Tell us we're all doomed, UK politicians beg climate scientists: 'I like the idea science tells us something, and we have to agree'
"I like the idea science tells us something, and we have to agree," said John Robertson (Lab, Glasgow North West) - surely a candidate for Quote of the Year in any year. Robertson was speaking at the select committee's enquiry into the into the IPCC's latest climate report
Politicians want a strong, simple story of "certainty". As one British civil servant wrote to a leading climate scientist in 2009:
I can't overstate the HUGE amount of political interest in the project as a message that the Government can give on climate change to help them tell their story. They want the story to be a very strong one and don't want to be made to look foolish.
In other words, scientists were being asked to perform a propaganda function, while the politicians retained the luxury of passing the buck.
