Indepublicrat, why are you demanding purity of though by others before debating what you think needs to be debated? Its puzzling.

It’s not about purity of thought. It’s about separating science (the search for truth) from politics (the search for action). I want the scientists to be able to collect their data and refine their theories in a politics-free atmosphere so that the laymen, politicians, and pundits can have the best information and most accurate models we can get. Then I want the politicians to engage in good faith discussions on what political and economic policies would best respond to the problem. That’s where the debate should be, but you don’t get there if you’re disingenuously questioning the underlying data and intimidating the scientists from doing their jobs.
