IT'S TOO LATE

American scientists have taken too long to fight the climate denialists and I don't think this effort will do much good because denialism is like a religion for conservatives.

US scientists to speak out against climate change 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 wins in Congress.

One group of about 40 scientists has been mobilized as a "rapid response team" to dive into the often hostile media environment and refute misinformation about global warming, organizer John P. Abraham of the University of Minnesota told AFP.


Another group of 700 scientists who "have agreed to speak out as experts on questions about global warming and the role of man-made air pollution" was set to be announced later Monday by the American Geophysical Union, the Los Angeles Times said.

The moves signals a bold approach by scientists, typically reluctant to get involved in policy debates, as US President Barack Obama's efforts to install stricter penalties for polluters face a steep climb in the legislature.
