The Politics of Science: The Muzzling of Dissent

The Wall Street Journal printed an op-ed today by an MIT scientist who alleges that his climate-related research has been sandbagged when it disagrees with conventional "alarmist" scientific theory on global warming. He presents a well-documented yet accessible overview of the issues in question and levels some pretty strong charges at global warming propenents.

I haven't heard much besides bombast from both sides of this issue so I haven't had a strong opinion on it, but this cleared up a lot of things for me. It's a must read.
