According to
their website, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Association (NOAA)'s mission is this: "To understand and
predict changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coasts, to
share that knowledge and information with others, and to
conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and
resources." In other words, it seems pretty clear that one of
their very top concerns — by basic definition — would be
climate change. So why did the Trump administration hire David
Legates, a man who has spent years actively denying the
scientific truths of climate change, to the agency? Sign the petition pleading with NOAA to fill
this position with a scientist who actually believes in fact,
and has enough courage to admit that climate change is very
real!
Putting climate science deniers
like Legates in influential positions within the agencies
meant to prepare us for climate change is nonsense. This man
is dangerous; he has spent his career lying and touting bad
science. His actions will ultimately be partially to
blame for needless suffering and death coming down the pike if
we don't take climate change seriously. The least we
can do is keep him out of influential positions. Sign the petition and ask that the agency
rescind Legates' appointment, and that they fill that position
with a suitable replacement that actually follows
science!
Thank you,

P.S. This man
is a dangerous climate science denier, we can't let him work
for NOAA. Sign the petition. |
