Professor admits error: "I am deeply sorry"

It was a terrible day for the handful of researchers in Foulum who, after years of work calculating nitrogen emissions, had to concede that an error had been discovered despite numerous checks and double-checks. But that does not mean there is now reason to doubt all the calculations, nor that the foundations of the new nitrogen regulation are crumbling, says Professor Jørgen Eriksen.
