The Telegraph reports that there is growing dissent among the ranks of some scientists, whose dissenting viewpoint is unable to find a place in many major academic journals. According to the story,

Two of the world’s leading scientific journals e under fire from researchers for refusing to publish papers which challenge fashionable wisdom over global warming.

…

The controversy follows the publication by Science in December of a paper which claimed to have plete agreement among climate experts, not only that global warming is a genuine phenomenon, but also that mankind is to blame.

…

Dr Peiser said the stifling of dissent and preoccupation with doomsday scenarios is bringing climate research into disrepute. “There is a fear that any doubt will be used by politicians to avoid action,” he said. “But if political considerations dictate what gets published, it’s all over for science.”
