   With those five simple words, a global network of scientists and professionals   
   attempted to inject reasonableness and decorum into what should be a robust   
   discussion about a complex scientific and public policy issue, but has instead   
   degenerated into an    
   ever more intense mud-slinging contest over the years.   
      
      
   People on one side of the argument dismiss their opponents as wild-eyed   
   socialists attempting to leverage public fear and ignorance to further their   
   political agenda. On the opposite side, people dismiss those who disagree with   
   their supposedly settled    
   scientific conclusions as nothing more than knowing shills or ignorant dupes   
   of evil energy interests.   
      
   In between those extremes that are so popular with armies of public relations   
   professionals, who shape the messages of public interest groups and   
   professional politicians to maximum effect, are a not-so-quiet silent majority   
   of scientists and    
   professionals who take a more measured, reasoned view of the science when   
   considering the supposed climate emergency some say we’re facing.   
      
   A group of 500-some scientists and professionals signed on to the “European   
   Climate Declaration” that was released last week. This simple, short, and   
   understandable statement proposed how analysis of any public policy issue   
   involving complex science    
   should be approached from a reasoned, fact-based perspective.
