The history of science is not a mere record of isolated discoveries; it is a narrative of the conflict of two contending powers, the expansive force of the human intellect on one side, and the compression arising from traditionary faith and human interest on the other.
Science must constantly be reminded that her purposes are not the only purposes and that the order of uniform causation which she has use for may be enveloped in a wider order.
Science cannot be ignored or rejected, because it is bound up with modern technique; it is essential alike to prosperity in peace and to victory in war.

 CO2 Science
The authors examined contemporaneous records of atmospheric CO concentration and temperature derived from Antarctic ice cores that extended back in time through the last three glacial-interglacial transitions.
So what is one to believe?  Theoretical predictions or historical fact?  The choice of wisdom would appear to us to be history.  It has an uncanny way of repeating itself.

 Introduction to Measurements- Developer Zone - National Instruments
Measurement is the science of extracting meaningful information about the real world.
A physical quantity related to something in our real world is translated to data that can be seen, heard or in some other way communicated to a human being or to a machine, such as a computer.
Together with the science of extracting the information, is the art of choosing which information to extract, how to extract it, and how to interpret it.
