The chickens have come home to roost.stuffmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264001755143960346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12471112.post-27779009440696771602008-06-08T18:37:00.000+01:002008-06-08T18:37:00.000+01:00Dunno.

The thought was inspired by recalling a wonderful rant by a mathematician about the harm done by surplus physicists who tried to take over the field of Chaos/Nonlinear Dynamics some time ago.

Maybe it consists largely of rather autistic "scientists" who earnestly imagined that they should rise to the challenge implicit in the old joke that everyone discusses the weather but no-one ever does anything about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12471112.post-30598584952104963962008-06-07T23:02:00.000+01:002008-06-07T23:02:00.000+01:00I've been saying for some time that "Climate Scien...I've been saying for some time that "Climate Science" seems to have moved on from ineptness to dishonesty. It is, I think, quite normal in life that the incompetent turn to crime when it turns out that they are not up to earning an honest living. It'll be interesting to see whether my general proposition applies to these folks in particular. One of the driving forces for the Global Warming scam is probably that the world has been overproducing people with PhDs in physics and related sciences for decades.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
