This is unbeleiveable: “Public scepticism prompts Science Museum to rename climate exhibition“. Talk about putting the cart before the horse!

I had always thought the Science Museum’s function was to tell the public about science. It’s incredibly craven of the Science Museum to allow itself to be told what the science is by the public. I mean, you might have thought they would ask the scientists (who, by the way, are overwhelmingly of the view that climate change is a serious and immediate threat) wouldn’t you?

As one of the commenters quite rightly says, “we are pumping CO2 into the atmosphere, and CO2 causes warming. Basic physics, known for a hundred years … It’s up to climate ’sceptics’ to show why this CO2 isn’t causing warming “, i.e. not vice versa!

Pandering to minority views like this is the worst kind of relativism. When an institution like the Science Museum doesn’t have the courage of its convictions it’s no wonder nothing significant is getting done.

Watch this space for the Natural History taking a “neutral stance” on whether evolution happened or not.
