Politically Incorrect reports on an article (in German) by Dirk Maxeiner in the Swiss paper Weltwoche that contradicts some of the hysteria driven public discourse on the topic of global warming. Maxeiner describes the “self silencing” process of critics of the IPCC report.
By chance, I found this interesting letter to the editor of Times Online:
Sir, I listened on Thursday to Melvin Bragg’s excellent programme on Karl Popper. Afterwards I heard of David Milliband’s remark that the scientific debate on global warming was now closed.
I am not sure if Popper would have laughed or raged — probably both. For him no scientific debate was ever closed, and he pointed out that the Newtonian “consensus” had lasted several centuries when Einstein came along and reopened the debate. Whether the “climate consensus” will last more than a few years before the debate needs to be reopened seems doubtful.
As I understand it, the climate modellers are using Newtonian mechanics
