A beautiful Hypothesis destroyed by an inconvenient fact

A beautiful Hypothesis destroyed by an inconvenient fact The trouble seems to be that although the science behind global warming gets debunked, it never seems to stick. Somehow that meme, that the environmentalism religion, if you will, has a life of its own. The saddest thing is the selling out of science, of research science. The same thing seems to be happening in the health and nutrition field if Gary Taubes's amazing expose "Good Calories, Bad Calories" is to be believed. This is science at its very cynical worst, that is science to prove a pre-set, politically correct or politically desirable, conclusion. As Americans become more and more accustomed to sell-out science, their trust falls away. Not a good thing. "Ah, the tragedy of it all. A beautiful Hypothesis destroyed by an inconvenient fact."
