Plan B: scientists get radical in bid to halt global warming `catastrophe'
by Jonathan Leake
March 15, 2009
From the page: "Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said he believed scientists, the people who knew most about climate change, now had a moral obligation to become politically active. He has chosen Coventry to stage Thursday's protest because it is home to E.ON, the power company that is planning a giant new coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth in Kent.
He will lead the demonstrators to a final protest on its doorstep. The protest, being organised by Christian Aid, will involve a New Orleans-style funeral march by "mournersâ" for future lost generations.
"We can no longer allow politicians and business to twist and ignore science," said Hansen."

From the page: "Investigative journalism is important. It saves lives and protects the public from corruption. How did we learn that the wood in playground equipment was treated with serious cancer-causing preservatives? Or that our government paid for poor patients to be injected with plutonium for horrifying medical research that killed and maimed them? We know these facts because reporters told us. Improvements in society don't come without a push. It's often news reporting that's behind legislatures, regulators, and trade groups finally acting to clean up abuses.
Our vigorous free press is one of the beacons that set America apart.
But those of us in the profession are watching with horror at how quickly that light is being extinguished and how little the public seems to care..."

America unprepared for climate change, say policy advisers
by Suzanne Goldenberg, US environment correspondent
guardian.co.uk, Thursday 12 March 2009
From the page: "The National Research Council, a policy advice centre that is part of the US National Academy of Sciences, said that government agencies and political leaders, concerned more than ever about climate change, were not getting the information or the guidance they needed."
