Default (OT)..... What Would You Do With $87 Billion Dollars??

that the science of "Global Warming" is still disputed,

according to Christian Broadcast News, and various Oil
Industry scientists, coincidentally...
THere you go. SE my previous post on junk science. tHere is the
evidence. REach a foregone conclusion and ignore any finding of
facts which don't support your foregone conclusion.

Was that along with "breathing in vaporized depleted uranium is
healthy for you".
I've seen the entire voodoo science of CBN, and the Oil Industry
Lobbiests on Global warming, and enviormental damage, it is right
up there with those doctors that work for the tobaco companies and
say "cigarettes might not be harmful at all".
You can find scientists, after the fact, to support whatever
conclusions you need for your cause.

Amen brother. Part of true scientific inquiry or investigation is
trying to find as much data as you can before drawing a conclusion.

THe examples above are one example, but it's even more pervasive in
the science branches IA call "soft" sscience, sociology psychology
etc. These folks base their findings on a small group which fits the
group which they wish to sample.

HERe again we get back to blind people. Many older folks who go blind
have no competence with alternative methods for doing day to day
things. sOme who have been blind all their life haven't had the
education and training they need to overcome their problem, hence when
the so-called scientists take this population and decide to research
it their findings are skewed toward blind oflks as a group being
incompetent etc. That's the problem with statistics and other ways
that these sciences have to work.

THis is where peer review comes into play in all sciences. ONe has to
do the same study on a different group of people if it's one of the
soft sciences, or if it's one of the hard sciences do the experiment
again. IIRC peer review told the guys that thought they'd figured
out cold fusion that they were really all wet. Hopefully one's peers
in any scientific endeavor will come at the problem with different
biases and will draw their own conclusions.


Btw I enjoyed Roger Norman's post that I read earlier today. I know
he's a bit scheptical of the findings on global warming. Imho man is
accelerating the process, according to data that I've read, but I"m a
musician sound guy and recording guy in that order and somewhat of a
radio tinkerer. Geology and environmental science aren't my thing.
Still from my readings on the subject I can't help but believe man is
doing this. THere again I get my info on the subject from
publications that are grinding their own axe such as National
Geographic etc. THough they may have an axe to grind here according
to some I've seen them present both sides of the issue e.g. an article
a few months back talking about ice core samples in antarctica.
