"One of the common failings among honorable people is
a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable
some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them."
-- Thomas Sowell

The brouhaha over the recent epiphany regarding junk science and climate change duplicity is a big deal.
Science is “supposed” to be all about facts, evidence and proof. The scientific method that kids are taught at an early age is explained as “A method of discovering knowledge about the natural world based in making falsifiable predictions (hypotheses), testing them empirically, and developing peer-reviewed theories that best explain the known data.” It is not “supposed” to be a sporting event of “us” versus “them” or team competition.
Reportedly, computer hackers obtained some 160 megabytes of emails from the Climate Research Unit a University in England. The e-mails were exchanges between researchers and policy advocates who shared a similar gospel according to them. Shockingly, authorities were discussing the “destruction and hiding of data that did not support global-warming claims.” Hello???
