For scientists in a democracy, to dissent is to be reasonable
30sep13 George Monbiot Comment is free The Guardian re eg
Professor Ian Boyd
, chief scientific adviser at the UK's Department for Environment. & eg planet-wrecking programmes. The latest is the
Centre for Doctoral Training in Oil and Gas
, just launched by the Natural Environment Research Council. Its aim is "to support the oil and gas sector" by providing "focused training" in fracking, in exploiting tar deposits, and in searching for oil in polar regions. In other words, it is subsidising fossil fuel companies while promoting climate change.
