Leroux, Climatology

What climatology is not, is an excuse for planet-wide manipulations; neither is it a scare story, a source of sensational copy for journalists short of lines, or provider of disaster movie scenarios. The protection of Nature and the fight against pollution need no false climatic premisses to underpin them: their necessity is self-evident.
Let those who claim to knowledge of the ‘climate’ make sure that they know what they are talking about, and take time to learn the facts - and this includes some scientists, it must be said. The destiny of climatology is not to be a recreation, a supplier of news items and catastrophes: its destiny, as a science of Nature, is to resolve, objectively, disinterestedly, and responsibly, some of humanity’s fundamental problems.
