On a pragmatic level, I'm ok with it. But i'm very disappointed
   in the politics of it through the years. Very disappointed. It
   tainted my view of the practice of working science tremendously
   since I first heard stuff from scientists complaining on Usenet
   in the early 90s that they HAD to modify their studies to
   include greenhouse gas, or "as it relates to the ozone layer" or
   "as it relates to global warming"... even if the study had
   nothing to do with it.

   It was a practical matter for funding. The politics of the
   people who provided the funding were the hippies-gone-corporate
   and it's their time.

   And, I'm ultimately ok with it and really, it's a politics I
   'tend towards' [be good to the earth type stuff].

   But still, anybody who claims objectivity and the glory of
   science just leaves me shaking my head. Ideals are fine but it's
   what people do that counts.*

   just full honesty.
