CENSURE ANTI-SCIENCE
Les climatologues américains ont-ils encore le droit d'informer le public sur les résultats de leurs recherches scientifiques en rapport avec le changement climatique ?
La situation semble s'aggraver à la NASA (voir en particulier les témoignages de J.Hansen) et au NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).
Sur le même sujet :7 avril 2006 - USA
Scientists doing climate research for the federal government say the Bush administration has made it hard for them to speak forthrightly to the public about global warming. The result, the researchers say, is a danger that Americans are not getting the full story on how the climate is changing. (...)
These scientists - working nationwide in research centers in such places as Princeton, N.J., and Boulder, Colo. - say they are required to clear all media requests with administration officials, something they did not have to do until the summer of 2004. "There has been a change in how we're expected to interact with the press," said Pieter Tans, who measures greenhouse gases linked to global warming and has worked at NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder for two decades. He added that although he often "ignores the rules" the administration has instituted, when it comes to his colleagues, "some people feel intimidated - I see that."
Christopher Milly, a hydrologist at the U.S. Geological Survey, said he had problems twice while drafting news releases on scientific papers describing how climate change would affect the nation's water supply. (...)

Two weeks later, Hansen suggested to an audience at the New School University in New York that his counterparts at NOAA were experiencing even more severe censorship. "It seems more like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union than the United States," he told the crowd. (...)

(...) Deux semaines plus tôt Hansen avait déclaré au public à la New School University de New york que ses confrères du NOAA faisaient l'expérience de censure encore plus sévère. "Cela resemble plus à l'Allemagne nazi ou à l'union soviétique qu'aux Etats-Unis a t-il déclaré à la foule. (...)
Il n'y a pas de fumée sans feu : la vitesse du changement climatique est très inquiètante.
