On the heels of what I just posted about global warming comes another piece on the subject.  Bill Hahn tells us of Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu, a top climate scientist who fears that science will lose credibility once the public learns the truth about climate change.   Writes  Hahn:

According to Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu, the founding director of the
International Arctic Research Center of the University of Alaska
Fairbanks, global warming data often quoted by the media and government officials should not be used to attribute global warming to man.

In an online exclusive for The New American
magazine, Dr. Akasofu, one of the "1,000 Most Cited Scientists," is
"concerned about the inevitable backlash against science and
scientists, when the public eventually learns the correct information
about climate change," and requests the International Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) make an appropriate statement to clear up the confusion
before the next G8 meeting being held in May.

He should be concerned.  Scientists are much like journalists in that they have the responsibility to deliver the truth in as unbiased a way as is humanly possible.  When they violate this trust and place their talents in the service of agendas, they do violence to their field of endeavor.  They also harm their fellow man.

The climate-change-huckster "scientists" who have allowed themselves to be bought with government grant money should be ashamed of themselves.  Such people are to be despised.
