The chief of the world's leading physics lab at CERN in Geneva has prohibited scientists from drawing conclusions from a major experiment. The CLOUD ("Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets") experiment examines the role that energetic particles from deep space play in cloud formation. CLOUD uses CERN's proton synchrotron to examine nucleation.

CERN Director General Rolf-Dieter Heuer told Welt Online that the scientists should refrain from drawing conclusions from the latest experiment. ...The unusual "gagging order" could have been issued because the results of CLOUD are really, really boring, muses Calder. Or, it could be that the experiment invites a politically unacceptable hypothesis on climate. ...

Ok, it's "politically unacceptable". Let's forget about it then...

We have all known this for years

Economics drives the research and research has to support the political which in turn decides who gets the money grants.

To kill off a large part of the population requires a withdraw of the energy supply that make the support of a large population possible. A justifiable reason for the with holding of the energy is required and god help any that do not follow the agenda in this regard.
