My goodness! A study commissioned in India, a nation which must choose between an order-of-magnitude increase in CO2 emissions or remaining far longer in relative poverty, determined that raising CO2 emissions are just fine. I'm not qualified to comment on climate science, but it doesn't take a clinical psychologist to spot the conflict of interests.
- hugh 18y agoYou can't go around dismissing scientific studies just because the authors have a conflict of interest. There's almost always a conflict of interest in any scientific study. For example in most studies there's an "interesting" result (e.g. method P works, X causes Y, Z is a real phenomenon) that might come out or a "less interesting" result (method P doesn't work, X has nothing to do with Y, Z doesn't really exist). The interesting result is almost always better for the scientist's career.
