Climate change study had 'significant error': experts

The other ill effect will be that climate science and environmentalism in general will be set back decades as the full of effects of the lost credibility become apparant. With flawed study, after flawed study being exposed and the how quick people were to embrace it without the slightest scientific accountability, it should come as no surprise that people will be skeptical of climate studies going forward.

They said we were the ones who were anti-science, whilst they have been raping the subject for decades. Its ironic that they basically approached this from a political perspective instead of a scientific one. The basic theory being to bombard the people with hysterical apocalyptic warnings in the hopes that they would force action on the ideas they advance as solutions, and in so doing they provided the means by which they could in effect be un-done. Self-defeating counterproductivity, such as this, would almost be comedic were it not for the very real damage it can and probably will do.

I don't really see the relevance of the story here. A couple of scientists were wrong and were quickly corrected by other scientists. There's not much to go here unless you want to pursue a logical fallacy that because one study on global warming turned out to be wrong all studies on global warming could be wrong. If you go down this path you could declare all science as potentially wrong. And maybe eating five cheeseburgers each day is actually good for your health then.

Do you really think it matters if its one or thousands if people begin to think you have been intentionally misleading them, whether or not its false. My first paragraph was objective analysis which I would advise not to be so easily discounted. The second one was my personal opinion.
