Memorandum submitted by Walter Radtke
(CRU 04)
Subsequent to these investigations should be
the creation of a permanent government body chartered to receive
and investigate whistle blower data from ALL branches of science.
Climategate reflects a near-institutional disregard for scientific
method for reasons of funding, ideology or dynastic departmental
positioning that exists in the disciplines of physics, astronomy,
archaeology, etc. Competing theories to foundational hypotheses
in all disciplines exist but see little light of day. Without
publication, there is no funding, without funding there is no
competing research; simple, eh.
When was the last time you read an account of
big bang's rival- steady state cosmology? Just for fun, pick up
a copy of the book "Seeing Red" by astronomer Edwin
Hubbel's chief assistant Halton Arp and discover why big bang
may be a complete waste of taxpayer funded research money.
Other such cases exist and are not hard to track
down as most researchers accused of heresy and frozen out of publishing,
access to research tools and funding, subject to vilification
by peers, and so on, will write books on their findings for the
general public.
Also to be considered would be an investigation
of the PhD program in all disciplines to verify the many reports
of doctrinal prejudice, ideology filtration, sycophancy, etc.
Books have been written about this problem, search Amazon for
starters.
