Dr. Pielke, a professor and the author of “The Honest Broker,” argues that most scientists are fundamentally mistaken about their role in political debates. They like to think of themselves in one of two roles: as a pure researcher, or an impartial arbiter offering expert answers to politicians’ questions. But climate change, like most political issues, isn’t so simple. While most members of the public want to avoid future harm from climate change, they have conflicting values about which sacrifices are worthwhile today, reports John Tierney in The New York Times. |
