Science was honest when research was the plaything of wealthy amateurs who just wanted to know how things worked.

Once research became a career responsible for paying the mortgage & putting food on the table, it became far from pure.

Then instead of broadcasting a find to all, they were concealed, & used to gain more funding. This was bad, but then scientists started hiding negative results for career security, the taxpayer who fund it today, started being screwed.

Science funded for political reasons, as so much is today, is not science, but propaganda, & basically worthless.

Interesting comment Has, can you provide so much as a single example that supports your patently malevolent claim?

And name, rank and serial number please!

Why won't people listen? Why is it so hard to make them realise that climate change is not a problem, it is a SYMPTOM.

What is the real problem in the world? It is OVER-POPULATION!

Trying to do something about climate change without doing anything about over-population is urinating into the breeze!

Of course over-population is such an unpleasant subject that discussion is banned at the Oxford Union. So much for left-wing facists.

The first world population is more or less stabilised. The extra 3 or 4 billion we can expect over the next 30 years will come from the third world.

But mention this and the third world screams genocide!

The world is a finite place and nature has efficient ways of curbing excessive population. Four horsemen feature in most scenarios.

What is the best approach to fix this?

The chinese have shown us. A world-wide one child policy.

The chances of that being implemented are 2/5 of 4/8 of 1/116 of sfa.

Should be a fun century.
