Issue:
The Trump Administration may be about to take another step in its campaign to suppress science.
Action:
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) is asking for 100,000 signatures on a petition that calls on the President to issue the Climate Science Special Report without altering it to reflect the Administration’s unfounded claims that there is no evidence humans are contributing to global warming.
Please read and sign the EDF petition here:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/publish-climate-science-report-without-political-interference-and-censorship?autologin=true
PLEASE NOTE: Signing petitions on the White House Petition Site is a two-step process. First you must add your name and email address and click submit. Then you must check your email inbox to confirm your submission by clicking a link in a bounce-back email. It’s important that you take both steps to make sure your name is counted.
Background:
The White House is reviewing the Climate Science Special Report prepared by scientists from 13 federal agencies and the private sector that presents the current status of scientific findings on the causes and effects of climate change.
