Support good science
The Issue
To act fast and effectively to curb global warming, our elected officials must support good science, restore the flow of scientific information, rebuild federal agencies devastated by political interference, and protect federal scientists. Support these policies by contacting your political representatives, staying informed yourself, and telling friends about what you learn. Read what Sens. McCain and Obama have to say about science at ScienceDebate2008.com. And get more background with the Union of Concerned Scientists' report, "Atmosphere of Pressure: Political Interference in Federal Climate Science."
