Climate Science Watch congratulates President-Elect Barack Obama and his 64+ million supporters on their victory yesterday. We will do whatever we can to encourage his new administration to bring about the change we need in dealing with the threat of global climatic disruption—including restoring integrity to the relationship between climate science and policymaking and supporting climate change preparedness in communities across the country. We look to the coming period with renewed hope tempered with an awareness of the extraordinary magnitude of the challenges we face.
