‘Evangelical Scientists and Academics’ Mistaken in Urging Congress to Act on Climate

By /

  Climatologist Dr. David Legates’s response  to the letter from “evangelical scientists and academics” urging Congress to immediate action to fight global warming by reducing fossil fuel use points out some of its factual inaccuracies and the harms that would be done by acting on its advice.
