Exile for non-believers

Das passiert mit Kritikern des IPCC

  The price for speaking out against global warming is exile from your peers, even if you are at the top of your field.

  What follows is an example of a scientific group that not only stopped a leading researcher from attending a meeting, but then-without discussing the evidence-applauds the IPCC and recommends urgent policies to reduce greenhouse gases.

  What has science been reduced to if bear biologists feel they can effectively issue ad hoc recommendations on worldwide energy use?

  How low have standards sunk if informed opinion is censored, while uninformed opinion is elevated to official policy?

  If a leading researcher can't speak his mind without punishment by exile, what chance would any up-and-coming researcher have? As Mitchell Taylor points out "It's a good way tomaintain consensus".

  And so it is. But it's not science.

  My friend in Australia, Joanne Nova, has come up with an interesting essay on why it is so hard for many professional scientists to come out against climate consensus.

  In fact you might say in this case study it is un-bearable.

  Let the name of Moses be stricken from every book and tablet.

  Stricken from every pylon and obelisk of Egypt.

  Let the name of Moses be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of man, for all time.
