What’s it about? Even in 2023, we still have GOP politicians saying that climate science is “a hoax.” The systematic undermining of public confidence in climate science, and in science in general, has caused untold harm to America and to the world, by delaying the machines of American ingenuity and industry from rapidly transforming our economy to run on clean energy.
Science is a very powerful tool, and many of our best scientists are working hard to create a path to a sustainable future. To learn about these efforts, look at some of the real sources below. And be careful about getting your news from social media platforms. They are often designed to deceive and confuse!
