Scientists Pressured To Say ‘Climate Change Causes Everything’
Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says it might be necessary to “rekindle the benefits of unorthodoxy” to create an effective government response to climate change.
During Senate estimates a CSIRO official failed to explain why a previous CSIRO finding that said there was no evidence to suggest a link between climate change and bushfires was not found in a recent document explaining the bushfires.
Mr. Canavan told Sky News host Chris Kenny it would have been “pretty easy” to include the fact there has been no evidence linking climate change and bushfires in the document.
He said climate change activists however demand “it has all got to be one way” and “everything is a cause of climate change”.
“Scientists sometimes feel that pressure too and are somewhat reticent to put the more complex picture into papers like this,” he said.
“It is very easy to blame climate change and that becomes the orthodoxy and cannot be challenged, yet it leads to some very poor policy decisions.
“Everyone apparently is saying if we shut down coal-fired power stations there won’t be any bushfires in Australia anymore.
“It is absurd but it gets somehow established as gospel in this place.”

Wait, what is a “Nationals Senator”?
“During Senate estimates” What in heck is this? The CSIRO did the estimates.
“… CSIRO finding that said there was no evidence to suggest a link between climate change and bushfires was not found in a recent document explaining the bushfires” This is not English, too many “was”‘s and a double negative.
““Scientists sometimes feel that pressure too and are somewhat reticent to put the more complex picture into papers like this,” he said.” One has to be able to stand up for their own integrity. They are saying that integrity is open to outside pressure. Sure it is, but it is up to the individual to keep their integrity. Wow. If you do not stand up for the real world and scientific integrity, you need to find another job.
Pot hole-ridden article.

Sorry Sky News but the first two sentences were gibberish. (Please edit and expand on this quoted
unorthodoxy'). However, the remaining text accurately and concisely describes exactly what many people perceive to be ano debate’ tyranny.Reply

What a shame it is that lies and cheating are ruining this great country. People are forced to take sides on misinformation.
