I remember an article from probably 15 years ago, it was an opinion piece in the NYT. There was a guy who was an expert specifically in big weather phenomenon- typhoons, hurricanes etc.

He was fully on board with man made climate change and decided to do a study to show the increase in the frequency of storms.

His study found no statistical difference correlated with CO2, even with lag.

He published the results and was immediately shunned by the scientific community. I don’t remember the exact details but he lost positions, had a contract pulled, even had colleagues stop returning his calls and emails. 

**It didn’t stop him from believing in the negative effects of climate change**-but it really worried him that the scientific community was shunning someone that did actual science because they didn’t like his conclusions.

Now consider that there’s actually a handful of people in governments that control nearly all gov funding for climate change- which is a very useful narrative to raise taxes, preserve, give raises and create new government jobs and increase government control- and logically the only conclusion you can come to is that the science is not neutral.

How much is it off? Is it enough to matter? I don’t know- but the science isn’t neutral and we know it.

I was about to make this very point. It has crossed from being a scientific issue to a moral one. They don’t want to see studies that suggest anything but climate change being catastrophic and immediate. You even hear scientists, actual fucking *scientists* saying that such studies should not be published due to the negative effects they would have on the populace. 

We literally cannot trust the science on this because the science is not allowed to come to an unbiased conclusion.
