The lack of
coverage is because global warming has been long “politicized” by the fossil
industries, their billionaire owner/shareholder activists and the Republican Party
for more than two decades. It is made to seem like a question of political
beliefs rather than the continuous accumulation scientific evidence. The
American public has been increasingly inundated with outright lies about the
compelling evidence (since 1988) of global warming and its primary causation being
human activity - and by many forms of more subtle misinformation.
The media,
under political and economic pressure, continues to avoid the most important
issue in this election - bearing on the very future of humanity.
What can be
done?
- Help elect a President and members of Congress that are on record as recognizing that human activity is the main driver of this crisis and
- that reducing warming gas emissions as quickly as possible is the most urgent priority for the new Administration and Congress in 2017.
VOTE OUT GOP DENIERS/OBSTRUCTIONISTS! |
Scientists have been writing and speaking out for public
consumption from 1993 on. Other citizens can help raise the profile of the
issue in many ways (for example, contacting their local media outlets) but
during this active campaigning period we can also ask candidates to explain
their positions in the public campaign forums.
Specifically, why are the
Republican candidates rejecting the worldwide scientific consensus?
Since 1975, the worldwide scientific community has been
collecting more and more evidence that the world is warming primarily because
of or long use of coal, oil, and gas.
Among advanced industrial nations, the
United States is the ONLY nation not recognizing the continuously accumulating
scientific evidence that we are on the verge of runaway global warming that
will threaten the very survival of humanity. The 2016 election is our chance –
our hope – to slow global warming enough so that humanity can adapt to the
negative impacts that warming brings with minimum catastrophic impact.
