wow...

I just read an article describing the "climategate" emails as the best piece of evidence in the war against global warming science. Wow good job America, now in addition to the War on Terror and the War on Drugs we've created the War on Science. I guess this means that people fighting in this war will have to assume that everything science has given us is now suspect, how about the war on modern medicine? war on the food you eat? war on your way of life? Over the coming days will we see anti-science vigilantes flinging their computers to the ground, rejecting science as myth, drawing out maps of the universe with a flat Earth on a turtle's back? Of course not, because these people don't care about science, don't understand it, and only like it if it is pushing their political agenda. Just cause Sean Hannity says it has been the coldest year on record does not make it fact. http://mediamatters.org/research/200911250020?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+mediamatters%2Flatest+%28Media+Matters+-+Latest+Items%29 I understand that people have a hard time understanding that anthropogenic climate change is real, but a war on global warming science?? Who are the players? On the one hand, you have a group of computer hackers taking emails out of context and on the other you have scientists who have engaged in years worth of highly scrutinized research. While I value questioning and don't think we should ever take things at face value, I also believe that we need to look at the full body of climate change research to form an opinion. We have a long history of people trying to distort the truth, the scientific process is the only thing we can trust in a world of lies.
