If the science is settled, why do we need all these people working at it? : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 9/2/2016

Has Climate Science become hopelessly bogged down? Has Climate Science reached a point where misbehaving programs [paradigms] are using 99% of research efforts and thus draining away – frittering away – the field’s resources?

Loudmouth, why wouldn't his conscience allow him to continue?

Aidan,

Milk is mostly water. You can't compress water. You can make a living out of trying, but my friend realised very early that, since it was impossible, it was immoral to keep trying, and taking someone's money for pretending to be doing the impossible. Engineers have morals too, you know.

And it still took him 6 months to figure that out?

Yeah you're right, he probably wouldn't have fit in at CSIRO.

Hi Bugsy,

Well, he did all the modelling first. But GIGO, eventually.

Cheers,

Joe

What sort of halfwit doesn't know that liquids aren't compressible and hires somebody to do the impossible?

A fool and his money are soon parted. This is why we need more science education.

Toni Lavis - So what do you call someone who knows something is impossible but still takes the money as if they can do it like the CSIRO have been doing for years and years. Not picking on CSIRO they all do this I think that was the point made!
