Real Science & Real Scientists (More from NYC)
Here are some quotes from the global warming conference I attended earlier this week that ought to help inform the global warming/climate change policy debate.
From Thomas Huxley:
- Skepticism is the highest calling of a true scientist.
- The great tragedy of science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
- Science commits suicide when it adopts a creed. [In this case the creed is Global Warming??? Just another note on this, don’t global warming advocates sound an awful lot like Chicken Little?]
From Alfred North Whitehead:
“It is the business of the future to be dangerous, and it is among the merits of science that it equips the future for its duties.”
