march for science

You don't know what you're talking about. The major environmental legislation that were enacted under the Nixon administration had broad bilateral support by both parties and would have been enacted into law even had Nixon opposed them (which he didn't) and vetoed them cause Democrats in Congress had veto proof majorities in both houses of congress on those enacted legislation. Nixon did not enact EPA by EO. He signed the Environmental Protection Act of 1970 that was legislated by Congress and created the EPA. The Cean Air Act was signed into law by Lyndon Johnson in 1964 but both Acts were legislation enacted by congress and signed into law by the President and not by EO.

To be fair there has been broad bilateral support by law makers of both parties on science policy since World War II until the 90's when the GOP took a gigantic leap to the right and adopted authoritarian policies. Since then there has been a vast number of attacks on the validity of science by right wing politicians on a large number of science issues and not just environmental policy.
So why was there a Congressional hearing where three sceptical climatologists tried to take that charlatan Michael Mann to task? You just refuse point blank to discuss that.

Climatologists have turned "peer review" into a "good ole boy" club.
 
You trot out the same old tired screed everytime, it is textbook Naomi Oreskes and she is barking mad. Why don't you address the issues raised in my thread?

"A group of prominent US climate experts have told a Congressional committee hearing that climate science is dysfunctional, beset by bias and groupthink, and is using a profoundly unscientific approach. Speaking before the U.S. House*Committee on Science, Space and Technology, Professor John Christy told representatives that “consensus science”, as practiced by much of mainstream climatology, was “not science” at all, while Professor Judith Curry explained that “self-deception” had got the better of far too many climatologists.

Both concluded that there had been a wholesale failure to use the scientific method in climatology, something that could only be put right by the introduction of official “red teams” – groups of eminent scientists, who would be asked to challenge and provide dissenting opinions on official climate assessments.

Professor Christy said: “Congress needs a parallel, scientifically-based assessment of the state of climate science. Many important issues are left out of government-directed climate reports entirely; our policymakers need to see the entire range of findings regarding climate change”

The testimony of all four climatologists who spoke at the congressional hearings, including the dissenting views of Professor Michael Mann, are being republished by the Global Warming Policy Foundation, the London-based think tank which seeks to enhance the public debates on climate science and policy."

Mott goes on about "authoritarianism that demands conformity and ostracizes heretics who don't conform".

Almost too much irony all at once lol.
 
LOL...Tom will get this but can anyone else tell what's wrong with this picture?

I have no idea , but it describes tree-hugging, fear-mongering ignorant lefties with all their chicken little fables about climate and who end up hating the realists.

Trump pledges to protect environment while reducing ‘burdens’ on workers?

President Donald Trump says in an Earth Day statement that his administration is ‘‘committed to keeping our air and water clean, to preserving our forests, lakes and open spaces and to protecting endangered species.’’

But that won’t be done, he says, in a way that harms ‘‘working families’’ and says the government is ‘‘reducing unnecessary burdens on American workers and American companies, while being mindful that our actions must also protect the environment.’’

His comments come as thousands of people around the world participate in science rallies, many of them in protest of his policies.

Read the full statement:

“Our Nation is blessed with abundant natural resources and awe-inspiring beauty. Americans are rightly grateful for these God-given gifts and have an obligation to safeguard them for future generations. My Administration is committed to keeping our air and water clean, to preserving our forests, lakes, and open spaces, and to protecting endangered species.

“Economic growth enhances environmental protection. We can and must protect our environment without harming America’s working families. That is why my Administration is reducing unnecessary burdens on American workers and American companies, while being mindful that our actions must also protect the environment.

“Rigorous science is critical to my Administration’s efforts to achieve the twin goals of economic growth and environmental protection. My Administration is committed to advancing scientific research that leads to a better understanding of our environment and of environmental risks. As we do so, we should remember that rigorous science depends not on ideology, but on a spirit of honest inquiry and robust debate.

This April 22nd, as we observe Earth Day, I hope that our Nation can come together to give thanks for the land we all love and call home.”

Nope, that criticism applies to all science, not just climate science. But you select climate science for that rebuke because you are a partisan based on politics. Fail.

Yes it always makes me laugh when somebody here talks about peer review as if it's some magical process. All too often, especially in climate science, it has been turned into a farce.

Well maybe you might take it seriously for once? Dismissing criticisms out of hand without even knowing what is going on is ignorant. I am hoping that Trump appoints William Happer as his Science advisor, that man knows his shit!

William Happer, who is favourite to become Trump's Science Advisor, is a true intellectual giant in a world of mental pygmies.

his opinions on global warming are in the MINORITY


why cant you idiots calculate that one
So what? Even if that is true, which is isn't, science is not a talent contest where the most votes wins. It is not PC and there are no consolation prizes for coming second. If you weren't so partisan and impervious to anything outside your little world then you'd listen to somebody like climatologist Judith Curry on global warming.
