Uncertainty is as unwelcome in postmodern science as
Flaws in new cars and appliances, and
Flatulence in closed elevators.
I know one of the participants, Dr. Philip Campbell (Editor of Nature) and requested his resignation from that position last year for:
a.) Failing to follow Nature’s own Mission Statement of 1869, and
b.) Promoting misinformation about the formation of the Solar System, the Sun’s origin, chemical composition, source of energy, and influence on changes in Earth’s climate.
He did not resign, continued to censor my comments, but I was not solicited to renew my subscription when the old one recently expired.
The last part of this quote from the abstract of Dr. Campbell’s paper illustrates why many scientists and ordinary citizens feel betrayed by leaders of the scientific community:
“Their approach to communicating uncertainty should depend on the context but,
except in some extreme emergencies, transparency is generally a virtue.”
Apparently AGW was considered an “extreme emergency.”
