Alberta government scientist apologizes to two independent researchers for defamatory comments
A scientist who works for the Alberta government has apologized to two scientists for calling their research “a lie.”
Dr. Preston McEachern, an environmental effects biologist who works for the government of Alberta, issued a letter of apology and retraction to Kevin Timoney, a researcher with Treeline Ecological Research, and Peter Lee, executive director with Global Forest Watch Canada.
The latter two researchers discovered that the Alberta tar sands industry was causing wider detrimental environmental effects than the Alberta government wanted to admit.
Fortunately, truth (once again) outed the denialists.
