Search Results: personal journals

Whenever the subject of climate change arises, invariable young people will say that scientists must be trusted. Unfortunately, scientists sometimes lie. Maybe they are lazy and simply fabricate research "results;" maybe they have some unspoken pressures to produce certain results; or maybe they simply have a personal bias that they want to support with "research" results.

Research studies are published in journals that are read by other researchers in the field, and others rely on the published research when they design and analyze their own research. Errors or lies in one study can be perpetuated and infect subsequent research, so the validity of data should always be open to scrutiny instead of the question being shouted down.

So, do you think research should be blindly accepted or should it be carefully scrutinized and examined for bias or intentional error?
