphic CO2 generation on climate change is miniscule at best and many other factors affecting climate are far more significant. When the alarmists post pictures of clouds pouring out of power plant cooling towers the implication is that the clouds are primarily CO2. In truth the clouds are .04% CO2; the rest is mostly water vapor.

More like Western Civilization. The Marxist strategy is to tear everything down and rebuild with themselves in charge. (Trust me, I am in the intellectual elite and I know what is best for you and everyone else. Oh, by the way any new rules only apply to you, not to me.).
