He's certainly not in any way a scientist.-Touche'. I didn't say he was a scientist. I guess you don't follow the WSJ. But the issue is as he expressed. Can we trust scientists, when they are government supported, when science can be politicized, when peer review can be coercive, and creating a "Crisis" can mean huge government grants from whence comes their salaries? Climategate is actually a huge issue; and it affects us in our discussions here. Can we trust our sources? That is why I am so hard on Stenger.
