Dr. Fasano and a group made up of prominent celiac disease researchers, including Drs. Peter Green (head of the Columbia University Celiac Disease
Center) and Dr. Marios Hadjivassiliou (a consultant neurologist and expert in gluten ataxia), followed up the initial study with a
consensus statement
released in February 2012 proposing ways to differentiate between celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and gluten ataxia.
As Edward Maibach, director of the
Center for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University, says, people are influenced largely «by what their friends and family members think about climate change, by news media coverage of climate science, (for example, the recent
release of the third National Climate Assessment), by their understanding of the scientific
consensus about human - caused climate change, by statements made by the political leaders they trust, and by their own «personal experiences» with climate change.»
