Je veux bien comme remette en question certaines théories et qu'on doute de certaines approches, mais le réchauffement climatique me semble incontournable dans la prise de décision... Comparer la "terre est plate" au réchauffement climatique? J'achète difficilement.
"The North Carolina Senate’s Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources Committee has approved a bill that restricts state agencies’ ability to take global warming into account when making sea-level rise projections. The language in the bill was toned down from the version that had been circulating — the original version of the bill stated starkly that rates of sea-level rise could use only historical data, extrapolated linearly, despite the fact that most scientists expect sea-levels to rise faster over the next century as a result of global warming — but the version of the bill approved Thursday still contains the following language: [Rates of sea-level rise] shall be determined using statistically significant, peer-reviewed historical data generated using generally accepted scientific and statistical techniques. Historic rates of sea-level rise may be extrapolated to estimate future rates of rise but shall not include scenarios of accelerated rates of sea-level rise unless such rates are from statistically significant, peer-reviewed data and are consistent with historic trends.
The original bill made the state’s Division of Coastal Management the only agency allowed to develop sea-level rise rates, while the new language makes clear that the bill will “not prohibit other State agencies, boards,commissions, other public entities or institutions, including academic institutions within The University of North Carolina or any county, municipality, or other local public body from engaging in studies and dissemination of studies of sea-level research for non-regulatory purposes.”
At the committee hearing Thursday, state Sen. David Rouzer (R-Johnston), who sponsored the bill, said projections of faster sea-level rise would hurt coastal economies, and argued that the bill was designed to put “guardrails in place” for sea-level projections.
“Science should be based on real hard data,” Rouzer said, according to the North Carolina Coastal Federtion’s Kirk Ross. “Just because there is a group of folks that project the sea-level rise does not mean the sea will rise. There was consensus years and years and years ago that the earth was flat; turned out to be round.”
