“Noble cause corruption” exposed

Here.

Emeritus Professor John Adams on the book "The Virtuous Corruption of Virtual Environmental Science":
It explores the hijacking of science by people grinding axes on behalf of noble causes. “Noble cause corruption” is a term invented by the police to justify fitting up people they “know” to be guilty, but for whom they can’t muster forensic evidence that would satisfy a jury. Kellow demonstrates convincingly, and entertainingly, that this form of corruption can be found at the centre of most environmental debates.
