How we fool ourselves. Part III: Social biases—Judith Curry on Climate etc..https://judithcurry.com/2021/04/25/how-we-fool-ourselves-part-iii-social-biases/
Part I in this series addressed logical fallacies. Part II addressed biases associated with a consensus building process. Part IT'S addresses the role of social conflicts and biases.
Additional biases are triggered by social conflict between an individual’s responsibility for responsible conduct of research, and the larger ethical issues associated with the well-being of the public and the environment. Further, social biases are triggered by careerist goals, loyalty to one’s colleagues and institutional loyalties.
