When the End of Human Civilization Is Your Day Job

[ellenrr]

This is an illuminating and sad article about climate scientists who get so intimidated, even death threats, when they speak their truth.

Some of them suffer psychic trauma, some of them leave the US bec. they cannot stand the response when they speak up.

"for their pains the scientists have been the targets of an unrelenting and well-organized attack that includes death threats, summonses from a hostile Congress, attempts to get them fired, legal harassment, and intrusive discovery demands so severe they had to start their own legal-defense fund, all amplified by a relentless propaganda campaign nakedly financed by the fossil-fuel companies."
