Perhaps someone from the Warmist side can explain why so many climate scientists, who so often get the majority, if not all, of their funding via the government, which takes the money involuntarily from the citizens, do not want to share their data. On the one hand, they keep telling us that science is open, that there should be a free exchange of ideas. On the other, they always want to hide their work
(Daily Caller) The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) doesn’t want its unpublished climate change research seen by the public. The association is trying to block requests from a conservative think tank that wants to see what kind of research is being withheld from publication.
The College Fix reports that the AAUP has filed a brief with the Arizona Court of Appeals to stop the research efforts of the Energy & Environment Legal Institute from obtaining the data. The association suggested in a Friday news release that even though if a professor’s research his been conducted at a pubic university, it should not be available for the public to examine.
The association goes so far as describing the request for the research information as “harassment†because it “targeted†the professors engaged in that research. And they say it’s all about maintaining “a free and vital university system, which depends on the protection of academic freedom to engage in the free and open scientific debate necessary to create high quality academic research.â€
Divulging the information “would have a severe chilling effect on intellectual debate among researchers and scientists,†the association says.
Warmists always have some excuse. What are they afraid of divulging? As one of the commenters notes, in regards to the last paragraph in the excerpt
Get your head around that. What they’re saying is that “intellectual debate” would be compromised by the introduction of all relevant information into the debate.
Correct.
Don’t you remember Einstein and the boys trying hide their data that would prove their hypothesis? Me neither
Corporations get huge tax breaks for their research efforts. Do you support the gov’t forcing corporations to disclose all their research notes?
Sounds good to me, fool.
Typical leftist lunacy: Tax writeoff for business expense equates to cash payment for services
Typical rightist ignorance.
Typical ivory tower bullshit.
Can’t back up fake science with facts so hide the research. Anomalize the data.
Hockey Stick 101.
For those that don’t know all about Jeff. He owns a corporation and takes the big right offs and all the other perks of the economic structure. Not only that, but his so called drug company is paid for and funded by the NIH. In other words, he did not build it and we own it.
dave,
For those who don’t know about Dave. He’s a smelly old liar and appears to be transitioning from a male to a female. He has admitted taking bribes to deliver favorable clinical trial results to drug companies.
A small group of investor/scientists co-founded my company in 2009. I left a well-paid big pharma job to found the current company – it’s what entrepreneurs do. Since I had lived simply, invested luckily and saved aggressively I had a sizable cash cushion. Early on we self-funded and were unpaid – two of us worked full-time without pay – eventually picking up starter funding from local “investor clubs”, a “seed” fund and an investment from a analytical Contract Research Organization. After a couple of years our success attracted large institutional venture funds who have invested nearly $100 million over the past 6 years or so.
We don’t have even one penny of NIH funding, you smelly old liar, so kiss my ass you smelly, old, jealous bastard.
Why don’t you ever want to discuss ideas or make cogent arguments?
You own nothing of mine, you nasty old demented man.
Well, little jeffuckery, at least he left out the part about your lying about joining the Army during Vietnam.
Also that secret special “love” you shared with your grandson.
Recently, dave finally became the most frequent and dynamic liar amongst TEACHs fluffers, supplanting the former best fluffer. The competition has become heated of late, as many of the erstwhile most creative fluffers fled to where they wouldn’t be challenged to defend their bizarre ideas.
Jeff.
You left out the nature of your company. You provide parties to promote drug trials. So you mostly pump to doctors to get them to push the numbers for your drug clients. Also, tell everyone about how we paid for your education with our tax money via NIH grants. You have been a leech your whole life and all you want is to make us pay more, while you take all the breaks to keep from paying your fair share.
dave,
Your an old smelly liar. You’re just jealous for being such a failure by comparison.
You previously admitted to taking bribes from drug companies, and now you project that everyone does that.
My company doesn’t provide parties, but you know that, you smelly old liar.
Who paid your education? Didn’t you and your buddy David Duke attend LSU together?
I probably pay more in taxes than you make. By the way, do you accept Medicaid and Medicare payments, you smelly old crook?
