A climate of conflict 气候之争 PANELS of experts assessing scientific investigations tend to be messy affairs, particularly whentheir customers are governments. People with expertise in one field, such as renewable energy,may have a bias towards it. Summaries of their work are the result of political negotiations. Andfindings are further boiled down in an attempt to win media coverage. 那些评估科学考察的专家小组越发地变得复杂了，尤其是当他们的客户是政府时更是如此。在某个领域，如可再生能源方面拥有专业知识的人或许对此有偏见。他们的工作摘要是政治谈判的结果。这样的发现可以进一步归结为试图赢得媒体的报道。 Much of this can be seen in a new special report on renewable energy by theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , which was released last week. Possibleconflicts of interest, revealed by Steve McIntyre, a blogger, have led to another controversyabout the panelonly 18 months after its embarrassment over an incorrect claim about theimminent demise of the Himalayas glaciers. 从新的有关可再生能源的特别报告中就可以看到以上的大部分情况，该报告是在上周由政府间气候变化专门委员会发布的。一个叫史帝夫.麦因特的博客透露，可能的利益纷争已经又引发了一场关于专家小组的争议这距离上次关于喜马拉雅山冰川即将消失的错误言论仅有18个月的时间。 |
