Speaking of censure:
Quadrant Online - Lysenkoism and James Hansen
This conversion to honesty came too late,
however, for in the intervening years thousands
of other climate scientists had meanwhile climbed
onto the Hansenist funding gravy-train. Currently,
global warming alarmism is fuelled by an estimated
worldwide expenditure on related research and
greenhouse bureaucracy of more than US$10
billion annually.
Scientists and bureaucrats being only too human,
the power of such sums of money to corrupt not
only the politics of greenhouse, but even the
scientific process itself, should not be underestimated.
In recognition of these events, the term Hansenism
is now sometimes used to describe the climate
hysteria which had, until recently, gripped western
media sources and political, business and public
opinion in a deadly grasp.
----------------------------------
Lysenkoism damaged mainly Soviet science
and society, whereas Hansenism has now been
exerting its pernicious influence worldwide for
more than twenty years. The climate alarmism
involved has long been undermining the precious
public trust from which science draws its
traditional influence and sustenance, and now
Climategate has opened up new sinkholes all
over the place.
Hansenist climate alarmism has also damaged
the standing of many leading science journals
and science organizations, which have replaced
their formerly careful editorial and organizational
balance with environmental alarmism and naked
global warming advocacy.
Future historians of science are likely to judge
the 1988-2009 frenzy of climate change alarmism
as even more damaging than Lysenkoism, because
of the distrust that collapse of the global warming
paradigm has already inculcated about using science
to inform modern policy making.
There are those who will hang on the agw alarmism
like it were a childhood teddy bear they are unwilling
to part with under any circumstances.
The big question is whether the US govenment will
come to it's senses and cease and desist in the
destruction of American energy production to
achieve these alarmist goals based on false science
and hidden political philosophy??
Not under the current regime led by a CIC that
is a socialist idealogue who has appointed the
wierdest assortment of fringe characters the
world has ever seen, at least since the days
of Adolph Schickelgruber.
Adolph Hitler said it well: When an opponent
declares, "I will not come over to your side," I
calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already...
What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants,
however, now stand in the new camp. In a short
time they will know nothing else but this new
community.
Deprograming the youth who have been indoctrinated
in this false science their whole lives will not be an
easy task but it can be done.
