Science used to be very difficult and expensive. You had to perform experiments, sometimes very complex and expensive experiments. Then you had to analyze the results. Then you would write a paper and submit it for peer review. Then other scientists would attempt to reproduce your results. There would always be scientists who disagreed with your conclusions and who would challenge them, and you had to be prepared to reply to their objections. It could take years, decades, to resolve a question. And then another scientist might come along with a new theory and, bam!, the whole question was re-opened.<br /><br />Science is so much more efficient today. The Democratic Party considers what scientific theory is most beneficial to them politically. They have a press conference where they announce this result. That is the definition of "settled science". Then they pass laws or initiate lawsuits so that anyone who doesn't parrot the party line can be denied funding for his research, or even fined or jailed. This cuts out so much of the tedious parts of the old process.jayhttp://www.johansens.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-19958731910711207452016-12-13T00:58:48.409-05:002016-12-13T00:58:48.409-05:00Peddling the long discredited 97% meme?
