Looks like the UN conducts its science the same way it does everything else: corruptly and incompetently.
The two most recent UN science problems are with the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which has been severely criticized for over estimating the growth of greenhouse gases in its computer models (Henderson and Castles) with the Chair calling the scientific critics "Hitler" and World Health Organization’s secrecy in dealing with the DNA model of the bird flu viruses (Dr. Ilaria Capua). The DNA sequences are being kept secret by WHO.
Shame, Shame. UN science could become an oxymoron if it isn’t already.
