Well these days, Mr. Samuel Clemens we get so much more from our scientists, including political grandstanding, sophistry, deceit, data tampering and a whole lot more. And of course you were talking about honest science, something that is very rare these days.
Twain’s quote is pretty kind when you consider the likes of Margaret Mead and Mikey Mann. The likes of those two consider the facts to be their enemies and set out to destroy them.
Sadly there are no ‘trifling investments’ where CAGW is concerned, vast amounts of valuable resources are being pissed away by psychopaths.
Actually, there is – with facts. Precious few of them, and then the alarmist cannot even get those correct. But you are correct with the money.

That’s one if the funniest videos I have seen in a long time! 😆
Thanks for sharing. 😉
Just go away.. global-warming is real and it’s happening now people! LMAO
“Just stay focused… Wait!”
LMAO. That is gold!
Climategate has been a blessing in disguise. It caught the attention of talented citizens, like Steven Goddard, and gave each one of us the tools to decipher the New World Order, “settled science,” “consensus science,” “standard models,” etc., for ourselves if we will:
_ a.) Study reliable observations of the Sun – Earth’s heat source – and
_ b.) Diligently put together the pieces of this 69-year old puzzle:

PS – It will be helpful if you remember that Dr. Kazuo Kuroda was the nuclear geochemist that took possession of Japan’s A-bomb plans in 1945. He became my research mentor in 1960, assigning a research project that would uncover information forbidden to the public after 1945.
Oliver,
I googled under your name (hope you don’t mind) and you indeed are a exceptional scientist! Your “iron sun” discovery appears to be a very large scientific break through in terms of the way we view the solar system and the universe in general.
You may very well be our own modern day Galileo and I am very honered and flattered to know you!

It’s a very interesting idea, if our sun and solar-system formed from a previous super nova… It means that the galactic arm which our solar-system is part of, is older than the stars nearer to the galactic center.
I studied galaxy formation over 15 years ago and I noticed that galaxies form from the inside-out and not from the outside-in as current theory suggests.. You will also notice that galaxies only form in one pair or more, they did not spontaneously appear out of a supernatural singularity or a “big bang”.
I was thinking about doing a post with some illustrations on galaxy and star formation for awhile now. it won’t be liked!
I mean the the ‘Big Bang’ as in, formed from an early hot state. Absolute balls, if you actually study it. (to be blunt) 😉
You are right, Sparks.
My good friend, the late Dr. Wilbur K. Brown (PhD, Nuclear Engineering, UC-Berkeley), worked on weapon fragmentation at Los Alamos National Laboratory and published many papers on the role of sequential fragmentation in the formation of galaxies, stars, solar systems. Here are a three:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the quote before, but it’s GREAT!
Thanks for sharing.
Here is the full quote which I often used in the beginning of a basic science class to introduce error
In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. That is an average of a trifle over one mile and a third per year. Therefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the old Oolitic Silurian Period, must a million years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi River was upward of one million three hundred thousand miles long, and stuck out over the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing-rod. And by the same token any person can see that seven hundred and forty-two years from now the Lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long, and Cairo and New Orleans will have their streets joined together, and be plodding comfortably along under a single mayor and a mutual board of aldermen. There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.
Thanks. That’s great. LOL

Though Twain’s wording is considerably more elegant.
Clasic!

Very good collection of quotes. I like the sage too.
I came in with Halley’s Comet, it is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: ‘Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.’ Oh, I am looking forward to that. Mark Twain 1909
Forget the climate . There are bigger problems in this world.

Scientific knowledge was defined in the 70’s as the consensus of the greatest number of scientist that agreed with a given theory. Now it is the consensus of the largest number of scientists financed by the largest funded government project.
Reblogged this on Edonurwayup's Blog and commented:
Scientific knowledge use to be, not an iron clad law, but the consensus of the majority of scientists.
