Sort of like climate scientists (with exception for Hansen and a couple of others) for the last couple of decades.

According to the Itialian papers: The view from L'Aquila, however, is quite different. Prosecutors and the families of victims alike say that the trial has nothing to do with the ability to predict earthquakes, and everything to do with the failure of government-appointed scientists serving on an advisory panel to adequately evaluate, and then communicate, the potential risk to the local population. The charges, detailed in a 224-page document filed by Picuti, allege that members of the National Commission for Forecasting and Predicting Great Risks, who held a special meeting in L'Aquila the week before the earthquake, provided "incomplete, imprecise, and contradictory information" to a public that had been unnerved by months of persistent, low-level tremors. Picuti says that the commission was more interested in pacifying the local population than in giving clear advice about earthquake preparedness."<br /><br />RBMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-73002176460650459312012-10-23T13:50:12.647-05:002012-10-23T13:50:12.647-05:00Six Italian seismologists......
