Lax standards of conflict of interest disclosures among climate scientists create “unnecessary vulnerabilities†and should be avoided, according to University of Colorado, Boulder professor and political scientist Roger Pielke, Jr.
“You certainly don’t want advisors—scientific advisors—to have the perception, at a minimum that they’re receiving funding from those that they’re providing advice to,†Pielke told Western Wire.
Pielke says that, while the debates surrounding climate change have become highly polarized, it is important that both sides be held to the same standards of accountability when it comes to research.
