More than 85 veteran climate scientists have pushed back against a Trump administration report downplaying the severity of climate change, submitting more than 400 pages in public comments to the Energy Department.
They are, of course, right in their statement. But why do all those scientists still believe that one more statement will do any good? We’ve had 6 IPCC reports and thousands of papers and guides for policy makers and such. We do not have an information problem, we have an action problem. If they want to stand for science, they need to actually stand and not just write. It’s ironically rather unscientific to keep doing things that have not worked in the past.
They should look at Peter Kalmus, for example. He’s doing good.
