There 's been a bit of a buzz in Australia of late about the lack of debate around Greenhouse emissions and global warming.
Scatch media
Apparently the problem here is that dissident voices are silenced. That is what people are saying.
Now you might think that means the CSIRO scientists are not allowed to speak out against the Howard Government's Greenhouse policy. Nope, it means that those who disagree with the scientific consensus on global warming are being stifled by political correctness.
I read it in an op.ed. in todays Australian Financial Review. Serious.
It was written by a Garth Paltridge, an emeritus professor at the University of Tasmania,and a former Director of the Antartic Co-operative Research Centre. He hangs out with this crowd. His complaint is hard to take seriously when the CSIRO is to reallocate $11.8 million of its research funds to kick-start a major mining research program, which also aims to boost the social acceptability of uranium mining.
