d above sums up the state of "climate science" today.

No, it doesn't, unless by using climate science in quotes you mean
something other than scientific study of the climate.


Dorinda Outram provides a good example of a standard, intellectual
definition of the Enlightnment:

"Enlightenment was a desire for human affairs to be guided by
rationality rather than by faith, superstition, or revelation; a belief
in the power of human reason to change society and liberate the
individual from the restraints of custom or arbitrary authority; all
backed up by a world view increasingly validated by science rather than
by religion or tradition."

I see no reason to coddle these people anymore.


kT fails the course!
