The End of Science – Believe Global Warming if you want acceptance in your chosen field…

There is a Polar Bear researcher who is by far the most experienced with the animals in the wild and he is Mitch Taylor and has been studying these white giants for 30 years. He is considered an expert on the subject of Polar Bear Ranges, population and health of the species and his input should be sought after whenever anyone wants to look at climate impacts on the Polar Bear population, and that scientific data has been sought out for many years, until now…
It appears that Taylor’s opinions around Anthropogenic Global warming and the impact on the Polar Bear is no longer welcome at the University of Alberta’s Polar Bear Speciality Group. He was not invited to this years meeting of the group, which he has attended for several years by invitation, not because his research is flawed or he committed some scientific fraud, but because his position on the impacts of AGW on the species. You see he does not think that the bears are in any measurable danger for global warming and that AGW itself is not the danger it is made out to be. So instead of an invitation this year he got a dear John letter from a outgoing President of the PBSG…
Hi Mitch,
The world is a political place and for polar bears, more so now than
ever before. I have no problem with dissenting views as long as they
are supportable by logic, scientific reasoning, and the literature.
I do believe, as do many PBSG members, that for the sake of polar
bear conservation, views that run counter to human induced climate
change are extremely unhelpful. In this vein, your positions and
statements in the Manhattan Declaration, the Frontier Institute, and
the Science and Public Policy Institute are inconsistent with positions
taken by the PBSG.
I too was not surprised by the members not endorsing an invitation.
Nothing I heard had to do with your science on harvesting or your
research on polar bears – it was the positions you’ve taken on global
warming that brought opposition.
Time will tell who is correct but the scientific literature is not on the
side of those arguing against human induced climate change.
I look forward to having someone else chair the PBSG.
Best regards,

Global warming propaganda and politics wins out over science and real research and this is not the only example in Joanne Nova’s excellent paper. Is this the future of science in the world, where only tight and rigid adherence to the core dogma that everything must by looked at through the AGW lens? If so science has reverted back to the days when the Holy Roman Empire required all science to be approved by the Pope as to avoid any heresy.
People be aware that science is being usurped by a political agenda and these are peers and committees that speak for groups of scientists and the same peer reviewers that lend credence to the AGW proponents "science" ( something I think is silly and false) and show that the politics have corrupted the existing science and any future research.
