War Over Arsenic Based Life

Antipater writes "Slashdot readers may remember the announcement and ensuing controversy six months ago over the NASA discovery of microbes that can supposedly incorporate arsenic into their DNA. Now, The Washington Post reports that Science has published a collection of eight scathing critiques of astrobiologist Felisa Wolfe-Simon, her methods, and her conclusions. Wolfe-Simon is starting to fire back and gather her own allies — one wonders if we're in for another cold-fusion style science war."

Re:Where are the scathing critiques of climatology

That is because climatology is a religion, not a science. Those who speak out against its generally falsified findings are vilified by the political left and held up as the anti-Christ (with Al Gore, of course, being Christ himself).

Climatology has no credibility and is not worth the time to debunk. It is flawed by inspection, like saying 1 + 1 = 4.

Your wit is scalding. Now how about learing some facts, so you can use it to some useful end? Starting point: The scientific community does not give a rats arse about Al Gore or the left. Don't burn yourself on those strawmen.
