Climate Scientists and Ethics: Some Advice from a Finance Professor

American Thinker: Climate Scientists and Ethics: Some Advice from a Finance Professor

Lessons from finance

What does this say about the integrity of other academics, such as finance professors?

I believe that finance academics are much more resistant to unethical behavior because we believe in a number of "best practices." I strongly recommend these practices to the climate science community:

Data shold be respected, theories not

Don't create institutions that decide whether an academic debate is closed.

Don't become captive to a political movement or an industry.
