You know that the jig is up when the Great Scare- whose name we hardly dare utter because we're all going to burn- is relegated to a joke that doesn't even need explaining.
Private companies already offer solutions to protecting data systems. “Data-at-rest” and “data-in-motion” programs look for anomalies in emails and other data moving through networks or resting on hard drives. SIM (security information management) software tracks network intrusions. It’s pretty good, the way climatology is pretty good.
When Daniel Henninger, deputy editor of the Wall St Journal, was looking for an example of something that doesn’t work well, he thought of climatology.
Of course the fanatics will keep on believing it's getting hotter as the ice sheets expand over Europe and the people on the gravy train will keep getting their grants and having their nice carbon-free trips to resorts in pretty places for the annual UN talkfests, but the media are now seeing that it's all been a massive con job.
And maybe in another twenty or thirty years the word science will once again be able to be equated to truth and integrity- or maybe not.
