Climate change info war offensive #3

More and more voices are starting to say that scientists need to take the initiative in communicating the true climate science in the face of the deniers and liars. Here (Dr Richard Betts is head of climate impacts at the Met Office Hadley Centre) is one British scientist joining this growing chorus:  "Climate scientists need to take more responsibility for the communication of their work to avoid this kind of thing.... If we do not help the media, NGOs and the public to understand this, we have done nothing to stop them getting it wrong....  If our science is misunderstood and misused, and then turned against us, it really will be a case of We've Been Framed."
