Yesterday,
375 of the world』s top scientists, including 30 Nobel Prize winners, published
an open letter regarding climate change. In the letter, the scientists report
that the evidence is clear: humans are causing climate change. We are now
observing climate change and its affect across the globe. The seas are rising,
the oceans are warming, the lower atmosphere is warming, the land is warming,
ice is melting, rainfall patterns are changing and the ocean is becoming more
acidic.
…
In the
letter, the scientists venture deeper into politics than scientists are
generally willing to tread. They describe the inane Republican platform and the
foolish position of the Republican nominee Donald Trump. Basically, Trump
wishes to scrap our environmental agreements, which have resulted in reductions
to our own emissions as well as very strong agreements to reduce global warming
through international agreements.
