New Science Constantly Chipping Away Old Science

Science, as generally taught, can be dry, but science is fascinating. Two finds in recent years suggest that it is once again time to re-look accepted science.

European style stone tools suggest Stone Age people actually discovered America

But now, it appears Europeans might have been first to arrive on the scene after all. Stone tools found recently in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia in the eastern United States, all appear to bear a striking resemblance to tools used by Stone Age peoples in early Europe, and have been dated to a time between 19,000 and 26,000 years ago, a period during which Stone Age people were making such tools, and long before the early Asians arrived.

White man's skull has Australians scratching heads

"Before we rewrite the history of European settlement we have to consider a number of issues, particularly the circumstances of the discovery," archaeologist Adam Ford told the Telegraph.

"The fact the skull is in good condition and found alone could easily point to it coming from a private collection and skulls were very popular with collectors in the 19th century."

Cassie Mercer, editor of Australia And New Zealand Inside History, said the skull "could be an incredible find".

"I guess it's a very exciting find because it could open up a whole lot of avenues of history that we haven't been able to explore before," she told AFP.

This exciting stuff. Look for more.

OOPS! AGW's Settled Science Changes Again

Personally I think kittens are the root problem.

Global warming caused by chlorofluorocarbons, not carbon dioxide, new study says

Oh, My. More Unsettled Science

This appears to be more prevalent in science than truth. How many other cases of pay to play money for nothing research? Maybe we should look at the studies on Al Gore's chakra again? You know, we'll call it energy research and get lots of government money.

Fraud In The Social Sciences

The more you manipulate your data (and there are lots of ways to massage your data so that it shows what you’d like, even without knowing you’re doing it), the more likely you are to come up with a publishable result. Peer review acts as something of a check on this, of course. But your peers don’t know if, for example, you decided to report only the one time your experiment worked, instead of the seven times it didn’t.

Fraud. Plain and simple. And the state of science today.

More On That Settled Science

Report shows UN admitting solar activity may play significant role in global warming
“Even after the IPCC acknowledges extensive evidence for ... solar forcing beyond what they included in their models, they still make no attempt to account for this omission in their predictions. ... It's insane.”

AGW is still out there and its bitter clingers like to always say, "but" even as science shows that climatology is not settled science.

'Settled Science' Scientists Belittle Themselves To Threats

It's good to be king a protected unelected bureaucrat. Once hired you can make stupid statements, stupid laws and threats and nada can be done to you. You can mix your personal missions with science, stir the beaker and , viola! You have settled science and a fun afternoon of crucifying those who disagree.

EPA Official's 'Philosophy' On Oil Companies: 'Crucify Them' - Just As Romans Crucified Conquered Citizens

In the video, Administrator Armendariz says:

“I was in a meeting once and I gave an analogy to my staff about my philosophy of enforcement, and I think it was probably a little crude and maybe not appropriate for the meeting, but I’ll go ahead and tell you what I said:

“It was kind of like how the Romans used to, you know, conquer villages in the Mediterranean.  They’d go in to a little Turkish town somewhere, they’dfind the first five guys they saw and they’d crucify them.

“Then, you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years.”

“It’s a deterrent factor,” Armendariz said, explaining that the EPA is following the Romans’ philosophy for subjugating conquered villages.

Soon after Armendariz touted the EPA’s “philosophy,” the EPA began smear campaigns against natural gas producers, Inhofe’s office noted in advance of today’s Senate speech:

“Not long after Administrator Armendariz made these comments in 2010, EPA targeted US natural gas producers in Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming.

“In all three of these cases, EPA initially made headline-grabbing statements either insinuating or proclaiming outright that the use of hydraulic fracturing by American energy producers was the cause of water contamination, but in each case their comments were premature at best – and despite their most valiant efforts, they have been unable to find any sound scientific evidence to make this link.”

This is how the left does its business. At least they used to have enough shame to contain it to coffee houses and faculty lounges,

Oh My! When Will Science Be Settled?

Hundreds of thousands of doctors, educators and researchers receive their funding from one source. What could go wrong, especially when all these experts crow that science is king and all of the deniers are Luddites who are just shilling for a buck? Well, that single source of funding is government and to disagree will get you called all kinds of silly childish names because the vested interest is on their side. That side should not be erroneously considered "settled science", but settled group think.

The Galileo of Global Warming

I have written before about how the left loves to invoke the example of Galileo in order to present themselves as the great defenders of science against all of those knuckle-dragging religious bigots who don't believe in global warming. But these same people don't understand science very well themselves (remember amateur neurologist Janeane Garofalo lecturing us about the "limbic brain"?), so they end up using Galileo, a man who defied the "consensus" of his day, as a propaganda talking point to enforce the consensus of today.

It occurred to me a while back that there is something worse about this invocation of Galileo, because there is a modern-day equivalent to Galileo, specifically on the issue of global warming—and he's on the other side. In this more civilized age, he is thankfully not threatened with torture or any kind of persecution. But he is a pioneer of new and important scientific truths who is being ignored and vilified because his discoveries run counter to the quasi-religious dogma of our day.

All the believers believe themselves some science, eh? Of course they’ll smugly point out that these are all old farts thus not believable because they don’t have a precious apple on the desk.

Partying Like It's 1633 At AGW Government Subsidized Headquarters

Ah, the supporters of science (that can't believe in science because they don't understand science) will come out of the woodwork like vermin. Again. Why? Because an army of modern day Galileos looked at settled science and unsettled the PC crowd which is making tons of money off of their "green" minions by showing the science isn't settled at all.

Climategate proves scientists are - gasp! - human

The emails also show AGW scientists conspiring to smear those who disagree with their apocalyptic diagnosis of the planetary temperature, and discussing with one another how to hide or minimize contrary evidence and evade lawful requests for their data.

The tables have turned as the status quo is being proven to be no more than a group of money grubbing people using science as their personal taxpayer subsidized ATM. Now it is the secular religion of global warming that must face science. Will they? Sure, if they can turn a profit. They're only human.

It isn't 1633 AD anymore.

Climategate 2: Scientists And Politicians Working Together For The Bad Of All

Climategate 2 Emails Loaded with Bombshells

The news article points out the scientists lied, knew they were lying and that AGW is a lie. Below is a great comment following the article:

George Pops · Troy State

Can we finally agree that the mixing of Politics and Science ensures the death of science and the expansion of politics into arenas where political consideration have no business? Anthropogenic Global Warming is the 2nd biggest story ever told. If you are still a believer you're probably also a boot licker for Obama, or perhaps you've moved your sights upward some.....

AGW: A hoax foisted on us by liars in science and politics for monetary gain, false prestige and control and power. Typical big government type thinkers who are merely small smug self-righteous bullies. 

In short, leftists.
