Reported By Fox News on 2015-09-28

“Dismayed by what they see as a lack of progress on the implementation of climate policies that they support … 20 scientists sent a letter to the White House calling for their political opponents to be investigated by the government….

The role of these 20 scientists is particularly troubling.  The consequence of this persecution … is to make pariahs of scientists who are doing exactly what we expect of researchers: to critically evaluate evidence and publish that work in the scientific literature…. What these 20 scientists have done with their letter is the worst kind of irresponsible advocacy. Attempts by powerful people to silence other scientists, especially in this brutal fashion, is a recipe for stifling scientific progress and for making poor policies….”

Reported By wattsupwiththat.com on 2015-09-24
