Playing With Dust…….

No, I’m not mutating into that crazy “Christian” lady from Trading Spouses. At least not yet.

I’m watching with interest the lead up to the Copenhagen climate summit next month - and in particular, the full on assault by those with vested interests on the science of climate change. The recent theft of emails - and very selective publishing of email conversations between climate scientists at the University of East Anglia - is the first serious attempt at the discrediting of climate science. And sadly, a very effective one - it has been extremely disheartening to see climate science getting a pummelling, especially in media outlets which would be less than favourable to acceptance that climate change is ongoing.

Flicking across the TV tonight, I came across a news report on Russia Today - the Kremlin’s foreign mouthpiece these days - in which they attempted to but the boot in on climate science, and on man-made global warming. When you remember that Russia is a major producer of oil and gas - and something its economy is highly dependent on - you can see where this ‘editorial guidance’ is coming from.

Strong, vested interests will try to nobble attempts at mitigating the effects of climate change by reducing carbon emissions - it is up to us, as scientists, to provide the public with the unvarnished truth on climate change, in order to highlight how seriously fucked we really are.

I’m sick of this - it is time to stand up to the vested interests (and to those “scientists” in the pay of those vested interests). Are you up for the fight?
