I know, but that is a very incomplete report and completely ignores the
reaction of the scientific community, which is, in my opinion, the more
interesting one.
This is not just another scandal about a lying politician, but about a

I would ask you to rely not only on Ivans blog, but at least read the
comment on Deutsche welle (first link in my post) to get a fuller picture.
Cheers
