Art Horn: Climategate in the Classroom? (PJM Exclusive)
I am continually amazed at the way alarmists (on the subject of climate change) and religion bashers (on the subject of the origin of human development) hide behind the bogus claim that they are adherents to “science,” and those with whom they disagree are “flat-Earthers.”
There is much in their approach to research and analysis that fails to conform to proper scientific methodology. See: Intelligent Dishonesty (by design) http://bereapundit.com/intelligent-dishonesty/
In that sense, it is THEY who refuse to accept the curvature of the Earth. It is also they who engage in speculation (and sometimes in data manipulation), and then prop up bogus conclusions as “accepted theory.” They routinely claim to have conclusively proved things that they absolutely have not.
But their most egregious sin involves their aggressive attempts to suppress opposing viewpoints. They hold fast to their beliefs (many of which have their roots in politics), and they condemn anyone who dares to disagree.
Mr. Horn, you are a brave soul. Keep fighting for the right to be heard. Despite the strong opposition you face in academia and elsewhere, a growing number of us are listening.
