Attacks on climate scientists are the real ‘climategate’
Posted: November 24, 2011 Filed under: durban climate talks Leave a comment »See the Guardian environment blog for Stephan Lewandowsky’s forceful argument that climate scientists’ emails are not a scandal but the attacks on those scientists and a growing anti-science movement are.
he reviews the lack of eveidence that any previous charges levelled at climate scientists were justified:
‘These real climategates are the tip of an iceberg of venality enveloping anti-science interests and their enablers.
And just a few hours ago, another illegal release of personal emails among scientists was dumped on to the world in the lead-up to the next climate conference in Durban. First Copenhagen, now Durban. When the science is so rock solid that it can no longer be reasonably doubted, all that is left is to steal private correspondence in a desperate attempt to disparage those who are trying to protect the world from the risks it is facing.’
