Comments on: Coal – the inconvenient truth https://www.openforum.com.au/coal-the-inconvenient-truth/ Open Forum offers an independent platform for Australian debate Tue, 19 Dec 2023 21:24:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.25 By: Max Thomas https://www.openforum.com.au/coal-the-inconvenient-truth/#comment-4279 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 02:19:11 +0000 http://www.openforum.com.au/?post_type=forumpost&p=11521#comment-4279 I have been critical of Doctors for the Environment on ‘Open Forum’ when it seemed to me that some statements made were not soundly evidence-based, or in my view were unreasonable. Examples were some assertions about the health effects of unconventional gas exploration and ‘creative and convenient’ interpretation of NPi PM2.5 data. However, it would be remiss of me not to congratulate Dr Shearman on this informative and well-considered piece. I hope it receives a wide readership and contributes to assisting decision-makers bring about a much-needed but exceedingly difficult change of economic direction while at the same time preserving and strengthening our democratic traditions and institutions.
