Al Gore's Attempt to Suppress Science
In case you haven't noticed, there are scientists who disagree with Al Gore's beliefs about global warming.
In case you haven't noticed, Gore tries to smear any scientist who disagrees with him.
Gore's smear campaign against scientists isn't new. Gore was trying to smear scientists back when he was a U.S. Senator and when he was Vice-President.
One scientist who was targeted for smearing is Dr. S. Fred Singer, an atmospheric physicist at George Mason University.
Dr. Singer writes about the attempt to smear him in a chapter of a book titled Politicizing Science: The Alchemy of Policymaking (link) . Singer's chapter is titled "The Revelle-Gore Story: Attempted Political Suppression of Science" (link) .
Here are the first two paragraphs from the chapter:
This is a personal account linking efforts to suppress scientific publication about climate science and policy by then-Senator (later vice president) Al Gore and his staff. In those efforts, an individual working closely with Senator Gore and his staff made false and damaging statements about my behavior as a scientist. I filed a libel suit against the individual. The suit was settled when he issued a retraction and apology that included a statement that members of Senator Gore's staff had made "similar statements and insinuations" to those that he retracted.
Vice President Al Gore also tried to influence at least one TV news anchor to carry out an investigation designed to discredit those who disagreed with his personal views about climate change. His effort failed because of the newsman's integrity.
In the section of his story titled "Final Reflections", Singer writes the following about Al Gore:
He appears to believe that those who disagree with him are part of some vast industry-led conspiracy, and his ego will not entertain the thought that his opposition really is just a group of individuals and small organiztions led by people whose motivation is something other than financial gain.
It is quite understandable that Al Gore would try to smear scientists who disagree with him. After all, those scientists are revealing truths that are inconvenient to Al Gore's mission . . . and to Al Gore's ego.

Ann Coulter's "Godless" has an excellent refutation of Darwinism (not necessarily evolution) and how it is almost a cult-like religion.
She also outlines how most scientists (since the discovery of DNA) no longer believe in accidental mutations but are shunned in the media and by educrats.
It's a very interesting read!
