NCSE and climate change

Is there a need for an NCSE for climate science? See Genie Scott's interview with "Flock of Dodos" filmmaker Randy Olson.

Thumbs up if you're slightly in love Genie for being brilliant and beautiful.

I definately think so, the misinformation campaign played by claimate deniers is actually more dangerous than creationism, because this misinformation goes beyond just screwing up science education to actually harming the livability of this planet for future generations.

slightly? understatement of the year :)

What misinformation?

Actually, mainstream textbooks on religion, such as "Experiencing the World's Religions" by Molloy ( 2009) treats environmentalism as a religion or rather a "religious phenomena". The correct reply is to point out that climate science has nothing per se to do with environmentalism and equating the two is basically a straw man argument.

Just go to the AMS site. There is a little hunting involved to find their statement, but they essentially ditto the IPCC Synthesis report of 07. The AMS statement is in effect until 2012(if no new science comes out to refute this position). It will be 4 yrs in Feb since they put this up on their site. The AMS represents one of the biggest professional meteorological groups in the world and they are members of the International MS.

You can also read about them to make sure.

That's what a scientific paper is. This is a database of published (and therefore peer reviewed) papers. Type in Drosophila and papers about drosophila come up. Type in Bottle neck and cheetahs and papers about that will come up. This is a tool. Learn how to use them.

It is really sad that our science curriculums don't teach about databases until you are in a college class; these would help dramatically with letting people get useful information.

But yes, all are peer reviewed.
