Ray H. Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This article, in Nature, freely admits that climate models have serious flaws, and they could use the help of physicists to sort out major issues involving cloud convection. But physicists in the article admit that the most talented in their field tend to gravitate towards the rock star specialties like cosmology and quantum physics over the less sexy business of dealing with real world problems. Status trumps relevance, apparently. Gotta get that nerd pussy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirgall Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The real problem is falsified data and utter incompetence. ...and a cover-up by "cleansing" wikipedia. http://www.caryinstitute.org/newsroom/wikipedia-politically-controversial-science-topics-are-vulnerable-information-sabotage Wikipedia reigns. It’s the world’s most popular online encyclopedia, the sixth most visited website in America, and a research source most U.S. students rely on. But, according to a paper published today in the journal PLOS One, Wikipedia entries on politically controversial scientific topics can be unreliable due to information sabotage.

russoft Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The problem is that climate science has been corrupted by politics and mas media. The media can't appreciate the nuances that most research papers have. They'll claim scientists have achieved some grandiose feat, only to actually be totally wrong. As with any field of science, progress takes time and effort, and is imperfect at best. A fact many politicians and journalists don't appreciate.
