![]() Headlines you won't see in Al Gore's United States Originally posted in London by the The Global Warming Policy Foundation at http://www.thegwpf.org/ Rebel Scientists Force Royal Society To Accept Climate Scepticism Britain’s premier scientific institution is being forced to review its statements on climate change after a rebellion by members who question mankind’s contribution to rising temperatures. --Ben Webster, The Times, 29 May 2010 Sir Alan Rudge, a society Fellow and former member of the Government’s Scientific Advisory Committee, is one of the leaders of the rebellion who gathered signatures on a petition sent to Lord Rees, the society president. He told The Times that the society had adopted an “unnecessarily alarmist position” on climate change. --Ben Webster, The Times, 29 May 2010 I think the Royal Society should be more neutral and welcome credible contributions from both sceptics and alarmists alike. There is a lot of science to be done before we can be certain about climate change and before we impose upon ourselves the huge economic burden of cutting emissions. --Sir Alan Rudge, The Times, 29 May 2010 The most prestigious group of scientists in the country was forced to act after fellows complained that doubts over man made global warming were not being communicated to the public. In particular they were unhappy that the long term effects of greenhouse gases were being oversimplified. Lord Martin Rees, President of the Royal Society, admitted that the case for man-made global warming has been exaggerated in the past. --Louise Gray, The Daily Telegraph, 29 May 2010 Benny Peiser of the Global Warming Policy Foundation said it was about time the sceptics were taken more seriously. "I think it is a very significant development in that it is no longer one or two eccentrics but a wide group of fellows so it is taken more seriously – as it should be," he said. "I think it is very wise to accept that while the basic science is solid, we have no idea what is going to happen in the future." --Louise Gray, The Daily Telegraph, 29 May 2010 Why won't American media report such things? The ones that won't are controlled by biased climate alarmist Obama followers, of course. |
