The commentary is from a year ago, and the poem was written so long ago that we were still flying Space Shuttles. But the feeling is quite sincere, and I’ve had much reason to put the skill discussed below to use.( Read more... )

Hmm, you've been quiet lately. Maybe this article will get you talking. It's annoying how the author has shortened the already accusatory "climate change denial" to the obvious misnomer "climate denial," and you can easily refute the climate claims, but what about his other claims -- that we're far more trusting on other matters of science, which makes us appear inconsistent?

People objecting to the fraud in "Piltdown Man" were not labeled "anti-science."

In fact, had governments and nonprofits felt it desirable to pump billions of dollars per year into Piltdown Man, no one would have officially discovered it to this day. And the ones who did, and complained, would be booted out and labeled crackpots, even blowing past their tenured positions.

That's what they're dealing with now. The money pumped to "pro-catastrophe" papers and press releases is 1,000 times more than the money that had been pumped into the "what happened to the science" non-catastrophe side.

But still, the opposition to catastrophism still exists. So now we see the concerted effort to shut us down by jail terms.

It won't work, for enough of us to count.
