Lobotomies: “Moniz advised extreme caution in using lobotomy, and felt it should only be used in cases where everything else had been tried. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on lobotomy in 1949. He retired early after a former patient paralyzed him by shooting him in the back. ” Well he got the Nobel Prize for it, does that make it correct then?

Now we look back at these practices and say how stupid that was. Because we now know much more then we did before. I wonder how Global Warming is going to play out in 10-20 years when we know more about climate, the sun, atmospherics, etc.

Lobotomy is still an accepted treatement for some illneses as is the use of medical leaches for wound care. (Of course that is entirely irellevant and a complete non sequitor to climate science).

However, you may want to paint with a smaller brush.
