42 Climatologists Write To Gov. Voldemort; "Climate Change Is Not A Hypothetical"

Last month five climate scientists gave Florida Gov. Rick Scott a crash-course in climate change, a meeting that left some of the scientists wondering how much information Scott had absorbed. Now they are calling on the governor to meet with them again — this time for a summit focused on finding solutions to climate change.

As the Miami Herald reported, the five scientists who met with Scott — along with 37 other Florida-based climate scientists — wrote a letter to Scott and the rest of Florida’s policymakers Thursday, asking them to attend a Climate Science and Solutions Summit that the scientists are planning for the fall.

The letter comes in response to Scott’s statement in July that he was “focused on solutions we can implement to protect our land, water, and families,” a focus that he repeated the day of his August 19 meeting with the climate scientists, telling reporters he was more interested in talking about the solutions to climate change than he was its causes.

“We share Governor Scott’s desire for solutions,” the scientists wrote. “It is crucial for policymakers to understand that human activity is affecting the composition of the atmosphere which will lead to adverse effects on human economies, health and well being. Once policy makers understand this problem, it follows that we are capable of taking action for both adaptation and to prevent the problem from accelerating.”
