关于气候变暖的争论中,Doug Keenan 引用了Linus Torvalds--Linux的创始人之一的一段话来说明关于气候变暖研究中,为什么存在欺骗的现象.下面是wiki的关于Linus的一段简介和引言.

Linus Benedict Torvalds (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈliːnɵs ˈtuːrvalds] ( listen); born December 28, 1969 in Helsinki, Finland) is a Finnish software engineer best known for having initiated the development of the Linux kernel and git revision control system. He later became the chief architect of the Linux kernel, and now acts as the project's coordinator.

Linus Torvalds “In fact, this made me think that the microkernel approach was essentially a dishonest approach aimed at receiving more dollars for research. I don’t necessarily think these researchers were knowingly dishonest. Perhaps they were simply stupid. Or deluded. I mean this in a very real sense. The dishonesty comes from the intense pressure in the research community at that time to pursue the microkernel topic. In a computer science research lab, you were studying microkernels or your weren’t studying kernels at all. So everyone was pressured into this dishonesty, even the people designing Windows NT. While the NT team knew the final result wouldn’t approach a microkernel, they knew they had to pay lip service to the idea.”

Doug Keenan:“You could change a few words there and get Global Warming”.
