CSIRO ‘embarrassed by scientific facts on climate change’
During Senate estimates on Wednesday, a wonderful demonstration was observed of just how our scientific organisations seek to massage the message on global warming, says Sky News host Chris Kenny. On Thursday, Senator Matt Canavan revealed the CSIRO failed to include a finding that there are no studies linking climate change to fire weather in a bushfire explainer document. During the Senate estimates, a CSIRO official failed to explain why a previous finding, which said there was no evidence to suggest a link between climate change and bushfires, was not found in the recent document explaining the climate change and science about bushfires. This explainer talked about what causes bushfires, what makes them worse, factors like weather and fuel loads ... and of course it mentioned the role of climate change, longer, hotter summers, Mr Kenny said. There is so much to discuss on climate change and policies directed at climate change. But so many organisations seek to censor and control just what information is pushed into the public domain, they seem to think the global warming narrative is more important than just sharing scientific facts. image: Getty Read More Our Apps
