For the following, Go TO Center's blog at www.southatlanticbytes.blog Independence from what? Congressman Buddy Carter's Climate Denialism on Full Display Timely advice for the planning authorities of coastal Georgia What is the most pressing environmental threat? Ignoring facts has dangerous consequences. The coronavirus outbreak must be controlled with science, just as climate-change impacts must be curbed with fact-based policies. Political manipulation cannot protect us. Suppressing factual information threatens our health, quality of life, and future. The politicization of information about COVID-19 and other threats will reduce trust and undermine the effectiveness of both public health advisories and environmental policies. Action Recommended: Urge senators and representatives in Congress to ensure that Americans at risk are properly protected by restoring science in all aspects of government.
