Climategate: o pior escândalo científico de nossa geração

domingo, novembro 29, 2009

NOTA IMPERTINENTE DESTE BLOGGER:

A Grande Mídia tupiniquim está 'suavizando' este escândalo de corrupção entre os cientistas. Dois pesos, duas medidas: fosse um teórico do Design Inteligente envolvido, a GMT cairia de pau sem dó nem piedade [sei do que estou falando], e com manchetes de primeira página, editorial na Folha de São Paulo, y otras cositas mais.

Lá na Inglaterra parece que a mídia está tendo outro comportamento e prática de jornalismo objetivo: chamando os cientistas corruptos de corruptos e escândalo de escândalo.

A GMT recebe comunicados à imprensa como este que nem o blogger aqui...

"NÃO DAMOS ESPAÇO!!!"

Climate change: this is the worst scientific scandal of our generation

A week after my colleague James Delingpole, on his Telegraph blog, coined the term "Climategate" to describe the scandal revealed by the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, Google was showing that the word now appears across the internet more than nine million times. But in all these acres of electronic coverage, one hugely relevant point about these thousands of documents has largely been missed.

The reason why even the Guardian's George Monbiot has expressed total shock and dismay at the picture revealed by the documents is that their authors are not just any old bunch of academics. Their importance cannot be overestimated, What we are looking at here is the small group of scientists who have for years been more influential in driving the worldwide alarm over global warming than any others, not least through the role they play at the heart of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
