"denial of the existence of global warming, or denial of the truth of evolution? The space race is a product of movie special effects? The earth is flat? It is difficult for me to imagine my believing such. Do they deserve a hearing?"
Some of these are obviousily very ridiculous but yes it is a real problem giving controversial issues a hearing, for example alot of educational resources have been created and taught to students on the existence of global warming based on the impact of human carbon emissions. >From an education point alot has been politically and personally invested in this premise based on IPCC data but yet only recently as I'm sure many of you are aware there has been the "Climategate" controversy whereby the British Climatic Research Unit's computers at the University of East Anglia where hacked. From this emails and documents have been published which show IPCC endorsed scientists engaged in the the falsification and destruction of data and vindication of "sceptical scientists" with data contrary to the global warming hypothesis. i.e the science is most definitely not closed. See: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/British_Climatic_Research_Unit%27s_emails_hacked Climategate: Dr. Tim Ball on the hacked CRU emails - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydo2Mwnwpac Does this deserve a hearing? Yes most definatley otherwise an education wiki becomes non objective and counter to the aims of educating people into the area of indoctrination. Yes a real problem despite it being difficult to imagine.
