How "global warming" alarmism endangers legitimate science.

It's all too clear that the politicizing of "global warming" by the constant drum beating of alarmism, and the lock-step insistence on the cause being anthropogenic corrupts legitimate science.

Noteworthy:

Noted physicist Freeman Dyson....

"...all the fuss about global warming is grossly exaggerated. Here I am opposing the holy brotherhood of climate model experts and the crowd of deluded citizens who believe the numbers predicted by the computer models. ... I have studied the climate models and I know what they can do. ... They do a very poor job of describing the clouds, the dust, the chemistry and the biology of fields and farms and forests. They do not begin to describe the real world that we live in."

The article mentions the DDT nonsense, and the BSE ("Mad Cow") farce. To that list I would add the overhyhped Avian flu pandemic talk of a few years ago.

History is full of examples of pathological science. The "scientific consensus on anthropogeenic global warming" is just the most recent, but I warrant it won't be the last.
