>>Scientists threatened for 'climate denial'
>>By Tom Harper, Sunday Telegraph

>>
>>Scientists who questioned mankind's impact on climate
>>change have received death threats and claim to have
>>been shunned by the scientific community.
>>
>>They say the debate on global warming has been
>>"hijacked" by a powerful alliance of politicians,
>>scientists and environmentalists who have stifled all
>>questioning about the true environmental impact of
>>carbon dioxide emissions.
>>
>>Timothy Ball, a former climatology professor at the
>>University of Winnipeg in Canada, has received five
>>deaths threats by email since raising concerns about
>>the degree to which man was affecting climate change.
>>
>>One of the emails warned that, if he continued to
>>speak out, he would not live to see further global
>>warming.
>>
>>"Western governments have pumped billions of dollars
>>into careers and institutes and they feel threatened,"
>>said the professor.
>>
>>"I can tolerate being called a sceptic because all
>>scientists should be sceptics, but then they started
>>calling us deniers, with all the connotations of the
>>Holocaust. That is an obscenity. It has got really
>>nasty and personal."
>>
>>Last week, Professor Ball appeared in The Great Global
>>Warming Swindle, a Channel 4 documentary in which
>>several scientists claimed the theory of man-made
>>global warming had become a "religion", forcing
>>alternative explanations to be ignored.
>>
>>Richard Lindzen, the professor of Atmospheric Science
>>at Massachusetts Institute of Technology - who also
>>appeared on the documentary - recently claimed:
>>"Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen
>>their funds disappear, their work derided, and
>>themselves labelled as industry stooges.
>>
>>"Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence
>>even when they fly in the face of the science."
>>
>>Dr Myles Allen, from Oxford University, agreed. He
>>said: "The Green movement has hijacked the issue of
>>climate change. It is ludicrous to suggest the only
>>way to deal with the problem is to start micro
>>managing everyone, which is what environmentalists
>>seem to want to do."
>>
>>Nigel Calder, a former editor of New Scientist, said:
>>"Governments are trying to achieve unanimity by
>>stifling any scientist who disagrees. Einstein could
>>not have got funding under the present system."
