Why The CSIRO Can't Be Trusted


November 5 2009



Emeritus Professor Garth Paltridge won't be surprised that the CSIRO has now
banned a scientist from publishing a paper showing the KRudd Government's
emissions trading scheme won't work.



As he wrote last year:



"I HEAR on the scientific grapevine that CSIRO's biggest problem when
providing formal advice to the federal Government on the matter of climate
change is to say nothing that can be interpreted as giving aid and comfort
to the army of irresponsible sceptics out there who are doubtful about the
dreadful consequences of global warming. "



But Paltridge warns that self-censorship is an even greater danger:



"Basically, the problem is that the research community has gone so far along
the path of frightening the life out of the man in the street that to recant
publicly even part of the story would massively damage the reputation and
political clout of science in general. And so, like corpuscles in the blood,
researchers all over the world now rush in overwhelming numbers to repel
infection by any idea that threatens the carefully cultivated belief in
climatic disaster."

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."
