On Wednesday, the group sent P\u00e9cresse a letter denouncing All\u00e8gre&#8217;s latest book, L&#8217;imposture climatique (The Climate Fraud), and asking her to express confidence in the climate research community. All\u00e8gre was science minister from 1997 until 2000. <\/p>\n<p>The book\u2014a series of interviews with journalist Dominique de Montvalon\u2014includes a harsh attack on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which All\u00e8gre calls a &#8220;mafia-like system&#8221; that propagates a &#8220;baseless myth.&#8221; Climate scientists and journalists at several newspapers have argued that the book is riddled with errors, distortions of the data, and outright lies. <\/p>\n<p>The dispute has played out for 2 months in raucous TV and radio debates and countless op-eds. French scientists say it&#8217;s time for the government and several prominent lab directors to take sides. The group also takes aim at IPGP Director Vincent Courtillot, another global warming skeptic. All\u00e8gre and Courtillot have made &#8220;false accusations&#8221; and &#8220;have forgotten the basic principles of scientific ethics, breaking the moral pact that binds every scientist to society,&#8221; Wednesday&#8217;s letter says. P\u00e9cresse has yet to address the letter directly, but on Wednesday, she told the newspaper Lib\u00e9ration that she wants the Academy of Sciences to organize a debate about the issue.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: news.sciencemag.org<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/climaterealists.com\/index.php?id=5477\">Read in full with comments \u00bb<\/a>  &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/IvPnz4_e12COGScnXxILGKErFCA\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/IvPnz4_e12COGScnXxILGKErFCA\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/IvPnz4_e12COGScnXxILGKErFCA\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/IvPnz4_e12COGScnXxILGKErFCA\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/ClimaterealistsNewsBlog\/~4\/mVj4YR9PbsE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Tags: Book, Claude All\u00e8gre PARIS\u2014More than 400 French climate scientists want science minister Val\u00e9rie P\u00e9cresse to take a clear stand against the country&#8217;s most vocal climate skeptic, geochemist Claude All\u00e8gre of the Institute of Geophysics of Paris (IPGP).
