Something has been bothering me lately about the debate on global warming. When I was in school, we learned about the scientific process and how you start with a hypothesis and then go about proving or disproving it. Never did politics or emotion enter the equation. It was this absoluteness that attracted me to engineering and science in general.
So the question arises, is the scientific process as it relates to global warming tainted by emotion or political agenda? Are politicians using scientists greed for funding dollars to drive an agenda? Is this a new phenomenon, or something that has existed since the beginning of the scientific process?
I will add to this post as time permits, but for now ponder the questions and please comment.
