Scientists for Science-Based Policy- About

[ HOME ] [ ABOUT THE PHOTO ] [ MEDIA ] [ ABOUT ]

A foundational pillar of all scientific endeavor is the establishment and preservation of all inquiry and knowledge that allows us to understand, and perhaps predict the future of, our world. The “Scientists for Science-Based Policy” is a platform for a group of Earth’s most distinguished scientists, all members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, who are united by their profound concern about anthropogenically driven climate change and policies that undermine substantive measures to address it. They signed the letter on this website as individuals, but their warning should be heeded by us all.

GeneTex is honored to accept the invitation of the website’s creators to host it so that this message will be preserved for all to read.

It will be here for as long as GeneTex exists.

Who We Are

We are members of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), acting as individuals rather than on behalf of the NAS or other institutions. Congress and President Lincoln chartered the NAS in 1863 to provide scientific advice. Members represent all scientific fields and are elected by their peers based on the quality of their research.

Why This Matters

The dismissal of scientific evidence in policy formulation has affected wide areas of the social, biological, environmental and physical sciences. It has been particularly egregious in climate science.

What We Call For

We call on the U.S. Federal Government to maintain public scientific content, to appoint qualified scientific personnel, to stop censoring and intimidating Government scientists, and to rejoin the Paris Agreement.
