j'incite vivement les personnes intéressées par les méthodes de désinformation utilisées par l'industrie (méthodes qui ne fonctionnent pas trop mal apparemment) à lire "Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming" (traduit en français sous le titre "Les marchands de doute") de Naomi Oreskes & Erik M. Conway
Ah, oui, Courtillot qui croit que la terre est plate!Déroulons les adresses données par "NikoJorj" :
Autant je trouve très sain de pointer les incertitudes autour des connaissances actuelles (et oui, le rôle des océans et du phytoplancton dedans n'est peut-être pas négligeable), autant un argument de l'envergure de Courtillot fait nettement plus lobby pétrolier (ou au moins ego hypertrophié)...
She has also written on the under-acknowledged role of women in science, discussed in the prize-winning paper "Objectivity or heroism? On the invisibility of women in science" (OSIRIS 11 (1996): 87-113)
Oreskes wrote an essay on science and society Beyond the Ivory Tower: The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change in the journal
Science in December 2004.[6][7][8]
In the essay she reported an analysis of “928 abstracts, published in refereed scientific journals between 1993 and 2003 and published in the ISI database with the keywords ‘global climate change’”.[6] The essay stated the analysis was to test the hypothesis that the drafting of reports and statements by societies such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, American Association for the Advancement of Science and National Academy of Sciences might downplay legitimate dissenting opinions on anthropogenic climate change. After the analysis, she concluded that 75 percent of the examined abstracts either explicitly or implicitly backed the consensus view, while none directly dissented from it. The essay received a great deal of media attention from around the world and has been cited by many prominent persons such as Al Gore in the movie An Inconvenient Truth.
