e-mails of climate scientists "is not a scandal, but it was the attacks on scientists and a growing number of anti-science movement, said Stephan Lewandowsky
emailsClimatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, were broadcast on the Internet again. The weather is similar to the "Climategate" scandal of 2009, with the emails published on the eve of a major climate conference of the UN. Does this mean that science is in question? On the contrary, says Stephan Lewandowsky.
An ambulance stops behind you. You know it's an ambulance because the ambulance can not be read in your rearview mirror. But you can read when you look at the vehicle directly, because the human visual system has the ability to quickly fix the right to full or left to reverse letters. In fact, a complete reversal is easy to read the letters turned only in part.
The human capacity to deal with the distortions of investment faster only partially complete, unfortunately, lends itself to the ruthless exploitation of propagandists who seek to create an imaginary world where up is down, the left to right and right is smeared as evil.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the underworld attacks on climate scientists.
remember "Climategate"? The trick illegal personal emails released just before the climate conference in Copenhagen in 2009 that some columnists is pronounced like the (about 132) "last nail in the coffin" of global warming
Remember the "errors" in 2007 the IPCC report? "Amazongate", "Himalayagate" and so on?
What happened to "Climategate"?
What happens is this.
First, the science, the British Parliament and the Technology Committee exempt scientists from the center of the storm, Professor Phil Jones, saying "no pending case" and that reputation " remains intact. "
Then Lord Oxburgh (former chairman of Shell, UK) and his group also exempt investigators, looking for his "work was done with integrity, and that allegations of deliberate falsification" " invalid ".
other research, chaired by Sir Muir Russell, the scientists found that "rigor and honesty" beyond any doubt.
two surveys as a university professor also cleared from Michael Mann - who filed the first of many now "hockey stick" graph -. Of all complaints
Finally, the government (Conservative) in the UK concluded that "the information contained in emails illegally released provides no evidence to discredit ... anthropogenic climate change. "
No one, not two, but now claims nine years.
It's not a surprise to anyone, including a familiarity with the distinction between private conversation and public action.
What happened to the IPCC "Whatevergates"
What happens is this.
- Then, the Dutch government has accepted responsibility for the IPCC report erroneously that 55% of the Netherlands is below sea level. In fact, only 26% are at risk of flooding because they are below sea level, while the other 29% are wrong, the risk of flooding rivers.
And a year after "Climategate" broke out, the BBC has finally apologized to the University of East Anglia for their misleading coverage of the "Climategate" pseudo-scandal.
All that remains of the "Whatevergates" is red-faced apology and certainly the IPCC error: incorrect projection of the disappearance of glaciers in the Himalayas in 2035, compared to the 2350 more likely. This error was brought to public attention, wait, one of the authors of the IPCC. Can we now forget the "door" in relation to the "climate"?
