Naomi Oreskes Quotes

• Mucha gente tiene la impresión de que existe un importante desacuerdo científico sobre el cambio climático global. Ya es hora de acabar con ese malentendido. Existe un consenso científico sobre el hecho de que el clima de la Tierra se está calentando y las actividades humanas son parte de la razón. Tenemos que dejar de repetir tonterías sobre la incertidumbre del calentamiento global y empezar a hablar en serio sobre el enfoque correcto para abordarlo.

• Why would scientists dedicated to uncovering the truth about the natural world deliberately misrepresent the work of their own colleagues? Why would they spread accusations with no basis? Why would they refuse to correct their arguments once they had been shown to be incorrect?
