The Alarm Is Set Comments

Spot on sentiments Ian, and well presented. If scientists say things that are inconvenient for polluting companies, then you know what the policy of right-wing politicians will be: find different scientists. And if they can't find any credible scientists that see things their way, then they just cite the uncertainty (which is inherent in all science) to say the evidence is inconclusive, so we can keep on polluting. It's enough to make one dangerously cynical.
