Shunning the unbelievers:
“MITCHELL Taylor is a Polar Bear researcher who has caught more polar bears and worked on more polar bear groups than any other, but he was effectively ostracized from the Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) specifically because he has publicly expressed doubts that there is a crisis due to carbon dioxide emissions.
“Dr Andy Derocher, the outgoing chairman of the PSBG and Professor at the University of Alberta, wrote to inform Taylor that he was not welcome at the 2009 meeting of the PBSG.
“Keep in mind as you read his comments (below) that Taylor had arranged funding to attend the meeting in Copenhagen, and has been at every meeting of this group since 1981. With 30 years of experience in polar bear research, it goes without saying that he has something to contribute to any discussion about polar bear conservation. This is the original email from Derocher to Taylor explaining why he was not invited:
Earth going into a cooling period, no polar bear crisis…the green cultists are going to double down in Denmark before it’s too late.
hmmmmm . . . somebody can’t handle the truth, so they just deny its existence.
New Age Science, the kind that keeps telling us that the Science is settled.
Or in this case, just ignored.
science is as much about questions as it is about answers, if no questions are asked, no answers are needed, and the “belief” will give all the “answers” you will need to live a good socialist life
from the link:
“Nothing I heard had to do with your science”
in other words the short shrift was ALL, repeat for emphasis, ALL political.
are we in a new dark age or sumptin? all this political correctness swirling about.
perception perception, image image image paramount. screw facts, just cluck the common belief and everything will be fine. otherwise you get shouted down or in Mitch Taylor’s case, locked out.
still, I envy him having had a whole career studying those wonderful animals the polar bear.
Unclean! UNCLEAN!!
It will all boil down to the Conservative government accepting the Global warming “Cap and Trade” as proposed by the US. It will be interesting how the Conservatives will make those of us who “question” Global Warming/Climate Change to keep us quiet. Wonder what more evidance is needed …. the past eight years hsve been getting cooler …. other than the UN reports.
Well, when the first politician says that Global Warming/Climate Change is a money grab, which will probably loose the enviroMENTAList vote, but will get my vote.
It is scary that the government would not send an expert to the meeting but instead send a supporter of the government of Canada’s stance on Global Warming/Climate Change. Eather way China and India will get our billions … and they will continue to pollute more than ever.
I wish the enviroMENTALists would get rid of their driver’s licences and heaters in their homes and practice what they preach. In the long run, they do more to destroy the enviroment than ordinary Canadians. (Example: Dr. Fruitfly driving across Canada in a polluting bus and flying using more pollution.)
There is just no doubt that the inmates are running the asylum. Carbon trading and massive tax increases will save the planet. Good grief. Good thing the world will end in 2012. Buy that Hummer now while you still can.
Scientists are human, just like everyone else. Therefore there are scientists who are corrupted by money and directives from the government that funds them.
Some are so corrupt they renounce the actual scientific method which requires admission of all research and observations, even if they contradict one’s pet hypothesis.
The lone shunned polar bear expert is Galileo, but the other scientists have their consensus (like believing the sun circles the earth) and we all know how that turned out.
How many more times do we need to read this email posted countless times before?
How many more times do we need to read this email posted countless times before?
Until the koolaid drinkers actually get the message. I would imagine about half as many times as the MSM has told us the polars bears are in trouble.
About another million times should do it.

This is not science!
Dr. D’s e-mail is
derocher@ualberta.ca
I have sent him an e-mail questioning his moral and professional integrity with the following link to Joanna Nova’s article:

Perhaps a few of you would like to do the same to show Dr.D that academics do not operate in a vacuum outside the scrutiny of the public.
