CAN YOU TRUST A SCIENTIST?

Further to an earlier post and after the recent revelations about MP's expenses, the question is - who can you trust? This article puts the spotlight on scientists with serious doubts emerging about their trustworthyness. The answer is that we should not give any group unquestioning trust. We must be sceptical of everything controversial and ask for evidence. If (like Michael Mann of Hockey-stick infamy!) they refuse to publish all their data then we must conclude that their results are not to be trusted at all.
