Views on the Climategate controversy

[edit]

Zorita was quoted in the Wall Street Journal as saying that the "scientific debate [on climate change] has been in many instances hijacked to advance other agendas", and that climate science students are "often tempted to tweak their data so as to fit the "politically correct picture". " Zorita continued, "Some, or many issues, about climate change are still not well known. Policy makers should be aware of the attempts to hide these uncertainties ..."[1]
