The doormen outside the headquarters of Shanghai's Municipal Education Commission have a new
colleague these days. On Friday evenings and Saturday mornings they are joined by a young
Mandarin-speaking Israeli, who keeps an eye on comings and goings. The ivy-covered compound,
built in the 1920s, is also the home of Ohel RacheI, one of Shanghai's last surviving synagogues.
This month, for the first time in almost 60 years, it reopened for regular Sabbath services.
2
That Ohel RacheI was reopened, even though Judaism is not one of China's five officially recognised
religions, is one of a number of signs that Shanghai may be coming to terms with its past. After the
Communist revolution in 1949, much of the city's history was swept under the carpet, and its grand
old buildings put to new uses. Some of these buildings had been designated for protection in
recent decades, but the heritage signs posted on them typically give little detail about their
previous significance.
3
Ohel RacheI was neglected for decades. Even now, the 2,000-strong Jewish community has been
promised regular access only until October, when the Shanghai World Expo ends. But Rabbi Shalom
Greenberg, who led the campaign for its reopening, says that the city's authorities have indicated
unofficially that it will be hard to reverse the decision. He believes that Shanghai’s economic revival
has made officials more confident in treating its complex history, and able "to use the past to
benefit the future–even if the past was not so much to their liking."
4
Shanghai's small Russian Orthodox community has also, for the first time, received permission to
use one of the prewar churches built by White Russians. Shanghai's former British cathedral, the
Holy Trinity, has been painstakingly renovated by China's official Protestant church.
5
At the north end of the Bund, Shanghai's famous waterfront, the area around the original British
consulate has been renovated. Even the buildings' original names, such as the Baptist Publication
Society Building and the former headquarters of Britain's Royal Asiatic Society, have been
reinstated. "This is nothing to do with politics," says Zhou Wei, governor of the district which
includes the Bund. "This is about history and culture. This area is the root of the development of
modern Shanghai." Mr Zhou says that Shanghai is treating the protection of its distinctive history
and culture with new seriousness.
6 Around the city, a number of signs detailing long-forgotten street names have been erected. The
Shanghai Corporate Pavilion at the World Expo, funded by local state enterprises, commissioned a
Pulitzer-prize-winning photographer, Liu Heung Shing, to compile a book of images of Shanghai's
history, giving him unprecedented access to the city's archives.
7
Yet this more relaxed attitude towards history does not always beget more vigorous preservation.
In some areas of the city, demolition continues. The demand for new infrastructure, or simply
property, can be more than enough to trump the appeal of conservation. Parts of the wartime
Jewish "ghetto" area in Hongkou district, for instance, were recently knocked down. Parts of the
past itself are still off limits too. In Mr Liu's book, a number of historical moments are notably
absent, such as the student protests in Shanghai in 1989. Some history is still too hard to face.

UNCERTAIN SCIENCE
By Stefan Theil
Blame economic worries, another freezing winter, or the cascade of scandals emerging from the
world's leading climate-research body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But
concern over global warming has cooled down dramatically. In über-green Germany, only 42
percent of citizens worry about global warming now, down from 62 percent in 2006. In Britain, just
26 percent believe climate change is man-made, down from 41 percent as recently as November
2009. And Americans rank global warming dead Iast in a list of 21 problems that concern them,
according to a January Pew poll.
2
The shift has left many once celebrated climate researchers feeling like the used-car salesmen of
the science world. In Britain, one leading scientist told an interviewer he is taking anti-anxiety pills
and considered suicide following the leak of thousands of IPCC-related e-mails and documents
suggesting that researchers cherry-picked data and suppressed rival studies to play up global
warming. In the U.S., another researcher is under investigation for allegedly using exaggerated
climate data to obtain public funds. In an open letter published in the May issue of Science
magazine, 255 American climate researchers decry "political assaults" on their work by "deniers"
and followers of "dogma" and "special interests."
3
This is no dispute between objective scientists and crazed flat-earthers. The lines cut through the
profession itself. Very few scientists dispute a link between man-made CO2
and global warming.
Where it gets fuzzy is the extent and time frame of the effect. One crucial point of contention is
climate "sensitivity" – the mathematical formula that translates changes in CO2
production to
changes in temperature. In addition, scientists are not sure how to explain a slowdown in the rise of
global temperatures that began about a decade ago.
4
The backlash against climate science is also about the way in which leading scientists allied
themselves with politicians and activists to promote their cause. Some of the IPCC's most-quoted
data and recommendations were taken straight out of unchecked activist brochures, newspaper
articles, and corporate reports – including claims of plummeting crop yields in Africa and the rising
costs of warming-related natural disasters, both of which have been refuted by academic studies.
