Science as a Contact Sport

Boxing Gloves

How are the venomous personal attacks on climate scientists impacting their work? Is the scrutiny causing them to be even more cautious than they are by nature? A chilling effect? What needs to be done to make scientists better public communicators? Is Bjorn Lomborg's partial revision of his skeptical views on global warming an aberration or an indication of a broader shift? Join us for a discussion of politics and science in the age of "global weirding."
