What Thought Leaders say about Climate Feedback
“Climate scientists are in the best position to counter the reams of misinformation and disinformation that daily bombard the public, but our voices are often distorted or ignored by the media through which we speak. Climate Feedback offers us the opportunity to quickly, easily, and effectively counter bad information in our own words.”
Kerry Emanuel, Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT
“I sense that scientists are just about ready to come out of the lab and get more active, and when they do, it will make a remarkable difference. Climate Feedback is a great vehicle for that work — every citizen of this beleaguered planet deserves the credible information it will provide.”
Bill McKibben, Founder of 350.org
“There is far too much misinformation and disinformation polluting the public discourse over human-caused climate change. Climate Feedback provides a critical forum for true experts from within the scientific community to fact-check claims about the science and litigate the inevitable disputes that arise in media coverage of this politically-contentious topic.”
Michael Mann, Distinguished Professor, Penn State University
“I think Climate Feedback is useful. Correcting errors of fact is a good idea. It is also good to call out folks who are presenting themselves as scientific experts when they are not.”
Naomi Oreskes, Professor of the History of Science, Harvard University
“Climate Feedback is a little like FDA approval, or a top-grade from consumer reports. You don’t send someone to cover the World Series who doesn’t know what balls and strikes and home runs are. You need someone who has the expertise to look at climate science.”
