Dos interesante artículos del Wall Street Journal de estos dos últimos días sobre el Climategate. Recomiendo leer ambos. Destaco un par de párrafos de cada uno (las negritas son mías):
Climategate: Follow the Money
De Bret Stephens
Consider the case of Phil Jones, the director of the CRU and the man at the heart of climategate. According to one of the documents hacked from his center, between 2000 and 2006 Mr. Jones was the recipient (or co-recipient) of some $19 million worth of research grants, a sixfold increase over what he’d been awarded in the 1990s.
Climate change researchers must believe in the reality of global warming just as a priest must believe in the existence of God.
The Climate Science Isn’t Settled
De Richard S. Lindzen, profesor de meteorología del MIT
Claims that climate change is accelerating are bizarre. There is general support for the assertion that GATA has increased about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit since the middle of the 19th century. The quality of the data is poor, though, and because the changes are small, it is easy to nudge such data a few tenths of a degree in any direction. Several of the emails from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU) that have caused such a public ruckus dealt with how to do this so as to maximize apparent changes.
Lo más indignante es que los medios españoles siguen sin decir absolutamente nada de esto. Menudo país.
