Public motivé
preface by Henri Lepage
The ipcc : a scientific body ?
Resolutely against the grain, the author of this essay claims that the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is a fraud consisting in presenting an essentially political initiative as scientific, and that this fraud is the greatest in modem science due to its blinding and planetary success.
The essay also reads as an audacious lesson in rigor imparted by philosophy to science. The author suggests that the debate within the IPCC, which deals with the exact sciences, be distinguished from the debate on the IPCC, which is of an epistemological nature, that is to say institutional, logical, methodological.

« This text is an absolute delight, a perfect analysis oflogic and of the motivations behind the scientific-political confusion and the tremendous mystification that followed » Henri Atlan, biologist and philosopher

« Drieu Godefridi's book is one of the most relevant publications I hâve read in thèse last few years. The great force of this excellent book is its brilliant défense of a provocative thesis in a perfectly balanced way. » Corentin de Salle, philosopher
