Tri Richard Lindzen,Yhdysvaltojen arvostetuimman teknillisen korkeakoulun MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) ilmastotieteen professori sanoo,että vaikka ymmärryksemme ilmaston tieteestä on vielä "primitiivistä", media esittää alarmistit
"kaikkitietävinä". Sama media pelotteli aikoinaan tyyliin "miljardit voivat kuolla" mm. aids:sta,lintuinfluenssasta,SARS:ista,Ebolasta, hullun lehmän taudista, "milleniun bug"´ista jne. Äsken edesmennyt tiedekirjailija,Harvardin lääkäri ja antropologi Michael Crichton ilmaisi saman "ihmiskunnan tarpeella kehittää uhkakuvia" ja tuomitessaan teoksessaan "State of Fear" ilmastopelottelun "ympäristöjärjestöjen salaliitoksi",perustanaan kolmen vuoden tutkimukset alasta ja

"For at least a decade, intimately connected with energy use, have been claims on climate change. Richard Lindzen, arguably the world 's most renowned climate scientist, describes our understanding of the science of climate as "primitive." Yet many in the media persist in treating alarmist "climate experts" as "all-knowing." But then the same media have a long history of taking up "end is nigh" scaremongering. It's good for ratings. We have had a litany of warnings that "billions could die" when AIDS, Avian flu, SARS, Ebola, mad cow disease, the millennium bug -- the list is endless -- hit the headlines. When they didn't of course, media alarmists shrugged, claimed they "simply report the facts" and moved on to warn about the next looming disaster"

Will climate change spread disease?
VastaaPoista"Lafferty's paper caused such a furore among its reviewers that the editor handling it, Ken Wilson of Lancaster University in the UK, commissioned a series of responses arguing both sides of the debate to publish alongside it.
--
Most of the ecologists do, however, seem to agree on one point: predicting where a disease is going to go next involves far more than just climate.
No matter how the debate is resolved, they all agree that health concerns should continue to play a critical role in climate policy, and the debate shouldn't be regarded as weakening the case for action on global warming."

Kyllä,kirjoitin tuolla hieman aiemmin samasta ja annoin linkin tutkimukseen !
VastaaPoistaLindzen on siis meteorologian professori, ei ilmastotutkimuksen. T. Janne
