Scientists Ask Minister to Disavow Predecessor's Book.

The article discusses France's former science minister Claude Allègre and his criticism of climate research and the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It notes a letter sent to existing French science minister Valérie Pécresse by a group of French scientists that asks for an expression of support for French climate science. Allègre's book "L'imposture climatique" or "The Climate Fraud" also is noted for a misrepresentation of climate data originally documented in a paper by paleoclimatologist Håkan Grudd.
