American Association for the Advancement of Science

 

The American Association for the Advancement of  Science (AAAS) was founded in 1848 and is the largest general science organization in the world. It promotes science and, in the recent anti-science years, has focused on defending scientists. Its world-renowned “Science” magazine is distributed to its 120,000 members, of which, I am a proud member. You can be too. https://www.aaas.org/

Here is the first paragraph of the multinational science organization climate statement issued in 2001:

The work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) represents the consensus of the international scientific community on climate change science. We recognize the IPCC as the world's most reliable source of information on climate change and its causes, and we endorse its method of achieving this consensus. Despite increasing consensus on the science underpinning predictions of global climate change, doubts have been expressed recently about the need to mitigate the risks posed by global climate change. We do not consider such doubts justified.

Hard to believe the debate still rages within our citizenry.
