Or so he says…
An Australian scientist, Professor Andrew Pitman, is telling the media that real estate agents are threatening him over his climate change research. He claims that the agents who are selling coastal property disagree with his conclusions and are threatening him for publicising them.
The research concerns coastal erosion and the potential loss of property due to global warming.
Man, you thought real estate agents in the states were tough.
Professor Pitman has told the ABC’s Local Radio that several agents have asked him to stop talking about how vulnerable certain properties are.
“More explicitly [they said] ‘We’re nervous about our particular market niche in a particular suburb’,” he said.
“And, ‘We are going to start making your life difficult if you keep pointing to climate change affecting our particular location’.” via ABC News

I can understand that the conclusions of M. Pitman are hurting the business of real estate agents in that area. But on the other hand, isn’t a moral responsibility to tell the truth to your clients? Thanks!
