CERN gags scientists

CERN 'gags' physicists in cosmic ray climate experiment ? The Register

The chief of the world's leading physics lab at CERN in Geneva has prohibited scientists from drawing conclusions from a major experiment. The CLOUD ("Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets") experiment examines the role that energetic particles from deep space play in cloud formation. CLOUD uses CERN's proton synchrotron to examine nucleation.

Heuer says, "That would go immediately into the highly political arena of the climate change debate. One has to make clear that cosmic radiation is only one of many parameters."

Would be very damaging to tax revenues. I expect scientists that don't tow the Carbon line might be at risk for a sudden suicide incident.

Don't want to rush to conclusions when you're not sure of your data.
