Those who reject the 97% expert consensus on human-caused global warming often evoke Galileo as an example of when the scientific minority overturned the majority view. Among those capable of indulging this gambit, mere opposition to their crankery alone may be sufficient to induce the belief that they are being persecuted and, hence, were right all along.

The stage is set for a modern historical mock trial of Galileo's original heresy charges, commemorating the 400th anniversary of the legendary event. In fact, before Newton (and curiously the vortex theorists) none of the extant tidal theories explained the two tides per day. For example, a fallacious arguer may claim that "bears are animals, and bears are dangerous; therefore your dog, which is also an animal, must be dangerous.

FIRELAN was developed as a model expected to foster the resilience to fire and sustainability of a landscape that is based on a number of premises about fire behaviour.

This involves claiming in some way that Galileo was persecuted for his theories, although he was proved right in the long run. Unfortunately it would also result in only one tide per day – which minor problem Galileo overcame with a bit of hand waving.

Indigenous knowledge production and dissemination is an essential feature to get a better insight into Global South countries. With hidden agendas emerging from the shadows and help materializing from the most unexpected sources, loyalties are put to the ultimate test. However, the selective reporting of cases where people who were persecuted or ostracized for beliefs and ideas that later turned out to be valid has instilled a confidence in woo promoters and pseudoscientists that is difficult to shake.
