"Global warming" hysteria is only the latest in this long line of notions, whose main argument is that there is no argument, because it is "science." The recently revealed destruction of raw data at the bottom of the global warming hysteria, as well as revelations of attempts to prevent critics of this hysteria from being published in leading journals, suggests that the disinterested search for truth " the hallmark of real science " has taken a back seat to a political crusade.
That made me laugh. The irony of the argument being over because a statement is "science" is pretty striking. Declaring that the argument is over is per definition unscientific.
Global warming used to be a scam, now it is a religion.
