.. and they have the gall to call themselves scientists!
The word "scientific" no longer belongs in their name and should be expunged
forthwith.

Support dissent while it's still legal:
"A CSIRO economist whose research criticising emissions trading schemes was
banned from publication said last night he had been subjected to harassment
by the senior agency management. "
"Clive Spash ... was told in February he could publish the work if it were
peer reviewed. But in July, CSIRO management said it could not be published
after it was cleared for publication. This month, he was informed he could
not publish it even in his private capacity, because it was "politically
sensitive". Within 24 hours, he also received a letter outlining a list of
trivial instances in which he was accused of breaching CSIRO policy, for
example not completing a leave form properly. :
"The gagging of Dr Spash's work is embarrassing for Science Minister Kim
Carr, who defended academic freedoms in opposition and last year trumpeted a
new CSIRO charter he said would give scientists the right to speak publicly
about their findings. "
Yes, but that was before this growing scepticism about warming and the
Government's dodgy "fix".

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."
