[MD] SOM's defect comes home to roost

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Platt]
The issue is the honesty of SOM science.

[Arlo]
Which I presume includes "scientists" opposed to "global warming", or 
espousing a "rightist ideology". Or should we naturally accept what 
they say as "honest", since those in the "right" never lie, cheat, 
falsify or alter data to support their "agenda". I mean, do the 
scientists promoting right-wing views "have a provision for morals"? 
And, if ALL science is suspect, who do we turn to here?

And what about this? What if we forget the "global warming hysteria" 
on both sides (the side that shouts "the sky is falling" and the side 
that shouts "its a one-world conspiracy to enslave mankind") and just 
consider for a moment that maybe reducing pollution is a good goal 
all around, even when it interferes with our Holy Pursuit of the 
Almighty Dollar.

In the end, the Earth has been through cycles of glaciation and 
cycles of temperance. It has been covered in ice, and covered in 
sweltering tropics. The poles have shifted, areas of vegetation are 
now deserts, while areas once inhabitable are lush valleys. But it is 
our home. And we should treat it with respect.

IMHO.
