Science is a powerful human endeavor for exploring the unknown; it includes a dynamic balance between the stabilizing influence of intellectual inertia and the destabilizing role of innovation and creativity. The term “intellectual inertia”, which is used but rarely defined, is explored and some historical examples of its formidable influence on the conduct of science included. Climate change science is viewed as having an unavoidable excess of intellectual inertia, and some suggestions are forwarded for moderating the excessive influence of this intellectual inertia.
