Denying Reality

  1. No reasonable person can deny that global warming occurs. The question is: What is the cause?

    One possible explanation has been offered by Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark, whose research on the effects of cosmic rays on cloud formation seems to indicate that solar activity is an indirect cause of global warming. This could have great significance in light of the current sunspot minimum.

    However, because Svensmark's research contradicts the politically correct position that global warming is caused by man-made activities, Rolf-Dieter Heuer, general director of the world's leading physics lab at CERN in Geneva, has prohibited scientists from drawing any conclusions from Svensmark's research.

    According to this article, Heuer said, "I have asked the colleagues to present the results clearly, but not to interpret them ... That would go immediately into the highly political arena of the climate change debate. One has to make clear that cosmic radiation is only one of many parameters."

    When scientists are prohibited from interpreting the findings of legitimate scientific experiments, that's denial of reality.
