Its shameless how governments around the world and media are promoting the global warming issue. This is a science issue, yet arguments are being shifted and used by politicians and collectivists to achieve their political ends. There is no crisis, unless of course you are referring to the disturbing misuse of science for political ends. This is of course not the first time. In the 1970s it was asteroids striking earth, in the 1980s it was a 'Mini-Ice Age'. What this highlights is not simply the fact that media and government have some vested interest in some scare to create a new tax, to sell more newspapers, to placate the reader, but an underlying lack of critical thinking skills by all concerned. The greatest threat is that people will lose confidence in reason as a standard of value because it was wrong again on scientific assertions. Of course the problem is 'science is not a popularity contest'. The truth is destined to lie with the few scientists who challenge convention. That is historically how the world progresses. The Einstein's of the world, not typically science committees are what moves the world. Refer to http://paleoclimatechange.blogspot.com.

The judiciary is the most important institution in Western democracy, yet just like the other arms of government, it is improperly conceived or framed. Reason is not the standard of value in the judiciary, just as it is not in the executive and legislative arms of government. The failure of participants to provide reasoned outcomes is a product of flawed philosophical values. The problems which manifest from these values is referred to as 'judicial activism', the notion that judges are stepping outside of their 'standing'. Nothing could be further from the truth. refer to www.judicialanalytics.com.
