Latest climate science report

The National Academy of Sciences has signed off on the draft federal climate change report, a special science section of the National Climate Assessment, which is congressionally mandated. As the New York Times reported, some scientists are fearful that the report will not be officially released by the government. It’s quite blunt in its assessment, apparently: “Evidence for a changing climate abounds, from the top of the atmosphere to the depths of the oceans.”

Today, I signed a petition on the White House’s own WeThePeople site, urging the government to release the report in its current form, the one peer reviewed by the National Academy of Sciences.
