English Scientists
It is interesting how deeply connected every academic discipline truly is. English professors know how to be good scientists because every discipline, when it is at its purest, is a pursuit of the Truth, and when you pursue the Truth, there are certain protocol to follow, such as refusing to gloss over too many inconsistent details. It is a shame that "An Inconvenient Truth" is the "flagship" defense of global warming because I am greatly concerned about the environment and how human beings have a duty to be stewards to our future. However, the movie and many of those who champion the cause of Global Warming do exactly what we know should not be done: glossing over too many inconsistent details. I want the Truth, not an over-hyped PowerPoint presentation that is reminiscent of a ninth-grade science fair project.
