A new approach for eddy diffusivity and counter-gradient term in atmospheric turbulent fluxes is developed. This scheme is based on the Taylor statistical theory of turbulence and on a multifractal approach to the turbulent spectrum of energy. The non-extensive thermodynamics description is used...

Instead of the futile effort to keep science and politics separate, it may make more sense to ask scientists to engage more substantively in policy debate, not by taking sides but instead by serving as "honest brokers of policy alternatives." This would have the effect of depoliticizing science...
