Defend Climate Science

 

For centuries science has made the world better for all of us. It's made our food, our air, and our water safer. It’s made our lives healthier, more productive, and efficient. Science has brought us many of the conveniences we take for granted in our day-to-day lives.

But recently, science, and especially climate science, has become a political football. Corporations, front groups, media pundits, and legislators seeking to delay desperately-needed action to reduce global warming pollution have manufactured controversies and misrepresented the facts.

We Need Your Help
You can help UCS raise public awareness about the true facts on climate change and turn America's attention back to the urgent need to rein in global warming pollution.


They want to sow confusion and lull the public into a dangerous complacency.

Why? Because they’re scared. In the last few years we’ve made substantial progress toward reining in harmful emissions and establishing a cleaner approach to our nation's energy system.

Change is coming, and these attacks on science are simply a last ditch attempt by polluting industries and their allies in media and Congress to continue to operate business as usual.

The Union of Concerned Scientists is leading a campaign to promote climate science facts and return the public’s attention back to the urgent need to rein in global warming pollution and implement common-sense solutions to our country’s energy needs.

But we need your support to do this. Please become a member today.

 

With your support, we will:

  • Organize scientists from around the country to beat back misinformation and educate decision makers and the public about the real facts on global warming.
  • Develop and distribute accessible, robust materials to help the media and public understand the science behind global warming.
  • Engage experts in key states to highlight the local impacts of global warming, costs of inaction, and opportunities for state-based action.
  • Build American pride in the dedicated researchers who are working to understand and adapt to the consequences of our changing climate.

The weight of the scientific evidence for human-caused global warming is irrefutable. We must act now.
