Scientists have had e**ugh of Congress' climate denial. On Tuesday, a whopping 31 major scientific groups — representing tens of thousands of researchers — delivered a joint letter to Capitol Hill to present a unified front on the seriousness of human-caused global warming and the need to address it.
The 3-page letter (http://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/migrate/uploads/1021climate_letter1.pdf), which is a more forceful version of a 2009 letter (http://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/migrate/uploads/1021climate_letter1.pdf) to which 19 scientific societies signed on, comes as the House Science Committee continues to investigate peer reviewed studies of climate change.*

It also landed on Congress' doorstep as House lawmakers are maneuvering to block the Pentagon (http://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2016/06/republicans-trying-to-stop-pentagon-climate-plan-000149) from spending money to implement its plan to adapt to global warming and prepare for the more unstable world it is ushering in.* Read more...
