Dans le but de discréditer ses opposants et éviter toute confrontation scientifique sur ses affirmations, Al Gore n’y va pas de main morte avec celle-ci:
Fifteen per cent of the people believe the moon landing was staged on some movie lot and a somewhat smaller number still believe the Earth is flat. They all get together on a Saturday night and party with the global warming deniers
Question de mettre les cartes sur table: je ne crois pas que la mission lunaire ait été montée de toutes pièces et je ne crois pas que la Terre soit plate :-)
Une autre intéressante d’A£b€rt Gor€ :
“Nobody is interested in solutions if they don’t think there’s a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.”
Albert Gore, interiew Grist Magazine http://www.grist.org/article/roberts2/

Et une autre de Sir John Houghton, first chairman of IPCC
“Unless we announce disasters, no one will listen”
===========================================
Et une dernière, pour la route (Professor Stephen Schneider, global warming guru at Stanford University).
So, we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have.
==========================================
Les travaux pratiques qui accompagnent ces déclarations sont édifiants.
Et puis une autre, qui mériterait de figurer en fronton de tes citations :
========================================================
Fewer scientific problems are so often discussed, yet so rarely decided by proofs, as whether climatic relations have changed over time.
Joachim von Schouw, 1826.
