The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[DJC]

Not faulty at all, we had quite a debate about the issue.

As you may recall I worked with a segment of the CSIRO advanced manufacturing group for almost a decade, intermittently at first then intensely for 3 years, I don't need to read a paper to know the opinions and politics of those involved, for many I can just ask them. But you won't find the opinions being published because funding is vindictive.

And that's one of the reasons why the CSIRO has to be even-handed, although it's generally the Coalition that cuts their funding more heavily.

And you're mistaken about my past CSIRO position.  Having dealt with many government funded research bodies, and having a brother who, as a senior defence scientist, gave evidence at the Blackhawk enquiry that the government of the day didn't want aired, I know that our government funded research institutions go where the data leads, rather than where politics desires.
