[Phys-L] Re: more scientific integrity problems (06/14)



The Bellamy incident is no little trifle. To see what David Bellamy has
wrought, read George Monbiot's columns in the Guardian. Here is the URL
and an excerpt.

*Junk this science*

*George Monbiot
Guardian Weekly <http://www.guardianweekly.co.uk/>*

"...It is hard to convey just how selective you have to be to dismiss
the evidence for climate change. You must climb over a mountain of
evidence to pick up a crumb: a crumb which then disintegrates in the
palm of your hand. You must ignore an entire canon of science, the
statements of the world's most eminent scientific institutions, and
thousands of papers published in the foremost scientific journals. You
must, if you are David Bellamy, embrace instead the claims of an
eccentric former architect, which are based on what appears to be a
non-existent data set. And you must do all this while calling yourself a
scientist."
