Survey suggests half of EU citizens believe scientists are 'dangerous' | Science | guardian.co.uk

An alarming 58% of respondents across the European Union agreed that:

"We can no longer trust scientists to tell the truth about controversial scientific and technological issues because they depend more and more on money from industry."

Worrying too is the finding that 53% of European respondents (46% of UK respondents) agree with the statement that, because of their knowledge, scientists "have a power that makes them dangerous". Not potentially dangerous, notice, but dangerous. When you take into account the 23% who didn't know or who neither agreed or disagreed, the survey suggests that just 24% of EU citizens believe that scientists are not dangerous.

UK energy secretary pledges “radical overhaul” of homes | Policy

The Government will also be arguing to increase the EU’s emissions cut target to 30% and reshaping its own Climate Change Levy to shore up the carbon price, which Huhne says is necessary to drive investment.

“No less than £200 billion of investment is needed in our energy infrastructure over the coming decade,” he says. “We need a meaningful carbon price to underpin [these] investment decisions.”
