Sir Paul added: 'We need to be aware of those who mix up science, based on evidence and rationality, with politics and ideology, where opinion, rhetoric and tradition hold more sway. We need to be aware of political or ideological lobbyists who do not respect science, cherry picking data or argument, to support their pre-determined positions.' Perhaps a good description of himself? Psychological projection?
“Politicians who do not believe in climate change should be 'crushed and buried', according to the new president of the British Science Association.” Does the Nurse need a Doctor? Or is this just an angry expression of irrationality? Totally embarrassing confessions for the President of the British Science Association. Shouldn’t we expect cogent reasoning from such a position?
Is the temperature stasis a distortion?
And they know this how? Must have missed the recall on their crystal ball.
But we will get it right in 2050! Trust us.
The ‘settled science’ seems malleable. Can we safely conclude that the experts don’t know squat about climate change?
Scientists have learned to play politics. Push a scary story: attract much funding and notoriety.
Work on the mundane and poor and obscure you will remain.
The new president of the BSA has learned this lesson well.
