[When it comes to Global Warming there are] Two Kinds of Scientists

We are assured by such groups that scientists everywhere are sounding these warnings, and that we may only have one chance to stop it. Well, as the debate rages, we find that there are really two kinds of scientists.

There are those who look at facts and make their judgements based on what they see and know. Their findings can be matched by any other scientist, using the same data and set of circumstances to reach the same conclusions.  It’s a age-old practice called “peer review.”  It’s the only true science.

And then there are those who yearn for a certain outcome and set about creating the needed data to make it so.  Usually you will find this group of scientists greatly dependent on grants supplied by those with a specific political agenda who demand desired outcomes for their money.

Let’s just take NASA, for example—the most trusted name in American science. A lot of NASA scientists have fallen into the money trap.  Environmental science has become the life-blood of the space program as the nation has lost interest in space travel.  To keep the bucks coming, NASA has justified launches through the excuse of earth-directed environmental research.  And the budgets keep coming. At the same time, many of NASA’s scientists have a political agenda in great harmony with those who advocate global warming.  And they’re not above using their position to aid that agenda whenever the chance is available.

This was never more clearly demonstrated than in 1992 when a team of three NASA scientists were monitoring conditions over North America to determine if the ozone layer was in danger. Inconclusive data indicated that conditions might be right for ozone damage over North America—if certain things happened.

True scientists are a careful lot. They study, they wait, and many times they test again before drawing conclusions.  Not so, the green zealot.  Of this three-member NASA team, two could not be sure of what they had found and wanted to do more research.    But one took the data and rushed to the microphones with all of the drama of a Hollywood movie and announced in hushed tones that NASA had discovered an ozone hole over North America.

Then Senator Al Gore rushed to the floor of the Senate with the news, and drove a stampede to immediately ban Freon—five years before Congress had intended—and without a suitable substitute.  He then bullied President George H.W. Bush to sign the legislation by saying the ozone hole was over Kennebunkport, Maine—Bush’s favorite vacation spot.
