Dispatch from Planet Hayhoe: "the science is fact — like the sky is blue, the grass is green and the temperature of our planet is increasing"

Climate scientist spurned by Gingrich laments ‘politicization’ - The Hill's E2-Wire

A week after GOP White House hopeful Newt Gingrich said he nixed plans for a chapter on climate change in his new book, the author of the chapter is lamenting the “politicization and polarization” of the issue.

“I really, really deplore the politicization and polarization of this issue,” Katharine Hayhoe, a well-known climate scientist who had been tasked with writing a chapter on climate change for Gingrich’s new book on the environment, told The Guardian, a British newspaper. “There are these increasingly unprincipled attempts to polarize the science when the science is fact — like the sky is blue, the grass is green and the temperature of our planet is increasing.”
