In the wake of the Climategate scandal that raises doubts about the objectivity of the global warming researchers and calls intio question all the data they have compiled, the editors at <a href=”http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2009/11/why_do_you_believe_what_you_do.php” target=”_blank”>Talking Points Memo decided to attack conservatives:
There’s been a lot of recent evidence not only that Republicans disproportionately disbelieve the evidence for man-made global warming but that their skepticism is growing. I think that trend is fairly classed under the general heading of Republican/conservative hostility to science. But the other point interests me no less.
That is ironic because it is the left — not the right — that is ignoring the growing body of evidence that discredits the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Climategate revealed that data supporting this theory is corrupted by the political agenda and quest for government grants by proponents of anthropogenic global warming at Penn State and at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England.
Lefties have turned the scientific method on its ear. It is not up to the skeptics to disprove this theory but rather proponents to prove in a clean and dispassionate way their theory.
The high-pressure sales pitch and the ad hominem attacks on skeptics are tell-tale signs that the facts are not on the liberal side.
Again.
The conservatives, not the liberals, are the ones using scientific methods. Liberals? Feelings, nothing more than feelings…
