Perhaps South Dakota will repeal the law of gravity, next?

They said "largely" speculation. YOU are the one changing that to "sheer" speculation and "simple" speculation.

Well I agree and you'd think the scientific community would have learnt to stay out of politics by now but I guess they have to pander to the alarmists in order to get their funding.

The main thrust of my 2nd reply was that it is evidence based, not speculative in nature. They are making it sound like the science is pure speculation, which is false.

The scientific community is largely out of the picture, not really pandering to anyone. Most governmental funding comes regardless of the direction of results, they just want an accurate picture. Its these other people that are taking the science and running with it to further their own ends. Just like those on the other side are doing the same thing too. I guess this is why I like scientific discourse most, as it is by in large politics free. Everything else is poisoned by political weighting.
