I am shocked, really I am:The United Nations grossly overestimated both the scope and direction of AIDS infections, its scientists will admit later this week. The actual numbers in almost every theater have proven to be much less than UN reports indication, in some places less than half of that asserted. Outside researchers say that their demands for government funding motivated them to essentially lie about the gravity of the situation:
As Ed Morrissey points out this does make one wonder about the motivations about the UN’s global warming campaign.Surely it’s easier to get a proper perspective on the AIDS epidemic than global warming. Simple sampling techniques should give your a fair estimate of the number of AIDS cases. Global warming is in effect an unknowable phenomenon. There is no way to accurately predict the climate an hundred years from now, let alone an hundred days.It’s not surprising that this scientific misconduct has come out in the AIDS arena. That was in my memory the first time that science was radically politicized. Remember all of the doom and gloom news stories where everyone was going to have it. Every day the newspaper had to have a new slant to stir up the public. I remember telling my friends and family that I was glad for the first gulf war because it took AIDS off of the front page for a while.
So now we’re seeing the same thing play out with global warming. It’s become politicized.
