I move:
The Senate notes that:
(a) valid scientific data proving cause-and-effect is vital as the only credible justification for policies claimed to be based on science;
(b) the following are often used today in our communities as substitutes for science, yet are not science:
(i) populist views and anecdotes about weather events,
(ii) short-term perspectives of cycles out of context,
(iii) unsubstantiated claims of 'having the science',
(iv) name calling,
(v) claims of consensus,
(vi) so-called peer-reviewed literature,
(vii) appeals to authority,
(viii) academic fallacies, and
(ix) emotional claims or statements; and
(c) the ultimate arbiter of science is empirical scientific evidence, being:
(i) objectively verified hard data as physical measurements and/or physical observations, and
(ii) presented in a logical framework proving cause and effect.
