"The Greenhouse Mafia" in Australia: political interference in science
posted by also at 2006-08-02 16:20

also: and lobbyist interference in Government
also: "One lobbyist who was interviewed in 2002, claimed he had drafted Cabinet documents and ministerial briefs four or five times over the preceding 10 years. This meant his privileged access went back as far as the previous Labor Government."
also: "scientists in this country claimed they were being gagged from the public debate on climate change"
also: DR GRAEME PEARMAN, FORMER CSIRO CLIMATE DIRECTOR: ... at least a half a dozen times over the last year that I was with CSIRO.
also: "Dr Pearman, who joined the CSIRO in 1971, was the Chief of Atmospheric Research for 10 years. He contributed to more than 150 scientific papers, mostly on the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Dr Graeme Pearman won the UN's Environment Program Global Award in 1989, was awarded an Order of Australia in 1999 and a Federation Medal in 2003. In 2004, the CSIRO made him redundant."
also: <JANINE COHEN> Are there other scientists that have been censored in the same way that you have been? <DR GRAEME PEARMAN, FORMER CSIRO CLIMATE DIRECTOR> A lot.
also: BARNEY FORAN, CSIRO SCIENTIST 1976-2005: Oh, it happens all the time. Just recently in August, I was back at work late in the afternoon, took a call from our corporate centre saying, "Barney, how are you?" "OK, mate." He said, "Barney, we've just had a call "from the Prime Minister's Department. "They'd really appreciate it if you didn't say anything about ethanol."
