[MD] Global Warming: Science or Politics?

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Platt]
Platt says bias is not unknown among those who claim objectivity, including the
Academy. 

[Arlo]
Scholarly publication is a system designed to filter out an individual's bias.
Its not a perfect system, but over time it appears to work. I'm not sure what
an alternative would be. Suggestions?

[Platt]
A reasonable accurate description of the "Academy" as represented in the liberal
arts segment of today's universities. One need only recall the uproar at
Harvard at the former president's remarks about women to understand that P.C.
rules the day among the self-proclaimed body of intellectual elites.

[Arlo]
If we can't trust The Academy, and I assume you mean in its entirety since even
a study on social psychology is immediately dismissed as biased, who can we
trust? I don't agree with everything that comes out of the Academy, but I am
reasonably certain that it is the best place to go to gather information. What
would you suggest instead?
