The fundamental problem with climate science today is simple.

No governments are funding skeptic research. That's just bad science.

Job 1 in any scientific theory is to devise ways to challenge it and the best challenges won't ever come from those that already believe current theory.

With the vast majority of research dollars on climate coming from government and governments effectively freezing out all skeptical research, you can't help but end up in an echo chamber.

It would be like having almost all government research dollars on alternative energy going to solar for 30 years. Pretty soon, you could say, "90% of alternative energy scientists say Solar is the best choice"

This is a great post! I've actually started referring to climate science as climate orthodoxy as the rules for dissent have become progressively less scientific and more religious in nature.
