Long time reader, first time writer. I studied science all through college. Every experiment I could remember I fudged the results so that they matched what was expected. The only time I was ever called out on this type of dishonesty was in a literature class. I was comparing two books and drawing parallels between the two eras in which they were written. The professor noted that I glossed over too many inconsistant details [I did] in reaching my conclusion and accordingly knocked me down a grade. I had to take an english class to learn about scientific integrity. Who'da thunk it?
PS Its good to read that you think An Inconvenient Truth is a piece of sensationalist garbage too.
It's your chance to follow me around like a herd of freshman at a varsity football game. Just make sure you are home by curfew. Follow Tony on Twitter!
