August 18, 2012Vicious attack on Dr. Fred Singer by Der Spiegel
October 9, 2010Der Spiegel likes to keep its many feet in every possible camp.
In May this year they had published an article: How the Science of Global Warming Was Compromised by Axel Bojanowski.
But clearly they feel the need to show how impartial they are and that they can also be as alarmist as the rest of the media !!!!!!
Yesterday they published The Traveling Salesmen of Climate Skepticism by Cordula Meyer which is a vicious attack on Fred Singer and , in passing, on Gerd Weber. From her previous articles, she does not seem to have any special science credentials and clearly is one of the global warming groupies who believes that consensus science is good science : “According to a US study, 97 percent of all climatologists worldwide assume that greenhouse gases produced by humans are warming the Earth”.
‘Science as the Enemy’
A handful of US scientists have made names for themselves by casting doubt on global warming research. In the past, the same people have also downplayed the dangers of passive smoking, acid rain and the ozone hole. In all cases, the tactics are the same: Spread doubt and claim it’s too soon to take action.
