There are all too many denier efforts to confuse and distort the discussion related to climate change. One element of this, which all too often ends up in the press, is to suggest that the random and anti-science voice of deniers, some form of group “petitioning” against a society’s climate-change statement, somehow merits equal weight against the huge body of science and the huge number of scientists who “are behind the headlines.
Spend a few moments with Rachel Pike to get a perspective on the extent of work “behind the headlines”. As she comments,
It is such a large community that our annual meeting is the largest scientific meeting in the world.
Hat tip to Greenfyre, who provides a range of worthwhile links in The science behind a climate change headline.
