Science Daily "Your source for the lastest research news" on Climate Change (scientific papers which have just been published in the likes of Nature, Science, Geophysical Papers): http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/earth_climate/climate/
I believe that there will be some at least who would like to know what David Miliband (the UK Environment Secretary for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) has to say about The Great Global Warming Swindle.
Below I have set out what Defra scientists say about the 11 main allegations in the programme.
ie. the above link.
quote:
I am convinced well beyond reasonable doubt that the swindle is not being perpetrated by the vast, vast majority of scientists in the world. There will always be people with conspiracy theories trying to do down the scientific consensus, and that is part of scientific and democratic debate, but the science of climate change looks like fact to me. If the effect of the programme, instead of making people think, is in fact to make them disregard the accepted science (in other words stop thinking) then that would be a real swindle.
Who would have thought so many "issue" sites, environment sites and, yes, government sites, could be hosting so much utter garbage on a topic subject to such intense scrutiny? Who could have imagined having to spend several hours wading through searches to find a few simple graphics correctly expressing the greenhouse effect? Who knew that so many blowhards are out there pontificating from complete ignorance?
How likely is that to be true? I'm not saying you shouldn't visit that site, but beware, it has a story behind it:
"junkman," Steven Milloy. ... Milloy denies ever having been a lobbyist. However, he shows up in 1997 federal lobbyist registration data with lobbying expenditures on his behalf, indicating his firm, the EOP Group, considered him an active lobbyist. The same federal records indicate Milloy represented the American Petroleum Institute, FMC Corp, Fort Howard, International Food Additives Council, and Monsanto. (Center for Responsive Politics, Lobbyist Database) According to the Washington Representatives, Milloy was still registered as a lobbyist with the EOP Group in 1999, with the American Petroleum Institute and FMC Corp listed as clients.
JunkScience.com is a website maintained by Steven J. Milloy, an adjunct scholar the Cato Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute - right wing think tanks with long histories of denying environmental problems at the behest of the corporations which fund them. Milloy is also a columnist for FoxNews.com.
You could search those sites for Steve Milloy too...
