This is how fascists work. Think again Skeptics of the seriousness of global warming complained on Wednesday of not being heard by the public or policy-makers while warning governments to take a second look at the supposed scientific consensus on climate change. Scientists who doubt the scope and cause of climate change have trouble getting funding and academic posts unless they conform to an "alarmist scenario," said Roger Helmer, a British member of the European Parliament, at a panel discussion in Brussels on appropriate responses to rising global temperatures. "If global warming is happening, we can then ask: is it accelerating and is it likely to be catastrophic?" he said. "Many people think not." David Henderson, an economist at the Westminster Business School in London and former head of the Economics and Statistics Department at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, said governments had given the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change a monopoly on climate advice, Reuters news agency reports. "The very idea of creating a single would-be authoritative fount of wisdom is itself dubious," he said.
