[escepticos] los limites del debate cientifico

[Carlos Ungil]

Por si alguien llegara a leer lo anterior, me deje de poner las  
causas por las que el Dr. Reiter abandono el IPCC:

>   IPCC THIRD ASSESSMENT REPORT, WORKING GROUP II. CHAPTER 18. HUMAN  
> POPULATION HEALTH
>
>   The third assessment report listed more than 65 lead authors,  
> only one of which—a colleague of mine—was an established authority  
> on vector-borne disease. I was invited to serve a contributory  
> author on the health chapter
My colleague and I repeatedly found ourselves at loggerheads with  
persons who insisted on making authoritative pronouncements, although  
they had little or no knowledge of our speciality. At the time, we  
were experiencing similar frustration as Lead Authors of Health  
Section of the US National Assessment of the Potential Consequences  
of Climate Variability and Change (US Global Change Research  
Program). After much effort and many fruitless discussions, I decided  
to concentrate on the USGCCRP and resigned from the IPCC project.
