Scientists With Different Politics Speak With One Voice on Climate - NYTimes.com
I encourage you to read a Miami Herald Op-Ed article written by Kerry Emanuel, a veteran climate and hurricane researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Peter C. Frumhoff, an ecologist who directs science and policy for the Union of Concerned Scientists.Flashback: Reality Bites
Emanuel is a proud, lifelong Republican. Or at least, he was until recently, when he voted for Barack Obama, the first time he’s ever backed a Democrat. In 2008, Emanuel says, he was a “single issue” voter concerned about science and climate change. “I don’t like it when ideology trumps reason, and I see that the Republicans are guilty of that in spades at the moment,” he says.
“I’ve been toying with the idea of officially switching to independent status,” he adds.
