Facts are the Air – Update: CRU Director Steps Down

by Eric on December 1st, 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I stumbled across this quote, and I love it. It fits the whole “ClimateGate” issue going on. Read it, understand it:

Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise.

– Ivan Pavlov, Russian physiologist (1849-1936)

UPDATE (2:51 P.M.): Just saw on Fox News that Phil Jones, the Director of the Climatic Research Unit in the U.K. that was involved with the leaked e-mails, is stepping down pending an investigation that he overstated the case for man-made climate change. Well, how about that?
