An observation and request

I wish to request that the title of the Lemon Fool board: "Science incorporating climate change discussion" be altered to simply: Science

IMO "climate change discussion" - which in reality always seems to largely mean politically motivated 'scepticism' (aka Denialism) - should itself move to the optimistically named: "Polite Discussions" where in reality it best fits - i.e. in Politics.

This would hopefully prepare the way to leave the Science board free from politics for people just interested in matters of science.

Seconded.

I've stopped looking at Science board because of the recent threads.

At the risk of turning the science board into a quiet backwater, i would support this move. I think I have now read enough of the debate to see that it is just polemicised argument where nobody is really interested in what the other side thinks.
