Our duties and science - preview
Ian Flintoff looks at how science changes
Laurie Michaelis' recent article on climate change (6 April) is both urgent and comprehensive at a time when opinions seem uncertain and programmes like The Great Global Warming Swindle appear to contradict all that we are being told elsewhere
He brilliantly explains how the opinions are formed by bodies such as the IPCC, giving us good reason to trust the measured declarations on the subject from this and other bodies
For several years now, through the Open University, I have been researching the communication of science and how it operates within the political economy of the present time In other words, how do we get our information, from whom and how exact is it?
Ian Flintoff
