“We have concerns that there appear to be
attempts by a member of the National Security
Council to influence and interfere with the
ability of NASA, a federal science agency,
to communicate accurately about research
findings on climate science,” said Rush Holt, chief
executive officer of the American Association
for the Advance of Science, the world’s largest
general scientific society.
Hundreds of scientific assessments by leading
researchers and institutions the last few decades
have looked at all the evidence and been
“extremely credible and routinely withstand
intense scrutiny,” said Keith Seitter, executive
director of the American Meteorological Society.
He said efforts to dismiss or discredit such
assessments are “an incredible disservice
to the public.”
