“How is it that, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, there are still some who would deny the dangers of climate change? Not surprisingly, the loudest voices are not scientific, and it is remarkable how many economists, lawyers, journalists and politicians set themselves up as experts on the science.” StillsFacesVoiceDangerPoliticianEvidenceClimateClimate ChangeDenyLawyerJournalistExpertsRemarkableOverwhelmingEconomistScientific Evidence Author:Nicholas Stern
