Permalink Hundreds of scientists plan rhetorical /propaganda assault on climate skeptics

Hundreds of US scientists are joining a mass effort to "speak out" on climate change, experts said Monday after skeptics gained political ground with last week's Republican gains in Congress. The moves signals a bold approach by scientists, typically reluctant to get involved in policy debates, as US President Barack Obama's efforts to set stricter penalties for polluters face near-certain defeat in the legislature. Scientists involved insisted the mobilization was not in direct response to conservative gains in power and did not [???] aim to influence public policy, but would offer the opportunity to present the "facts" when needed.

"I think it is important for scientists to assure that the public and policy makers have a clear view of what scientific findings are and what the implications of those findings are," [said Princeton University scientistMichael Oppenheimer.] "To the extent that some members of the new majority in the House have exhibited a contrarianism to science, I think it is a good way to have a scientific community there to help keep its facts clear."
