AGU demands NOAA appointment be rescinded
As the leading scientific society representing climate scientists, AGU urges revocation of David Legates’ appointment as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Observation and Prediction at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. With climate change producing raging wildfires in the western United States and devastating hurricanes in the Atlantic, our nation – and the world – cannot afford to have our federal government undermining the important work of climate scientists. Legates’ appointment not only threatens our ability to combat the climate crisis and protect our planet for future generations, it undermines scientific integrity at NOAA. Climate change knows no boundaries. As such, the impact of this appointment will be felt around the world.

As a retired environmental educator and interpretive naturalist I am apalled at this appointment! Climate change is killing the planet!
[…] L’Union américaine de géophysique (AGU), puissante société savante qui chaperonne, entre autres, la climatologie, a déploré une nomination dont les «conséquences se feront sentir dans le monde entier». Car «avec le changement climatique qui provoque des incendies de forêt dans l’ouest des États-Unis et des ouragans dévastateurs dans l’Atlantique, notre nation – et le monde – ne peut pas se permettre que notre gouvernement fédéral mine le travail important des climatologues. La nomination de Legates ne menace pas seulement notre capacité à lutter contre la crise climatique et à protéger notre planète pour les générations futures, elle porte atteinte à l’intégrité scientifique de la NOAA», déplore l’AGU. Les scientifiques réclament ainsi la «révocation» de David Legates. […]
