May the ghost of Feynman smite you


I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.'" The implication, or rather attempted implication of that quote is that Feynman would frown on climate scientists' declaration of an "unequivocal" link between human activity and global warming. Looking at it from a slightly different angle - and Feynman discussed it in these terms as well--pseudo-science is also rejecting a proof that contradicts a preconceived hypothesis (e.g., "global warming is not caused by humans") - again, not allowing the "answer" to be questioned. The environmental destruction advocacy condemns the conclusion that "human activity unequivocally contributes to global warming" because it appears to be, well, unequivocal.
