"Australia: Since the science is settled, we’re going to fire hundreds of government climate scientists
In Climate Change, Politics by Mr. Right/February 12, 2016/Leave a Comment/
Brilliant. Australia finally notices the pink elephant in the room and asks the simple question: If the science on global warming is settled, why are we employing so many scientists to study it constantly?
From the DC:
Liberal politicians like to say the science behind global warming is “settled,” so what’s the point of having any climate scientists?
Australian officials have decided to axe 350 jobs from its government-backed science bureaucracy last week, as they switch from climate research into ways to mitigate and adapt to global warming. The announcement set off a media firestorm, and the scientists who could lose their jobs are livid.
“Firstly the overall number of people in CSIRO is projected to be unchanged at the end of a two year period, however up to 350 people may lose their positions as we change the focus of our work program,” Larry Marshall, chief executive of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), said in a Monday statement in response to media criticism.
“No one is saying climate change is not important, but surely mitigation, health, education, sustainable industries, and prosperity of the nation are no less important,” Marshall said."
