To clarify, I have not defended a single one of Carlinsky's claims. For
all I know he is 100% wrong. All I have been saying is that we should evaluate
his claims without resorting to character assassination.
Let's take a single claim of Carlinsky's from this article. Carlinsky claims
that DeMeo's cloudbusting operations in Arizona had grave ecological impacts
in introducing large amounts of unseasonable rain to a fragile desert
eco-system.
Well, was this the case? Is there any documentation of the
effect of large amounts of unseasonable rain in that region in the past?
What were the effects? Was this researched by the cloudbusting team
prior to starting operations there? Were there ecological impact studies
performed before and after the cloudbusting operations? What did they
find? If they were not performed, why not?
These seem like perfectly reasonable questions that can be confirmed or
disconfirmed empirically, without resorting to name-calling nonsense.
